Founder Profile
Jalphy Saint-Louis & Nichelle Sanders

Two constellations of experience, one north star to a generational opportunity.

Feel Sceen gives brands, the agencies that run their activations, and the large, sponsor-dependent event organizers who sell sponsorships decision-grade data on what their live experiences actually do. Between us we've held each of those seats, and Jalphy has built alongside frontier-tech engineering teams at fast-paced, venture-backed startups.

Why us

We've sat in every seat we sell to.

Each of our three buyers has a founder who has done their job, and the product is being built by someone who has run frontier-tech engineering teams. That is our unfair advantage in getting into this market: we know the work, and the buyers know us.

Buyer · BrandsNichelle

She works alongside the budget holders.

Nichelle, a former MD at R/GA and Mojo Supermarket and EVP/GM at Highsnobiety, has led account relationships on brands such as Nike, Meta, Target, Old Navy and Estée Lauder, working with the brand teams that set the budget.

Buyer · Event organizersJalphy & Nichelle

We've produced and sold the experiences.

Jalphy directed strategy and production for brand activations at Art Basel Miami Beach in 2024 and 2025. Nichelle ran marketing and strategy for AFROPUNK as it grew into a global festival, selling sponsorships without the data to prove them.

The build · Frontier techJalphy

He has run frontier-tech engineering teams.

At Spearbit, Jalphy selected and ran the security-research teams that audited Coinbase's Base and Polygon zkEVM before launch. That was across more than 50 engagements with fast-paced, venture-backed startups, including Uniswap and OpenSea.

We also get into new categories early. Jalphy was MIDAO's first sales hire, selling a new legal entity (DAO LLC) created by the Marshall Islands' 2022 DAO law. Feel Sceen is a member of the NVIDIA Inception program.
