01 SORTIES
Sorties launched,
cohort forming
Only facts here: real data from sorties already launched, our statistics methodology, and the terms for first-cohort berths. No unauthorized case studies, no adjectives.
Entity formation and GDPR compliance audit completed within 4 months; moved into first-customer signing.
French regulatory framework mapped and localized contract system built.
Connected into the Lyon life-science cluster with local partners.
Public funding route assessed and application materials prepared.
French product launched with local channel pilots.
Plugged into Marseille port and logistics ecosystem partners.
Data compliance retrofit completed; entered PoC with French enterprises.
Paris local team built and first channel partnerships signed.
SAS formation and compliance file completed; French-localised product live in the French PropTech ecosystem, first B2B clients in progress.
The hard part was never the product — it was not knowing who to approach first. Within four months, incorporation, GDPR and first customer signatures were all done, and only then did growth really start.
GDPR, retention, tax filings — every one is a minefield. The legal team untangled the entire chain in one pass, and we could finally refocus on product and growth.
We had no idea about Bpifrance or EU-level funding routes. The team built our eligibility assessment and applications from scratch — worth far more than the time saved.
