01 / WHAT IT BUILT
What the company did
Miraxess was a French startup founded in 2015 by Yanis Anteur and Paul-Emile René, based in Lyon and Strasbourg. It built the Mirabook, a laptop dock that turned a smartphone into a full-fledged laptop — its slogan was 'turn the smartphone into a laptop' — promoting 'mobile convergence' as the next revolution in computing. The company raised a €2.5 million venture round in January 2023 from investors including Bpifrance, Alsace Business Angels, Capital Grand Est and Finovam Gestion, but was later liquidated: PitchBook records a bankruptcy liquidation completed on July 10, 2025.
