🌍 A quick flash back to France Digitale's #Impact Day yesterday afternoon at Aircall's offices ! Our Founding Partner, Thierry Vandewalle, was honored to take part in a dynamic roundtable discussion moderated by Jérôme Masurel of 50 Partners on the theme: “Quelles thèses d’investissement pour transformer la société ?” (Which investment theses can transform society?) One particular theme centered on a powerful idea: economic performance and climate adaptation can—and must—go hand in hand. Thierry highlighted that the climate adaptation solutions that we are financing at Wind aren’t just vital for the planet—they make strong business sense, too. Why? 1️⃣ The demand for solutions is urgent and growing. As the visible effects of climate change intensify, young engineers are increasingly turning their talents toward addressing these challenges. Startups are emerging to ensure essential industries, services, and infrastructure can literally weather the storm. ⚡️🏠 2️⃣ The opportunities for investors are immense. 🧳🤑 From ESG criteria to core market logic, investing in climate adaptation is no longer just about doing good—it’s about capitalizing on a necessary and profitable shift. 3️⃣ France needs more players in industrial deeptech. 🦾🤓 Wind is proud to be one of the few industrial deeptech VCs in Europe, but the magnitude of the challenge demands many more actors to enter this space and increasing public and private investing if we are to successfully built resilient infrastructures and industries while ensuring European independence and sovereignty. We were also inspired by the insights shared by fellow panelists: 👏Camille Richard (Alter Equity) and Nadia FILALI(Caisse des Dépôts) who added valuable perspectives on the growing impact landscape and underscored the importance of strong ESG practices, not just as a moral imperative but as a tool for ensuring long-term business resilience. A big thank you to France Digitale for the organisation, Jérôme, and all the panelists for such an inspiring conversation. It really is exciting to see a growing community of startups and investors committed to tackling the most pressing challenges of our time—and we’re thrilled to be part of shaping this ecosystem. 🌏 💚 Cc: 🙏 FD Stars: Laure de Clebsattel, Maurine Riou, Mathilde Dias✨

Platform economy - while tech companies are building their own veritcalized platforms, many existing "non tech" companies are entering the software ecosystem : - ability to value their own assets, based usually on long period of self usage and deep understanding of the fondamentals of the business ; - a huge existing customer base. Nevertheless, this type of approach is also a challenge : - moving from a custom software, well designed for its own business is not that easy to transform into a full platform for a diverse customer base ; - building a reliable roadmap requires investments and a change of mindset to a product oriented approach. It is key to onboard people and teams that are experienced in building and developing such roadmaps; IT service companies went also through this transformation : building solutions instead of providing only services - the change management is as challenging ! https://lnkd.in/eiTkew8y

I attended Engage Paris yesterday. What a refreshing event! Thank you Abigail Weitzenfeld, Chris Regester, Emmanuel Thiriez, Emmanuel Gerbier, Elliot Ghnassia, Souphaphone ORTEGA, Jerome Couzy, Benoit Parra, Beatrice Dussaucy Meimoun, Helena Joao, Marie Delattre, Sarah JEVREMOVIC, Julia Lacolle, Laurène Watrelot, Morgane Drai, Anne Gaillard, Adèle Hošek, Kristell C. for the inspiring presentations, insightful conversations and active participation to the CSM compensation plan workshop I facilitated. Key takeaways: ➡ While AI will take over repeatable tasks that CSMs are still doing, it will not ensure measurable results delivery to customers, at least not in a forseeable future, and that's where CSMs can and must make a huge difference. CSMs, time to move up the value chain! ➡ CS has been around for a while and can hardly still be called an emerging function; if CS is a function, but it's another discussion. However, the role of CS is still largely misunderstood, including by some C-Suite members, customers and sometimes by CSMs themselves. We need to continue to align internal and external stakeholders on rules of engagement, key touchpoints, playbooks, and customer journey mapping is still the best way to do it ➡ The time of great uncertainties and tighter budgets puts CS organizations under tremendous pressure and the entire industry seems to be at a make or break moment. So even though it's always been on the agenda, it's even more important now to prove our value 🔆 externally to customers by embracing constant and tangible customer outcomes delivery strategies 🔆 internally to our CEO, CFO, and board of directors by shifting post-sales organization from pure cost centers to growth engines. Expansion will take care of retention as Greg Daines always says 😉 ➡ Designing CSM comp. plans is daunting; there's no silver bullet, it's super time consuming, not to mention the explanation part of the job. But it can be a very efficient tool to drive CS organization transformation provided it's simple to understand, it reflects where you stand in your maturity journey, and it's constantly adjusted as you move along   Although it's not the right time yet to declare victory, I feel reassured to see that we're firing on all cylinders at EasyVista. Thank you so much Sue Nabeth Moore, Valentin Lejot, and Engage Paris team for having me and giving me the opportunity to contribute to strenghtening the French CS community and humbly helping the necessary cultural shift in our industry.

‘Le Chat’ ‘la platform’ Mistral AI artificial intelligence, France’s Startup Darling, Takes Aim at the US Market : Mistral's edge could come from customers that want to avoid being locked into particular cloud companies “Customers are even saying ‘Le Chat’ and ‘la platform’ It seems that the French touch is having an effect.” opportunity is huge — Bloomberg Intelligence estimated that the software and cloud market in generative AI market could reach $350 billion by 2032 : Mistral is going after OpenAI’s home turf “They do not want to be forced into an AI stack” “They want choices” Mistral released a series of AI models, which power generative AI services, and a ChatGPT-like feature called Le Chat : US manager says businesses are looking for alternatives to Big Tech : will find customers through these partners as well as via direct deals with companies using its open-source models. Open source is one of Mistral’s main selling points : the approach — where the underlying computer code is openly shared and tweakable — as a safer, more versatile method than closed systems offered by OpenAI and others : Mistral’s open-source models on-premises, with data stored in local servers instead of with public cloud providers ---- generative artificial intelligence ---

New job, and one simple question! I have been in the role of Sales Manager at Wavestone since 01.09.2024. Since then, I have gained a comprehensive picture of the company, my colleagues and the portfolio.   In many conversations, I gradually realized that I am in a very professional and customer-centric organization here (which I had hoped for before the engagement).   One question has come up a lot since then: "Michael what does your new company actually do?"   I would like to answer this question in the coming weeks. A few basics today.
