💡 7,5€ Billion (with a B). That’s the annual amount the French state provides to innovative companies through just one program: the CIR (Crédit d'Impôt Recherche). As an entrepreneur, my companies have been fortunate beneficiaries! But did you know that beyond the CIR, there are also: CII, JEI, JEA, BPI, CIMA, CICE, ACCRE, ACRE, FSE, ANR, FUI, PGE, FSN, PIA, FISAC, PTZ, FCTVA, AIF, and 1,753 other official grants and subsidies available? Combined, they represent well over €20 billion annually in funding for businesses. 😢 The catch (number 1)? Accessing these funds is often a bureaucratic nightmare. This is where agencies step in—offering to handle the process but taking a significant cut in return. 🚀 Enter REKI. We’ve developed the first software platform designed to simplify access to these subsidies. With Reki, companies can: 🔍 Discover all eligible opportunities   📑 Automatically generate applications and required documents   💾 Manage and update key data for compliance REKI is led by a seasoned duo of non-dilutive funding experts: Cyril Fougères (ex-BPI and iii-financements) and Aurélien Sibiril (repeat CTO). If you are looking for non-dilutive fundings, simply complete for form on our website (link in comment) Go Meghan Regior Victor Gross Nic Touron Calliste Duru Quentin Le Gall Thibaud Elziere Amaury Sepulchre Quentin Nickmans 🥰 catch (number 2) France is not alone, most countries are doing the same and we are going after it too :)

WHO WANTS A McDonald's Big Mac Menu for 1 USD ? When you launch a #retail app such as KooulMaroc, and especially in the #food #delivery space, with the objective of promoting it, and getting #downloads and #orders, and you don’t have a deep pocket to lose #money for years .. you are facing this critical question : Where should I put my #marketing budget ? 4 options come to me : 1 - full budget on offline ads 2 - full budget on online ads 3 - mixed budget on both with nice promotions 4 - 0 budget on both and full budget on #promotions to propose the lowest products #prices possible and EVER to users Then I started to ask myself whether my marketing budget should go to Meta / TikTok / YouTube or benefit to my #customers 🤔🧐 USE CASE : Let’s say the first target for our startup would be to have 1% market share on food delivery in the 5 big Moroccan cities, that might actually do around 1,000,000 orders a month i.e very first target would be 10,000 orders a month for KooulMaroc. With only 50,000 usd monthly marketing budget, I can offer 10,000 McDonald's #bigmac menus or TACOS DE LYON #steakhouse menus at 1 usd each.. do you think I would need any #ads with this offer to get the needed virality ? It doesn’t change my 10% comission on the public price .. doesn’t change the restaurant agreed profitability on KooulMaroc orders, doesn’t change delivery cost for Kooul deliverers .. the only thing that changes is that my customer benefits from 100% of my #marketing budget .. I am not saying this is a sustainable solution but when you’re small, facing the big, how should you tackle your launch, from downloads to conversion, activation and retention without following the general & costly path of digital marketing …? PS : With only 35,000 usd monthly marketing budget, I can offer #for #free 10,000 menus of any Moroccan restaurant that has a Menu public price of 3.5 usd or less ….#Aladdin KFC #snackorange #burgerlesdaltons #latelierduboucher Burger King® Maroc - General First Food Services and many others … BELOW THE POTENTIAL MENU PRICES IF 100% OF MY MARKETING BUDGET GOES TO CUSTOMERS …FOOD FOR THOUGHT E-Morocco for everyone 🇲🇦🇲🇦 Support Moroccan Tech, Be & Download Kooul https://lnkd.in/eb9vu24g ORA TECHNOLOGIES

A recent report by Institut Montaigne highlights an important reality: despite France's strong technological position, we currently represent only 3% of the global quantum market... With just 5 startups in a world of 85, we are lagging in commercializing “end-to-end” quantum solutions. As we move into the next phase of our national quantum strategy, we must transform our technological advances into commercial successes. 🤝 At Pasqal, we believe in the potential of quantum computing to disrupt industries, from pharma and chemistry to manufacturing, energy, and finance. We are already building the quantum reality alongside key industry players EDF Thales CMA CGM Airbus BMW Group aramco This is a strategic turning point that could redefine the global competitive landscape. ⚛️ The report outlines key recommendations to bridge the gap, including strategic investments in quantum computing, sensors, and communications, which are critical for positioning France at the forefront of this emerging market. I encourage everyone in the quantum community and beyond to read this insightful analysis by Institut Montaigne. #QuantumComputing #Innovation #Technology #Deeptech #Business

“It took us 10 years to build the company and 50 days, DD included, to sell it and close the deal. I recently sat with Proxyclick co-founder Geoffroy De Cooman who developed the Saas into a global leader in visitor management solutions. We talked about the slow start and the many pivots, followed by rapid scaling - and ultimately a succesful exit to leading tech investor Thoma Bravo owned Condeco. A few things I took away from the conversation: 1 In global Saas the market dictates fundraising - Some founders believe they can time fundraising or minimise dilution, but in "winner-takes-all" markets fundraising is hardly optional when not raising means losing out. 2 The best founders will run a due diligence on their investors - VC funding comes with many strings attached, which is why the founders called every single investment made by his series B investor before signing the term sheet. 3 “It takes 10 years to build a company and 50 days to sell it” - In fast moving software with professional & specialised buyers one-on-one transactions can go fast. A strong team will make all the difference closing the deal. 4 Negotiation has moved away from the boardroom table - Proxyclick's founders chose to have their Series B investor negotiate the final points in the sale. Almost all of this was done through whats app. A link to the full conversation can be found in the comments below.

🚀 Attending @VivaTech, it's always a feast for the eyes (and ears 😅). With Olivier Mathiot we discussed the development of Back Market 10 years later. Challenging panel title... : "BUILDING A RESPONSIBLE STARTUP!" *🔍 How did it start ?* Working for Neteven I discovered the passion and expertise of refurbishers and got mind-blown by the potential for giving tech a second life. The car market was already doing it... why not extending this philosophy to #Tech products ? That's where Quentin Le Brouster and Vianney Vaute were crazy enough to take part in this incredible adventure as co-founders. Ten years later, millions of people joined the refurbishing revolution. We are in 18 countries. 🌎 Our #impact is getting global. And we operate with an amazing team of 700 Back Makers. Our scale, market depth, and quality-price algorithm promote responsible tech use for over 10 million consumers, supporting refurbishers worldwide. "Small is beautiful," but "big is useful" when aiming for change. *🎢 Highs and lows... are part of the journey* Starting from scratch meant : - Building Trust: Ten years ago, refurbishing was unknown. We aimed to create more than a trusted brand: a movement. - Changing Perceptions: Proving that second-hand isn't second-best but the best option was a challenge. We wanted to turn skeptics into advocates. - Diversity: A diverse and inclusive team drives innovation and creativity. That is the focus of our recruitment strategy. I think about those who were part of this journey. They built what Back Market is today. A force for good. And we want to keep it that way moving forward. *🧐 Asked by Olivier what were my tips for Entrepreneurs...* - Make sure your business is impactful by design. Really. Don’t fake it. - Make sure to surround yourself with great people with skills that you don’t have. trust them then. Starting with your business associates. Complementary backgrounds are key to make the magic happen. And make sure they are fun or you will get bored😅 #VivaTech #BackMarket #Sustainability #Entrepreneurship #GlobalImpact #TechInnovation

🚀 How’s French Tech Doing in 2024? | Insights from the latest France Digitale x EY Barometer Reposted from: Joseph Landauer On September 11, 2024, France Digitale and EY released their annual report, and despite the tough economic climate, there’s plenty to be proud of! French startups are proving they’re ready to face the challenges head-on. Here are five key takeaways: 1️⃣ 15,000 startups are thriving in France, with 3,500 new ones launched in just the past year! So, who said French Tech was slowing down? 2️⃣ 1.3 million jobs created by these startups. Yes, you read that right. While hiring may slow down in 2024, we’re still pushing forward 💪. 3️⃣ Funding crunch: Big deals are happening, but smaller rounds are struggling. VCs are searching for ways to keep the ecosystem thriving. 4️⃣ Global reach: French startups are expanding fast, with 27% revenue growth internationally. Europe is our playground 🌍. 5️⃣ AI dominance: Whether it’s internal tools or product offerings, AI is everywhere. But competition with global giants is fierce 🤖. So, what’s next? French Tech is holding strong, but continued support from policymakers is crucial for future success. Innovation, taxation, and European regulations will be pivotal in the coming years. A big thank you to France Digitale and EY for this report! 🙏 Looking forward to seeing many of you at #FDDAY on September 18. Let’s keep pushing boundaries! 🙌 #FrenchTech #Innovation #Startups

💥 Linkup annonces a 3M€ funding round to plug LLMs to high-quality content.    Much like the music industry before Spotify, AI applications today face hurdles in accessing quality content. In the early 2000s, people often turned to platforms like Pirate Bay to download music, but that came with legal risks, poor sound quality, and artists missing out on fair compensation. Similarly, today many AI tools depend on existing web frameworks like search engines and web scraping to collect information.   However, as the AI landscape evolves, these methods are proving less efficient and raising new concerns around legal compliance and fair use of copyrighted content.   Linkup aims to solve this problem by taking a new approach with premium content providers with both a legal and ethical consideration.   Delighted to support this top-notch team Philippe Mizrahi, Denis Charrier, Boris Toledano alongside Seedcamp, Motier Ventures, Kima Ventures OPRTRS CLUB and amazing BAs ! cc Sia Houchangnia, Nicolas Essayan, Christophe Raynaud, Noé Gersanois, Chloe Timsit, Alix François-Poncet, Axeleo Capital (AXC)
