What we bring

Targeted support - strategic, operational, and human - to help founders scale

A 360° acceleration to quickly transform reality

Transforming the economy: this requires funds, but not only. Entrepreneurs must be strongly supported in a variety of ways.

Human capital

We help founders build a dream team that makes their vision possible and alive.

Relationship capital

Relentlessly, we connect the startups we accelerate with customers, partners, investors, and mentors. Success is getting to the right person at the right time.

Intellectual capital

Building a large-scale business does not only require a good product; you also need to set up a scalable organization, a powerful go-to-market, effective finances, efficient sales teams.

Trust capital

Major transformations require an enterprise-investor partnership based on transparency, patience, mutual demand and support in good times and bad.

ADDED VALUE

Our scaling Playbook

Much more than an investor, we are growth partners. We provide supported startups with a structured method, targeted expertise and a network that can be mobilized at each key stage of their development.

Strategy, business model  & offer design

Work on the fundamentals: value proposition, target and cost of execution.
The objective: to build a viable and scalable economic model, adapted to the specificities of an impact project. This involves a detailed analysis of the market, sales cycles, entry barriers and coherence between mission and revenue.

Financing, raising & cash management

A solid funding strategy makes the difference between slowing down and accelerating. We support the preparation of fundraising, the choice of the right vehicles (equity, debt, grants) and the optimization of cash flow.
Objective : secure resources at the right time, without loss of control or dependence.

Internationalization

Develop a European or international expansion strategy, taking into account market, regulatory and cultural specificities.  This includes adapting the offer, identifying the first customers and local partners, as well as structuring operations in new territories.  All with a gradual, documented and realistic approach.

Sales, marketing
& Go-to-Market

Define an acquisition strategy adapted to the stage of the project and its resources. Work on the positioning, the message, the first commercial tools and the acquisition channels. Purpose : to create a clear, measurable dynamic that is aligned with the sector's sales cycle.

Leadership, organization
& recruitment

Structuring an organization capable of absorbing growth is a lever that is often underestimated.
Support the recruitment of key profiles, clarify roles, support management and develop an aligned team culture.

Impact measurement

Building an impact strategy is more than reporting. The aim is to define relevant indicators, to link them to the climate trajectory and to set up management useful for decision-making. Good monitoring reinforces credibility and fuels demanding governance.
