"Founders Factory's accelerator turned out to be a real leg-up for our business. We received mentorship from some of the best minds at Reckitt Benckiser (RB), and we're soon to launch a game-changing partnership with one of their household brands.

Not to mention how Founders Factory equipped us with the skills and know-how to scale our business into two new cities and hire our first team. "

Marie Chevrier, CEO & Founder

“Founders Factory was a critical part of our acceleration with L’Oreal; the team helped us position our solution in a way that would best align with the global needs of L’Oreal and worked with key stakeholders there to break corporate barriers that would have otherwise likely made it impossible for us to accelerate learnings and successes so quickly. This programme has continued to pay dividends since 2017. "

We got the chance to present our concept to decision-makers at M&S, L’Oreal and EasyJet among many others. Founders Factory is full of friendly experts that specialise in converting the potential energy of early-stage companies into kinetic success."
