Lio Slama: Entrepreneur, Artist, and Founder of The Neo Club

Lio Slama is a French entrepreneur and artist based in New York City. He is the founder of The Neo Club, a private club that brings together entrepreneurs, creators, and artists to network and collaborate in an authentic and genuine way.13

Artistic Background

Despite being colorblind from birth, Slama began experimenting with paint and colors at age 4. His unique perception of the world led him to develop his own artistic style, considering each painting as a volume rather than a flat surface.1

Slama's works are painted on all five visible faces of the canvas, with the sides becoming an integral part of the artwork that can be enjoyed from various vantage points. He also uses techniques like centralized perspective, paint thickness, and marbling to create depth.1

Entrepreneurial Journey

After attending architecture school in France, Slama became one of the youngest project managers in the world as the new Head Architect for the renovation of the International Labor Organization in Switzerland.1

He later became a serial entrepreneur in the tech industry, founding SquarePlan in 2017, a proptech startup dedicated to streamlining property management in office space. During the COVID-19 pandemic, SquarePlan transformed into AskNeo, an AI-powered platform that helps consumer brands personalize customer interactions.1

In 2022, Slama launched AskNeo Media to help growing startups develop winning branding and content strategies.1

The Neo Club

In 2023, Slama and his friends established The Neo Club, a private club that meets two to three times a month on private rooftops, penthouses, and art galleries.13 The club's mission is to bridge the gap between the tech and art worlds, bringing together highly creative entrepreneurs and artists.1

The Neo Club aims to provide a space for like-minded individuals to gather and network in an authentic and genuine way, fostering a community of passionate creators and makers.3 Membership is open to entrepreneurs, investors, and creators who are genuinely starting their own company or fund.2
