Beyond venture building
Most organisations invest in companies.
Others incubate ideas. We build ecosystems.
Ctrl+Alt+Create brings together entrepreneurs, operators, experts, investors and institutions to create platforms that generate lasting economic, technological and societal value.

Group architecture
One hundred and thirty companies, one architecture.
A portfolio is not a group. The difference lies in what the companies share: the domain knowledge of a startup studio, the pooled capital and functions of a platform, the operating base of a city, and the synergies they build between themselves, from a shared client to a reused technology. Explore the entities of the group, branch by branch.

Startup studios
Five startup studios, five ways to build companies.
Each startup studio holds the domain knowledge of its field: methods, regulation, markets, partners and lessons learned. A venture belongs to the startup studio whose expertise genuinely shapes its architecture.
Inaya
Regulation shapes the model before the product does. Finance, telecommunications and insurance, where compliance is designed in from day one.
Solal
New markets, emerging technologies and economic diversification. Solal explores the opportunities that sit outside any specialised domain.
Limitless Education
Schools, platforms, certification and lifelong learning. The institutions and learning models that come next.
All Blue
Knowledge, stories and bookstore networks. Publishing, distribution, media and exploitation rights.
MAJE
Real estate as an asset and as a use. Acquisition, operations, valuation and PropTech.
Strategic platforms
Six platforms, nine shared capabilities.
A company on its own has to rebuild everything. Inside the ecosystem, capital, innovation, artificial intelligence, back-office functions and intellectual property are already in place.
Ctrl+Alt+Growth
The platform bringing together the group's funding capabilities: fundraising, grants, minority investment and business turnaround.
Ctrl+Alt+Raise
Investor search, round structuring, financial modelling and investor materials.
Ctrl+Alt+Grants
Funding strategy, application support and access to public funding.
Ctrl+Alt+Invest
Investment and valuation vehicle for minority stakes.
Ctrl+Alt+Reborn
The group's turnaround fund, formerly Reborn & Partners. It takes over and revives companies in difficulty along three lines: Restart Innovation for startups whose model needs redirecting, Reboot Retail for retail businesses, and Remote Board, which places experienced directors alongside companies under recovery. The aim is to preserve jobs and put the business back on a lasting footing.
Katalyst Hub
Talent acquisition and human resource management. The platform gives companies shared access to senior profiles and supports practices attentive to diversity, inclusion and sustainability.
Quixx.ai
An AI research and development hub and a platform of business solutions: process automation, predictive analysis, natural language processing, personalisation. It also provides data analysis tools, virtual assistants and internet of things solutions.
Ctrl+Alt+IP
Management, exploitation and valuation of the group's brands: licensing, partnerships, collaborations and derivative products. The platform negotiates rights, keeps brand identities coherent and looks for growth without eroding what makes each brand.
Kreativ'Kom
The group's consulting agency. It supports companies on communication and brand strategy, designs their materials, and helps startups set up their tools and grow their visibility, online and offline. Present in France, the United Kingdom and Lebanon.
Ctrl+Alt+Innovate
The platform connecting the group to global sources of innovation: startups, universities, laboratories, industry and institutional partners. It scouts emerging technologies, runs experiments and turns selected innovations into opportunities for the startup studios.
We are not looking for the next good idea. We have built the system that produces them.
Global presence

Insights
How we read venture building.
Ctrl+Alt+Create: why a venture studio rather than a fund
Investing in companies and building them are two different jobs. Here is why we chose the second, and what it changes in practice.
What regulation changes in the design of a company
In finance, telecoms and insurance, compliance does not arrive at the end. It decides the architecture on day one.
What a regional subsidiary carries
What a regional subsidiary decides, and what stays with the country
Leadership
The people who carry the group.
Ctrl+Alt+Create is led by entrepreneurs and operators who have built, grown and turned around companies across sectors and continents.
