Discover the 5 fastest growing FrenchTech startups
Summary
Céline Lazorthes, its CEO, founded Leetchi at the end of 2009 and has since developed the company through impressive partnerships (for instance with Amazon) and through the launch of Mangopay, a payment solution for startups. They handle logos, web-design, prints etc for clients by playing the role of the intermediary between them and a community of 500,000 creative talents – thus differentiating themselves from Behance or Dribbble. The 2009-born startup won the Public Vote for Tech 5, which made Yann Raoul, founder of Kellbillet, very happy: “This new European fame is coming at the right time: we are planning on launching our service across Europe before the end of the year”. Previously “Doodoo” and co-founded by Emmanuel Françoise and Katherine Zymla, Uplike is the living proof than you can still create social apps today. Originally inspired by Evernote, the app is today rather a mix of Pinterest and Instagram – it’s a pictures / links / video sharing platform based on user-generated content and not curation.
