Axel Sategna is a Monegasque entrepreneur launching Monaco’s first social network. It’s called Intouch, it’s free, and it’s going live November 18.

Available soon from the App Store and Google Play, Axel says Intouch offers a simple solution to a universal problem: knowing what to do, where, when, and with whom – in just a few clicks.
The idea came to him during a business trip to Montreal where he spent a week interviewing for jobs in finance. He realised how difficult it was to find the right places to go out, where to go for a walk, or just to connect with others in person over coffee.

“None of the existing social platforms – Meetup, Eventbrite, Instagram, LinkedIn, or others – truly filled that gap”, explains the 30-year-old. “Intouch’s mission is to fight boredom, reduce isolation, and bring people closer together through a living map of activities spanning sports, entertainment, culture, and volunteering.”
The bilingual go-getter became driven by an ambition to truly transform the way we connect but, like many startups, faced financial hurdles. Outside of his full-time job at UBS Monaco, he spends his waking hours developing the first social network developed and launched from Monaco with support from Monaco Boost.
After graduating from the International University of Monaco with a Master’s degree in Finance with a Hedge Fund & Private Equity option, Axel built a foundation in private banking, asset management, audit, and the Constitutional Reserve Fund of Monaco – with experience in both Monaco and Luxembourg.
He hopes the Intouch app will expand to other territories after finding success in Monaco.
