A word
from the founder

Our year spent at the Paris-Dauphine Incubator was the first springboard we needed for Cokpit! A great team for coaching and support, a challenging mentor who listens, a spirit of mutual aid with the other startups and access to great financing: €70k via the PIA (Paris Innovation Amorçage) and the “Prêt d’honneur” (loan of honour)!

A little bit
of history

We met on the benches of the University of Paris-Dauphine 10 years ago! 

After two careers in large groups in business development and marketing, we both noticed that some of the “top profiles” we knew were retiring and wanted to continue working part-time and pass on their experience. However, there was no solution that met their different expectations: 

– To invest in projects that make sense; 

– Passing on their experience; 

– To keep a social link; 

– To have a supplementary income. 

Next to that, 75% of VSE-SME managers express the need for more and better support. They value expert and immediately operational profiles, the flexibility of the support and the cost. 

We thought we should bring them together in the best possible conditions!
