  • Certificall

    Led · Seed · Oct 2025

    Founded in 2022 by insurtech specialists Guillaume Laurent and Nicolas Chabauty, Certificall delivers a platform that guarantees the probative value of photos and videos used in claims and industrial inspections. Its technology layers geolocation, a tamper-proof certificate, qualified time stamping, and an eIDAS-compliant signature seal so that every item of evidence is legally valid across the EU. Generating a certified report takes about 90 seconds on average, and the company says it has already processed more than 3 million photos. By positioning itself as a trusted third party ahead of the EU’s planned 80 percent adoption of digital identity wallets by 2030, Certificall aims to become the reference provider of compliant digital proof for document-sensitive sectors. Surging generative AI-enabled fraud—which cost French P&C insurers an estimated €902 million in 2024—underscores the need for its solution. The newly raised capital will fund further technology development and accelerate commercial expansion throughout Europe. Aside from the €1 million seed round, no additional financial metrics have been disclosed.

  • Abby

    Led · Equity · Sep 2025

    Abby offers freelancers and other self-employed professionals a single platform for electronic invoicing, online payments, project management, Urssaf declarations and bookkeeping. Built by former independents, the product promises to save users up to five hours a week, €500 a year and cut late payments by 30 %. The company already serves 100,000 French freelancers, holds the official status of Plateforme Agréée for upcoming e-invoicing mandates, and enjoys a 4.9/5 satisfaction score from more than 1,500 reviews. Fresh capital will fund a Paris office and the doubling of headcount from 20 to 40 across product, tech, customer experience and marketing. Management targets 300,000 users by 2027 while positioning Abby as the de-facto operating system for independents. Long-term, the team intends to keep expanding functionality so users can replace multiple disparate tools with a single compliant workflow.
