After 6 months of incubation, 10 entrepreneurs were able to present their projects to La Ruche’s partners on the closing day of the “Kick-off” program, at the Quai des Possibles de la Ruche in Saint-Germain-en-Laye .
“It’s a day to hand over the baton to the business ecosystem. The incubates were supported for 6 months so that their projects, at the idea stage, develop, go through phases of tests, workshops until sale ”, explains Fabien Canitrot, director of the Hive Saint-Germain-en-Laye.
The 10 entrepreneurs were selected during a boot camp phase from among 20 candidates, all of whom were far removed from employment. At the end of this selection and this pitch day, the entrepreneurs had 6 intense months, where every Tuesday and Thursday, with workshops, individual and professional meetings, personal development, digital support etc. “We have no criteria on the type of project and yet, they are all united, social and eco-responsible. It is extraordinary because it represents the values of La Ruche. “
Eco-responsible values
The various projects bring together eco-responsible values such as that of Aurélia Bré and Cap Bötanica. The young woman makes cosmetics without water with seasonal plants, from the short circuit and without added water. “The ingredients often come from far away, come from intensive agriculture. Water is overused when there is no benefit for the skin, explains Aurélia. The objectives are therefore environmental, social… ”A resident of Bel-Air for over 16 years, Faiza Saadan also participated in the program. His project: unsold goods. “These are good products, but not salable. When she discovered these products, which she collects through the associations Banlieue santé and Espoirs de femmes, she created a WhatsApp group of more than 200 people where she sold these products at a ridiculous price. She hopes to find a place to increase her stock of goods because she is currently selling from home. The young entrepreneurs are unanimous: “It was great and rewarding. “
