Nicolas Mercatili
Businesses people can find.
Driving experiences people remember.
Entrepreneur, founder and investor. I build companies that create visibility, experiences and lasting value.
From digital work to the most demanding roads, one thread has never changed: turning a conviction into something built to last.

PremDrive
A travel agency built around driving experiences: touring rallies in GTs and supercars, off-road SSV raids in Morocco and snowmobile expeditions in Canada. Adventures designed with my wife Christelle.

CN Digital
Since 2010 I have been making brands visible where people look for them: Google, and now ChatGPT, Perplexity and the AI assistants. I also publish several WordPress and SEO products.

Real estate
Wealth built for the long run: short and long-term rentals, real estate crowdfunding and hand-picked direct projects. No promised returns, just consistency.

Nothing was written.
At 16, losing my father suddenly changed my course. I learned early to keep moving, to seize opportunities and to build my own independence.
After years with the French national railways, I started building websites and doing SEO in 2010. A few years later I left the security of a permanent job to go all in on entrepreneurship.
In 2017 I co-founded Semjuice, which became a leading name in link-building strategies in France. That venture confirmed a conviction: success is never only technical. It comes down to the team, the standards you hold, timing and vision.
Today I split my time between digital visibility, the PremDrive adventure and investing.
Speaking
From the stage
to the work.
Conferences, webinars, interviews and television: speaking in public has been one of the hardest-won victories of my life.

More than a hundred appearances, including training workshops run at Google, to share web expertise, grow a community and defend a certain idea of entrepreneurship.
