  • Virvolt

    Participated · Equity · Apr 2026

    Virvolt designs and produces motorisation systems for electric bicycles. The company positions its products as a sustainable, local and open alternative to closed, imported and obsolete systems dominating the market. Following this fundraising, Virvolt plans to accelerate industrialization in France and relocalize production. It also intends to expand its existing European network of roughly 400 partner workshops. The company has received public backing from ADEME as a laureate of the "Industries du vélo (France 2030)" call for projects. Recent financing of €3 million provides capital to scale manufacturing and distribution to meet growing demand.

    Participated · Equity · Apr 2024

    TerriFlux develops software for physical accounting that enables clients to master material flows, drawing on ten years of research at Inria. Its product suite includes OpenSankey for creating Sankey diagrams, plus platforms and tools for tracking flows and visualizing their magnitude. The company also offers services such as flow analysis, client support, and training. TerriFlux targets strategic regional sectors including the wood sector (and ONF), biomass, and the pork industry, while noting applicability to energy, economic flows and other domains. Founded in 2021 and based in Isère, the company benefited from 15 months of incubation at Inria's startup studio. At the end of 2023 it converted to a Scop, making its six employees shareholders, and it has raised funds to accelerate deployment into new sectors.
