Founded in 2021, Slash Intérim has built a technology-enabled network of 100 independent recruiters who place temporary workers, adopting a mandate system similar to that used by property agents. Uniquely, 80 % of these recruiters come from outside the staffing or HR industry, which the company pitches as a form of “social innovation.” The La Roche-sur-Yon–based startup supplies the digital tools, compliance framework and client portfolio so anyone can source, vet and place interim talent. Management’s five-year goal is to multiply the network ten-fold, reaching roughly 1,000 independent recruiters. To finance this expansion, the company has just secured €6 million in new funding, supplementing an earlier capital injection made in 2023. While revenue figures were not disclosed, the fresh capital underscores strong investor confidence in Slash Intérim’s asset-light, marketplace model and aggressive growth plans.

Cycloid builds a platform engineering product that provides a user-friendly self-service portal for interacting with infrastructure and automation. Its platform lets platform teams define service catalogs, roles, and permissions to streamline project deployment and management. Cycloid says its portal can be up and running in just a few weeks, enabling non-experts to access infrastructure and automation without becoming DevOps or cloud specialists. The company positions platform engineering as a way to centralize access to apps, automation, deployment, documentation, cloud, security, FinOps and GreenOps while reducing operational overhead. Cycloid will use the new funding to strengthen its position in Europe and to support expansion into North America. Following the Series A the company has raised a total of €8M, and founder Benjamin Brial framed the product as helping to transform more sustainable long-term use of cloud and DevOps practices.

Phocea DC is developing a 100% French, eco-responsible data center in Marseille focused on proximity to submarine cables and reduced carbon footprint.

Initial capacity will offer 1.2 megawatts available, with a possible second tranche of equipment depending on demand. Phocea DC targets compliance with forthcoming European carbon-neutral rules for data centers and aims for a PUE of about 1.2, below the future 1.3 threshold.
