Togji Tagbia Louevie

Togji Tagbia Louevie is a long-term peer from Mike's student years, reconnected through LinkedIn messages in 2025. She works in Data and AI. Over five years (2021–2025) her thread is the second-largest human correspondence on LinkedIn after Achraf Adjileye, with 23 recorded messages.

Relationship

The communication is casual and peer-to-peer — French, with easy registers. Togji surfaces in the record as a reunion rather than an active friend. The most substantive exchange is from April 2025, when Mike described his founder status in self-deprecating terms:

"Entreprise, c'est un bien grand mot mdr. C'est juste une startup qui n'a pas encore de revenus lol."

A month later, after Togji expressed interest in what Mike was building, he answered:

"Il faut bien commencer quelque part haha, en tout cas il y a l'air d'avoir des intéressés."

The exchange is useful as a window onto how Mike describes his work to someone outside the daily founder circle. The tone is more deflationary than the public Ship Fast in Public vlog framing — acknowledging pre-revenue state, deflecting impressiveness, and signaling early traction without claiming a company.

Significance

Togji's presence in the LinkedIn record documents a thread that otherwise does not surface in the wiki: old cohort connections from Mike's DUT and ESIEE years. Most peers from that period have not stayed in regular contact. The continuity with Togji specifically, and her current Data and AI focus, makes her a representative of a technical-adjacent peer network Mike has kept alive at low frequency rather than formally activated.
