#FutureMakers by La Mêlée and Diversidays: a big step forward for growing WePlante (already 2 years!)

🔗 Original LinkedIn post (in French)

✨ We're kicking off a year of #acceleration for WePlante! At the end of June, we had the chance to launch our #FutureMakers journey and join the #DiversiFamily.

On the agenda:

Meeting with the entire cohort and the organizing team
Tour of SEPTEO’s offices
Inspiring discussions with our cohort sponsors: Hugues Galambrun (CEO of Septeo) and Mounir Mahjoubi Jozefowicz (former Secretary of State for Digital Affairs)

A second highlight was meeting our mentors – a rare and valuable opportunity for the year ahead for WePlante and for me:

Amandine Raynaud, passionate entrepreneur and innovation marketing expert, as lead mentor
The privilege of occasional mentoring from Yannick Jassin and Nordine El Ouachmi

What amazing support, and so many years of experience to guide me through this new chapter!

🌿 What is WePlante at 2 years old?
We are a committed team working daily in Eastern Occitanie and Paris to make workplaces more sustainable and responsible, and to green our cities in response to urban heat islands.

Thanks to all of you, we have already:
✅ Won the Silver Award – Green & Smart Workplace 2025 at the Nuit du Future of Work (Républik Workplace)
✅ Achieved a public #impactscore of 77/100, our roadmap for both cities and companies (Mouvement Impact France)
✅ Earned the #LabelInitiativeRemarquable (Initiative France)

🌱 To support our vision, we’re developing several innovative tech modules to de-risk urban greening projects and maximize our positive impact around 5 SDGs.

🔥 This #EntrepreneuriatQuartier2030 accelerator is our third support program, following the #DiagAxeInnovation by Bpifrance and #TremplinÉcoconception by ADEME. A powerful momentum to take our vision and actions even further.

💚 Never without the #TeamWePlante:

Yann Guais & Nathalie Lerust – business development
Stéphane Dupont – strategy & communications
Sandrine Bereau – outsourced CFO
Solène Rose – eco-designed product design
Alexis Poulet – our master bamboo craftsman
Elizabet Kezheva – administrative assistant & bookkeeper

A big thank you to La Mêlée, Diversidays, SEPTEO, our sponsors, mentors, and all our partners for your trust. We're ready to #accelerate alongside this incredible cohort of #entrepreneurs!

📢 PS: We are currently in the pre-seed fundraising phase to take our vision even further and maximize our impact. 🌍
