Founder & builder,
crafting the future of nightlife.
I'm Valentin Martel, a French founder. I design and ship products at the crossroads of nightlife, payments and social competition — currently building SpendR, the live leaderboard for the world's best venues.
Work
What I'm building.
Products designed in the dark, shipped for the night.
SpendR
The FOMO machine for nightlife. Staff generate a QR code, clients scan and pay in seconds, and a live leaderboard turns every venue into a competition. React Native, Node.js, Stripe.

About
A taste for the night.
French founder with a taste for the night. I spend my days (and most of my nights) building SpendR — frictionless payments and live leaderboards for the world's best venues. Before that: many late nights, a few good ideas, and the stubbornness to ship them. I care about products that feel premium, move fast, and make people feel something.
