We founded WinMinute with Henri Moché and Christophe Bou to seize the retail information crowdsourcing opportunity. Fast Up Partners provided an already developed prototype, offices, client leads and most of all support over time. We actually funded the company twice while most VC’s in this space where dropping their investment. It is now the fastest growing player in France.

Make.org emerged from Axel Dauchez‘s and Alicia Combaz‘s energy and talent to change the society we live in. Fast-Up Partners offered the craddle for the company to gather its first learning: lots of advice, but more importantly its very first offices, its very first growth hackers and, later actually, some bridge financing.

Seelk started as the e-commerce practice of Fast-Up Partners, as consulting clients were asking for support to sell on Amazon. We aligned our vision of a tech-powered Amazon consultancy with Benjamin Pipat and Raphael Guedj Pignol, provided the initial clients and funded the project. They further developed it into European leadership after we sold our stake to Webedia.

We bought Silea, the French leader in artificial flowers, which had gone through a distress phase. After a 4-month honeymoon where sales were booming, we entered a stress phase where some key clients went bankrupt, some suppliers asked for advance payment and exchange rates developed infavourably. We dissolved the company on month 11.
