Later, in October 2016, Steve and Chiara introduced BAIA BAIA, a fashion brand empowering customers to customize their shoes on the spot. This innovative concept was launched in Bangkok, which led to their decision to relocate to Hong Kong in 2017 to expand the BAIA operation further. In July 2022, Steve raised €4 million in financing to fuel the development and growth of Libertify, his innovative financial services platform. An additional €3.5 million is raised in April 2024.

  • Préface de Maurice Levy - Preface by Maurice Levy - President of the Supervisory Board of Publicis Group
  • "Steve et Jean-Emile Rosenblum racontent les folles années qui ont vu se transformer une simple idée en géant de l’e-commerce européen. Le récit est rempli d’anecdotes jamais racontées. On est vite emporté dans une histoire à rebondissements.
  • En plus d’un récit sur la croissance incroyable de PIXmania, les auteurs font revivre les choix cornéliens qui se sont imposés à eux à chaque moment clé. Du rachat du groupe familial à la vente au groupe Dixons, sans oublier les rebondissements des propositions successives de reprise par des géants de la distribution, rien ne manque dans les suspenses des récits d’aventures entrepreneuriales.
  • J’ai personnellement suivi Steve et Jean-Emile Rosenblum et leur entreprise de près. Ils étaient parmi les meilleurs.
  • Le livre se présente tour à tour tel un journal de bord, une explication détaillée d’une reprise par effet de levier (LBO), et un recueil des multiples erreurs faites par les deux fondateurs.
  • L’histoire de PIXmania est racontée sans concession et à livre ouvert pour revivre les années d’hyper-croissance de 2001 à 2012 de l’e-commerce français."
  • Steve and Jean-Emile Rosenblum recount the crazy years that saw a simple idea transform into a European e-commerce giant. The story is filled with untold anecdotes. We are quickly swept up in a story with twists and turns.
  • In addition to an account of the incredible growth of PIXmania, the authors bring to life the difficult choices that have been imposed on them at every key moment. From the takeover of the family group to the sale to the Dixons group, without forgetting the twists and turns of the successive takeover proposals by distribution giants, nothing is missing in the suspense of the stories of entrepreneurial adventures.
  • I personally followed Steve and Jean-Emile Rosenblum and their company closely. They were among the best.

Le palais de tokyo

Past Board Member

Nov 2011Jun 2014 · 2 yrs 7 mos · Paris Area, France

  • Sparkling, playful, adventurous, Palais de Tokyo, created ten years ago, woke Paris: anti-museum par excellence, fallow rebel in the 16th district, "palace" quirky and ambitious, exchanges and surprises, it was pioneered a movement of reconciliation between the City of Light and contemporary art. Its model and its programming have school beyond French borders, both in the circle of specialists that among fans and the general public.
  • With these successful years, the Palais de Tokyo became in 2012 one of the largest sites dedicated to contemporary art in Europe, its area from 8,000 m² to 22,000 m². It now extends to the Seine, forming a hyphen hillside between the Eiffel Tower and the Champs-Elysées. His success, his spirit of adventure and new spaces in the service of artists, their gestures and their eyes enhance our ability to perceive, think and open new paths.
  • Today the expansion of its territory and its project at Palais de Tokyo gives an opportunity to rethink the role of cultural institutions face the ongoing acceleration of our lives. He became the meeting place between ourselves and the art of our time. A place born, lived and grew its contradictions. Delighted and violent, and transgressive poetic, sensual and meditative, intimate and large, public and secret, which is known to be enthusiastic without being pompous, relaxed and attentive, sharp but accessible when you're not working on art but with the art, and where we work it.
  • The Palais de Tokyo is a destination with wide spaces are as mobile as the lives that cross. Secured a perpetual pier at the river, a terraced garden with forking paths, a utopia on, an interface whose residents and visitors live both inside and outside the city codes, the "culture" of the daily . Territory, offering explorers of this, the possibility modest and essential taste the flavors of pulsation and what emerges, making us finally daring contemporary of our own time.

Rosenblum collection & friends

  • Art Bunker Mixes Gulf Oil, Nuclear Protest, Welcomes Paris Kids
  • November 01, 2010, 8:15 PM EDT By Scott Reyburn Nov. 2 (Bloomberg) --
  • Parisʼs new contemporary-art museum looks like a nuclear bunker. Visitors enter via heavy steel doors to see the collection founded by French Internet entrepreneur Steve Rosenblum, 36. A black tunnel leads to a white space containing a 1950s fallout shelter.
  • “Itʼs a cross between an art foundation and an apartment,” says Rosenblum, the founder of the electrical e- commerce website Pixmania. “This is a place to show contemporary artists, who need exposure, and itʼs also a place to hang out with friends. Itʼs a mix,” says Rosenblum, dressed in a dark blue suit and open white shirt, surveying the labyrinth of minimalist black and white walls.
  • His international overview of emerging and emergent talent invites comparisons with established taste-making collectors such as Charles Saatchi in London and Don and Mira Rubell in Miami. Like them, Rosenblum buys from dealers before artists become fashionable brands at auction. The presence of buyers such as Francois Pinault and Bernard Arnault is boosting Parisʼs rivalry with London as the capital of Europeʼs art market.
  • Rosenblum and his wife Chiara have been collecting for five years and have acquired more than 120 pieces. His Fotovista Group, owner of Pixmania, was acquired by DSG International Plc, formerly known as Dixons Group, in April 2006.
  • The 15,000-square-foot (1,394 square meter) gallery in the southeast of Paris near the Bibliotheque Nationale de France is called Rosenblum Collection & Friends. It is a conversion of a former photographic laboratory by local architect Joseph Dirand.

President

Mar 2007Present · 19 yrs 3 mos · Luxembourg

  • We created Dotcorp Private Equity Fund because we were convinced that we have a unique vision of the market, people, and companies, and we wanted to prove that we were good at selecting companies and management.
  • We believe we are good at driving the change required in any entrepreneurial journey by bringing our experience to bear. We are different from the usual fund because we value creativity and innovation as key drivers of value creation. We are hands-on, and we contribute to value creation by assisting CEOs. We value reporting, but we find that it often hides the realities. We love spending time with operational teams and challenging them. It's quite difficult to explain in detail how we contribute because there is no checklist or agenda to cover.
  • We don't drive our investment decisions through the prism of risk analysis; we prefer to focus on the positive view that creativity and an “everything is possible” mindset can bring.
  • After 14 years of investing, we have invested in over 20+ companies with an IRR north of 30%.
