Karim's story is one of courage, dedication, and positive attitude and energy.  I hope his vision and wishes helps to build a better life for those who are disabled.  I encourage all of those who are inspired by his testament to donate to this very worthy cause.

All the best, Mark

Honored to support the mission of the Karim Slaoui Fund. The fact that Karim initiated this mission while suffering from his disease speaks volumes for what a stellar human being Karim was. His positive impact on the world will continue.

I have worked with Moncef and while I did not know Karim, he was clearly an amazing young man whose life was too short. May this donation and others to follow make a real impact in the way that Karim wished.

I am moved by Karim's story, and am inspired by people who find ways to do good things in this world.

A beautiful and important  initiative that raises awareness to the needs of people impacted by limited mobility.

I want to honor Karim's memory and contribute to helping other with mobility challenges

I am honored to contribute to this inspirational memorialization of Karim. 

Promoting more innovation and entrepreneurship to help address the challenges faced by wheelchair users.

Karim Slaoui was born in Belgium in 1987. After a thesis in applied mathematics to forecast the impact of tsunamis on the coastline, he launched Take Eat Easy, a food delivery company by bicycle, pioneering in South Europe. Next, he started the venture Cowboy, promoting urban cycling.
Karim was driven by optimism and innovation.

Karim was obsessed with ‘equality of opportunities’. He encouraged youngsters to be ambitious and to follow their dreams while pursuing an engineering degree. He was also involved in charities dedicated to help underprivileged teenagers in France to choose wisely for their future. With his Moroccan name, he faced prejudices and he was determined to change biased mindsets.

In 2018 Karim wanted to run a marathon but had something odd in the knee. By the end of the year, he was diagnosed with a synovial sarcoma. After 5 years of experimental treatment in 3 different countries, surgeries, and other fights, he became paralyzed because of a metastatic tumor in his spine. He lost the ability to walk and to move from the chest down.


His wife Aurore Balsan and he discovered the lack of innovation in addressing the challenges faced by wheelchair users. Before his death on September 29th 2023, Aurore Balsan, his wife, and Moncef Slaoui, his father, committed to pursue his dream and vision of promoting more innovation and entrepreneurship to help address the challenges faced by wheelchair users.
