Legapass co-founder Jean-Charles Chemin becomes president of Nice Start(s) Up

The head of the Nice-based digital inheritance start-up is taking charge of the association that brings together the city's young company ecosystem.

Nice Start(s) Up, the association that brings together founders and players in Nice's innovation scene, has a new president: Jean-Charles Chemin, Le Journal des Entreprises reported.

The new president is one of the three co-founders of Legapass, alongside Adelina Prokhorova and Eric Maïda. Set up in Nice at the end of 2021, the start-up offers a secure digital vault for organising and passing on one's digital legacy, from important documents to access to online accounts.

Legapass was supported by the Incubateur Provence Côte d'Azur. The issue it addresses is growing in importance as administrative and financial life moves online: what happens to a person's accounts, photos and digital documents after their death?
