- Skydrone Robotics
Participated · Equity · Feb 2026
Skydrone Robotics is a La Rochelle–based drone manufacturer that has evolved over the past decade from a start-up into a small industrial SME focused on both civil and military applications. Its aircraft are tailored for logistics missions such as transporting supplies for armed forces and performing inspection work on electrical power lines. The company currently employs about 20 people—three-quarters of whom are engineers—and is hiring 10 additional staff to support expansion. Fresh capital will finance a new 2,000 m² plant capable of assembling several hundred drones per year, marking a shift from prototyping to scaled production. Management’s stated ambition is to become a leading player in the European civil-military drone market. Besides ramping manufacturing, funds will also bolster R&D and operational capacity to meet growing demand.
- Fluiidd
Participated · Equity · Nov 2025
Fluiidd, a deep-tech spin-off from the French Commissariat à l’énergie atomique et aux énergies alternatives (CEA) and based in La Ciotat, builds and markets an intelligent scanner that uncovers and anticipates otherwise invisible defects in pipes. The product combines proprietary sensors with predictive artificial-intelligence algorithms to flag upcoming failures before they occur. Following its first fund-raise, the company plans to scale its marketing and sales teams to speed up commercial rollout both across France and internationally. Funds will also support continued R&D aimed at enriching the scanner’s predictive capabilities and industrialising the production of its smart sensors. Although no revenue or user figures were disclosed, management positions the technology as a preventive-maintenance tool for industrial clients, addressing costly unplanned shutdowns. The company’s current focus is on market penetration and product industrialisation, backed by new capital from regional and angel investors.
