Succession isn’t just an HBO drama.

It’s real. It’s messy. And when it happens inside a high-growth SaaS company, it can break everything.

In this raw, unfiltered episode of Forge of Unicorns, we sit down with 🇫🇷 Adrien Salvat, CEO of WebInterpret to launch our brand-new format:

🎙️ “𝗜𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗱 𝗼𝗳 𝗮 𝗖𝗘𝗢”

💥 What’s the story?

Adrien didn’t just survive a founder exit.

He rebuilt the company — culturally, structurally, and emotionally — without losing his people.

And he did it while staring down the biggest hype tsunami of the decade: GenAI.

“If you’re transparent with your people—they give it back to you.”

— Adrien Salvat
