ABOUT US
WELCOME TO DUODEAL
Our founders, Maxime Houssin and Aymeric de Guerre, started Duodeal after seven years of building Atawa together — a bootstrapped business they grew from zero to €12M in revenue, sending thousands of proposals along the way. Driven by what they learned on the other side of every quote, every signature, and every silent PDF, their mission is to put the proposal back where it belongs — at the heart of the sale.
OUR STORY
Together, we're building the selling layer every team should have had years ago.
FOUNDED
2024
From day one at Atawa, they faced the same problem every sales team faces: their proposals were built on Google Sheets. Quickly, they found it limiting and time-wasting. They searched the market for a tool that matched their vision — an online space where the client could experience the proposal, not just read a document. Nothing existed. So they built it internally.
That internal tool became a game-changer for Atawa's sales team. Their clients started asking: "Where can we get this tool?" After successfully selling Atawa, Maxime and Aymeric decided to turn that internal tool into a product for every sales team. Duodeal was born — backed by 7 years of real-world sales experience using a working version of the vision.
This is not a product built in a lab. It's a product born from the field.

WHAT WE BELIEVE
How we make sure every deal moves forward.
BUILT BY
SELLERS
- /01
The proposal is the moment.
The proposal isn't the paperwork at the end — it's the moment the deal is won or lost. Treat it like a product, not a document.
- /02
Sellers should sell.
Formatting, version control and chasing PDFs steal the hours your team should spend listening and closing. Native AI takes that work back.
- /03
The buyer is on the team.
A proposal isn't something you send and wait on — it's a conversation. The buyer should be able to explore, ask, and sign without ever leaving the page.

Maxence Despeuilles
Lead Developer
Maxence leads development at Duodeal. Before joining the journey, he built applications and websites for demanding clients — including Legalstart, which became one of the fastest-growing legal-tech companies in its sector. His client work taught him that the difference between a good product and a great one usually comes down to onboarding and UX. That conviction shows up everywhere in what we build.
He's also followed the evolution of AI closely from its earliest days, which has shaped how we've built Duodeal from the start.
