Marin Godechot is Co-Founder and CTO at First Concepts, a London-based AI-native workspace that helps creative agencies move from brief to pitch-ready concepts faster.

Marin trained as a software engineer at ISEP in Paris, with international study stints in Prague and Wuhan, before spending nearly four years at healthcare startup Birdie where he led mobile platform development at scale.

A full-stack and AI engineer with over ten years of experience, Marin previously built a solo AI-powered app development agency and won an Internet of Agents Hackathon with an AI image and video generation agent.

First Concepts raised a $1M pre-seed round led by Araya Ventures and Antler, with participation from senior industry figures including former Havas Managing Partner Jez Jowett and We Are Social founder Nathan McDonald.

The platform is used by over 40 independent creative agencies across London and New York, including Mother and R/GA, delivering up to 70% time savings on pitch workflows.
