About

Phi-Anh Nguyen has nearly 30 years of experience in publishing. After working at Dorling Kindersley, Gallimard Jeunesse and Hachette, in Rights and Editorial, Phi-Anh became independent in 2008.

He created his first applications for the Publishing Industry in 2008: IDB for Foreign Rights, then for Royalty Reports. In 2016 all apps were completely re-written and are now 100% Web Apps: the beginning of the LaBase saga!

Our apps are intuitive, clear, easy-to-understand, but also powerful and complete. They were developed through long-term partnerships with our customers, and are designed for publishers and agents of all sizes. We happily develop in Ruby on Rails (the Framework behind Shopify, GitHub, Basecamp...)

Claire Hartmann has nearly 20 years of experience in publishing. After working at Naïve Éditions, Bayard and Le Seuil-La Martinière Jeunesse, in Editorial and Rights Sales, Claire joined LaBase Labs in 2019. She is in charge of customer relations and business development.

We are also Publishers' Agents (foreign rights and audiovisual rights), Authors' Agents (more info at La Petite Agence), and Consultants at Axiales.

We are based in Descartes, South Touraine, France, the birthplace of philosopher René Descartes, and the town where Laurent Mauvignier grew up. There are no coincidences!
