- Probabl
Led · Seed · Oct 2025
Founded in 2023 as an Inria spin-out, Probabl develops an open-source platform that lets data scientists inspect model assumptions, quantify uncertainty, and deploy probabilistic forecasts with scikit-learn familiarity. The company complements its free tooling with Skore, a premium product that adds version control, monitoring, optimisation, and other lifecycle-management features for enterprise data-science teams; Skore is currently in pilot testing with select clients. Probabl positions itself as a transparent, customisable bridge between academic research and production-grade AI systems, leveraging its founders’ deep involvement in the core scikit-learn project. Recent funding will be used to expand engineering and product headcount across Europe, improve real-time forecasting accuracy and interpretability, and grow the user community through training and certification programmes. The company also plans to evolve Skore into a comprehensive ML lifecycle management suite aimed at large enterprises. To date, Probabl has raised approximately €18.5 million in total funding.
- Goodvest
Led · Series B · Sep 2025
Founded in 2020 by Joseph Choueifaty, Antoine Bénéteau, and Aurore Pinon-Jacques, Goodvest positions itself as the first fintech to offer investment solutions fully aligned with the Paris Agreement. Its product suite spans life insurance (including children’s policies), retirement savings plans, savings accounts, and private equity, all designed to exclude exposure to fossil fuels, tobacco, and companies breaching the UN Global Compact. Goodvest’s transparent methodology was enhanced in 2024 to integrate biodiversity impact, and a 2024 Reclaim Finance study ranked its Goodvie life insurance as the least exposed to fossil fuels. Since launch, the company estimates its portfolios have avoided more than 100,000 tons of CO₂e while allowing savers to customise allocations based on personal preferences. Partnerships with impact-focused players such as Helios, Sycomore, and CFCAL-Banque (Crédit Mutuel Arkéa) bolster its product distribution and credibility. Retail investor demand for ESG solutions underpins Goodvest’s growth ambitions, and the firm is now scaling a private wealth management service introduced in the spring. The newly raised capital will support product expansion, additional partnerships, and targeted hiring to consolidate its leadership in responsible savings.
