About Franck Seudio
Franck Seudio, whose full name is Franck Yvan Njonkou Seudio, is the founder of The Blacklune Club and of Blacklune Drive, two members-only communities built around access, relationships and elevated experiences.
The Blacklune Club is a private community for ambitious entrepreneurs, innovators and leaders who want to grow in business and in life. Franck built it around a simple idea: information about how to scale is easy to find, but access to the right rooms is not. Members join a vetted private network and take part in strategic masterminds and one-on-one strategy sessions. They receive introductions to potential partners, collaborators and capital partners, and are invited to curated experiences such as intimate mastermind dinners, business intensives and retreats.
His Story
Franck Seudio was staying with family in Maryland when, one winter night, he came home late and found the door shut, with his clothes still inside. With nowhere to go, he spent nights at the Metro station next to the building and still showed up to class the next morning in the same clothes. He borrowed money from friends for a room for the night, then rented a single room and worked as a CVS pharmacy technician to keep going.
After starting at Montgomery College in 2018, he went on to study psychology at UMBC until 2020, when money forced him to pause. He drove for Uber and slept on an air mattress. Through all of it, one thought kept him moving: this year is better than last year, regardless.
What turned things around was telling the truth. In 2020, Franck started sharing his story on social media, and the audience that grew around it became his first business: a hoodie brand he opened for pre-orders before he owned a printer, then printed order by order in his own living room. That led to social media consulting, with one client flying him to Los Angeles every week.
From there he moved into business consulting. In 2021 he built a short-term rental business with partners, and in 2022 he moved to Miami, where he learned the systems behind scalable companies and taught them to other business owners. He kept seeing the same pattern. Talented people weren't short on potential. They were missing the right room.
In 2025, Franck launched The Blacklune Club in Los Angeles to build that room: a private, application-only community for entrepreneurs and professionals, with masterminds, strategy sessions and curated experiences in Los Angeles, Miami, New York and Palm Springs. Every member joins through a private interview call, because the people in the room matter as much as anything taught in it.
Franck founded The Blacklune Club in 2025. He started it after spending time in traditional networking clubs, which he felt too often encouraged comparison rather than empowerment. He wanted a room where founders could lead their industries, grow together and enjoy life while developing personally and professionally. That idea is reflected in the club's mission: "To create an ecosystem where ambitious individuals accelerate each other's growth through relationships, systems, opportunities, experiences, and strategic access."
His interest in supercars dates back to childhood. Over the years he built relationships in the car and luxury-lifestyle communities of Los Angeles and Miami, and that led him to launch Blacklune Drive, a members-only brand for luxury and exotic car owners. Blacklune Drive members take part in curated social events, private city drives, meetings with industry professionals and villa stays in Los Angeles and Miami.
Franck has been profiled in The Wall Street Times and US Insider. He has also shared his personal story on the Straight Talk (No Sugar Added) podcast with Neena Perez, in Episode 375, "From Homeless to High Achiever: Franck's Journey of Resilience."
Today Franck leads The Blacklune Club from Los Angeles. The club hosts member experiences in cities including Los Angeles, Miami, New York and Palm Springs.
