When did Founders Future really make a difference for you?
Founders Future has been with us since 2021, and moments when they made a difference, we have experienced dozens and dozens of them. But if I had to remember only one, it would be end of 2022. At that moment, we are witnessing a sudden turnaround: the very positive cycle of startups with a lot of money on the financial markets dries up suddenly. The entire ecosystem, until now focused on growth, suddenly focuses on the profitability.
Founders Future saw it coming before anyone else. Marc Ménasé sent a letter to all the companies in its portfolio to warn them that it was going to be necessary tighten the screw and anticipating this new cycle before being forced to take drastic measures. Marc has us driven to react quickly, so as not to find ourselves in trouble, but he also encouraged us to see the opportunity in this situation. He used a phrase from Ayrton Senna which impressed us a lot with Thomas: “You can't pass 15 cars on a sunny day, but you can in the rain.” This image has us galvanized in this difficult period for a lot of startups. We said to each other: it is our opportunity. The opportunity to be better than the other boxes and to take advantage of this moment to make real differences. In short, Founders Future was visionary, reactive and decisive to enable us to transform a challenge into an opportunity.
If Founders Future were an animal, what would it be and why?
Si Founders Future had to be an animal, it would undoubtedly be a fox.
Why? Because the fox is an animal nimble and malignant, and I think that's a perfect description for Founders Future.
Smart because he is an ally who knows how to navigate complex situations with intelligence and agility. But Above all it is a street smart partner, which is not lost in theory but which gives actionable advice and concrete, always one step ahead.
In short, Founders Future, is like the fox: cunning, lively and always there to help us find the right path.
