Elevo 🤝 🖋

In 2016, former Y- Combinator alumni Etienne Le Scaon and Thibault Vilon launched Elevo, an annual subscription solution cloud allowing companies to transform their gruelling annual RH meetings into a friendly atmosphere. Their new technology displays continuous feedback and modernizes the follow-up of the employees, inspired by methods already popular at Google, GE or Accenture. With a 300% sales increase last year and useful resources such as RH guides on their website, they have already helped companies such as Aircall and Captain to scale up faster.

They target companies between 100 & 5000 employees (If if you are one of them, you know who to reach 😎).

Petit Côté 🥒 🥕

Rugby teammates Juliette Morel and Capucine Epagneau kicked off their company Petit Côté in 2018 when they were selected to compete in the contest « passez votre CAP pâtissier » by Michel & Augustin. After learning all the ropes there, they realized there was a lack of healthy snacks available on the biscuit market, either too rich in calories or nutritious but tasteless. Their solution? Petit Côté, cakes made of 40% of organic vegetables containing 3x less fat and 3x less sugar to enjoy dessert while keeping your health in check and respecting the environment. Inspired by cooking classics such as the carrot cake, their food revolution is starting to bear their fruits. The company was present at the last edition of Viva Tech summit in Paris and, April 2019, won the « C’demain » prize, which will allow them to be distributed in fifty Casino group supermarkets. This is the 6th startup contest the company have won this year.

Be cool as a cucumber and try them! 😋

Entoureo 👵🏻 🧓🏻

Firefighting in Marseille, Kevin Lamberton was stricken with the isolation that many elderly people suffer. This experience brought him to create with his friend Thomas Delage, Entoureo, a solution that enables a family to keep track of their history and reunite generations around unique convivial moments. Do you know in which village did your granny grew up? How did she meet grandpa? What did her parents do for a living? Kevin and Thomas help families answer these questions and many more by providing the Entoureo box containing a tie-clip to record the voice of your relatives and guides to discuss themes such as childhood or the spouse first encounter. The recording is then transcribed with a voice-to-text technology and gathered, laid out and printed by Entoureo in a book delivered to the client. Photographs can be added to the book and the final result is also saved on a web platform, « a digital fortress ». They were among the 10 winners of the 2019 « 100 jours pour entreprendre » where 120 startups were competing for the prize.
