Beyond venture building

Most organisations invest in companies. Others incubate ideas. We build ecosystems.

Ctrl+Alt+Create brings together entrepreneurs, operators, experts, investors and institutions to create platforms that generate lasting economic, technological and societal value.

Group architecture

One hundred and thirty companies, one architecture.

A portfolio is not a group. The difference lies in what the companies share: the domain knowledge of a startup studio, the pooled capital and functions of a platform, the operating base of a city, and the synergies they build between themselves, from a shared client to a reused technology. Explore the entities of the group, branch by branch.

Strategic platforms

Six platforms, nine shared capabilities.

A company on its own has to rebuild everything. Inside the ecosystem, capital, innovation, artificial intelligence, back-office functions and intellectual property are already in place.

The platform bringing together the group's funding capabilities: fundraising, grants, minority investment and business turnaround.

Turnaround and recovery

The group's turnaround fund, formerly Reborn & Partners. It takes over and revives companies in difficulty along three lines: Restart Innovation for startups whose model needs redirecting, Reboot Retail for retail businesses, and Remote Board, which places experienced directors alongside companies under recovery. The aim is to preserve jobs and put the business back on a lasting footing.

Katalyst Hub

Talent acquisition and human resource management. The platform gives companies shared access to senior profiles and supports practices attentive to diversity, inclusion and sustainability.

Management, exploitation and valuation of the group's brands: licensing, partnerships, collaborations and derivative products. The platform negotiates rights, keeps brand identities coherent and looks for growth without eroding what makes each brand.

Kreativ'Kom

The group's consulting agency. It supports companies on communication and brand strategy, designs their materials, and helps startups set up their tools and grow their visibility, online and offline. Present in France, the United Kingdom and Lebanon.

Kaïro

Everything the group knows how to do, reachable from day one

Kaïro is the group's operating system. It is how a startup reaches the six shared platforms, the shared services, the experts, the technologies and the markets of the ecosystem, and how it steers its own growth with the same reference points as the others.

The six platformsFunding, talent, artificial intelligence, brands and IP, communication, innovation. One request, one contact, one answer.
The shared servicesWeb and app development, graphic design, legal, accounting, recruitment, offices. Thirty-three services a company neither builds nor outsources.
The group's marketsThe clients, partners and distribution channels of the other portfolio companies, and the sixteen hubs around the world.
Steering innovationSpotting, qualifying and advancing ideas with Ctrl+Alt+Innovate: technology scouting, experiments, transfers and research partnerships.
Steering its growthIts indicators, its reviews, its trade-offs, with the same reference points as the rest of the portfolio. Comparison becomes possible, and so does decision.
