HEC Paris Startup Launchpad

We make it happen, they make it big! ✨ Who better to talk about the Launchpad than our alumni? We asked Jules Prétot, a 2023 alumnus of the Launchpad, to share his thoughts on the program and his journey launching Redesk. Redesk takes on a challenge of scale: 250,000 tonnes of #OfficeFurniture are discarded annually in France. By 2030, they aim to prevent 2,500 tonnes of waste through their innovative "office furniture agent." Offering companies a turnkey solution to revalorise unused furniture and access refurbished pieces at 50% of the price of new, Redesk combines sustainability with practicality for every office move. 🌱💼 Ready to make your office furniture part of the solution?
