We complement our core competencies with a wide network of seasoned experts from across the supply chain, allowing for a tailored approach and high level of flexibility for every project.
Shakeup Factory was conceived in 2015 to fill the gaps the founders had experienced firsthand in their careers: industry specific startup acceleration, corporate open innovation, and ecosystem building to foster collaboration.
Kevin and Nicolas were among the first believers in agrifood tech startups in France and helped launch early success stories Ynsect, Umiami & Soil Capital. In parallel, they were instrumental in pushing the industry’s historically siloed corporates to open their organisations to collaboration and working as a bridge among industry actors.
