What is waiting for you on day one

A startup spends its first year searching: for a developer, a lawyer, funding, a first client, a legal framework in a country it does not know. Every search costs weeks, and those are the weeks when the idea was still ahead. We already have all of it.

Seven shared platforms

Funding, talent, artificial intelligence, brands and IP, communication, research and compliance, innovation.

Up to 100,000 dollars* of services

From web development to accounting, from legal to recruitment, from offices to audiovisual production.

The group's ecosystem

An ecosystem of more than 160 companies and 150 projects, and seventeen hubs around the world.

* or the equivalent in local currency.

The detail of the group's means, of the hundred thousand dollars of services and of the six-stage journey is on the You are building a startup page.

Who we are looking for

Full-time founders

We build with you. That means being full time on the project, or ready to be.

A real problem first

Tell us what is broken today, for whom, and what it costs them. The solution comes after.

An international market

Our studios work across several countries. A venture built for one local market will be better served elsewhere: we look for what travels.

An idea is enough

A solid idea and a credible founder are enough to start the conversation.
