Crowdaa is a French app‑building platform founded by Vigile Hoareau and Jimmy Thomas that aims to let non-developers—especially creators and professional communities—publish mobile apps with minimal technical overhead. The product offers a full‑stack, drag‑and‑drop interface and integrated tools for legal and compliance, and it automates build, deployment and store submission (apps can reach Apple TestFlight within ~20 minutes). Customers cited include sports teams, organizations and political parties, and the company plans to expand to filmmakers and music labels. Crowdaa announced a €1.2M seed raise and will use proceeds to expand sales and marketing, grow its presence in France and launch in the U.S. in the coming weeks. It is also building an AI chatbox assistant to augment the platform. Founders said fundraising was challenging due to their Réunion origins, and accelerators such as the Nvidia Inception program helped the company through early stages.

Feelbat develops end‑to‑end IoT sensors and software to monitor structural issues and moisture in buildings, having previously launched miniature crack and wall‑tilt sensors. The company is finalizing a new Delta HM humidity sensor that measures wall moisture, ambient humidity, contact and air temperature, VOC index, atmospheric pressure and optional CO2, with Sigfox, LoRaWAN and Bluetooth connectivity. The Delta HM is planned for European commercial launch in September 2024 at an intended price below €200. Feelbat builds its hardware and software internally and is developing a more stable application with dedicated programs per use case, plus a pole and drone mounting to place crack sensors in hard‑to‑reach areas. The startup has sold more than 3,000 sensors since late 2021 and plans to beef up software, hardware and commercial teams, targeting about 20 employees by year‑end. It is also preparing an international push with a strategic focus on Asia in 2025.

Qwarry builds an advertising targeting solution that does not rely on cookies, using semantic data to insert ads based on the content a user consumes. The technology operates without collecting private identifiers such as age, sex, location, or email address. Founded in 2019 by Geoffrey Berthon and Julie Walther and based in Paris, the company positions its approach as compliant with tighter privacy regimes and an alternative to cookie-based targeting. Qwarry raised €2 million in its latest funding and plans to use the proceeds to open an R&D center in Caen. The startup intends to recruit 30 employees at the new center and to offer advertisers, publishers and media agencies access to Qwarry semantic data within their advertising tools. Management says the semantic approach enables real-time, content-driven ad insertion rather than targeting based on previously collected user data.
