Bio
Philippe Schmit is the founder and CEO of Social Cooling. Holding three Master’s degrees in law and with extensive experience in corporate law, he founded Social Cooling to develop an installation‑free air conditioner that consumes 40% less electricity, born out of his own frustration with the hurdles of traditional cooling. After years of testing and refining concepts, one design showed real promise, prompting him to leave his corporate law career and build the startup. Today, Social Cooling has an MVP, secured its first investments, and generated over €100k in revenue.
