YPIK, the platform created by 2 Kedgers, supports and accelerates the development of high-potential startups, by promoting meaningful projects.

With an investment(minimum €200), you support innovation and employment, and capitalize on strong prospects for added value. What's more , you'll be eligible for income tax relief.

Invest in the future and contribute to the growth of an impact startup.

Mão Boa is the first startup financed on the YPIK platform. Co-founded by Maxime Marchand (KEDGE PGE 2012) and Marie-Alphie Dallest, it aims to inspire positive corporate change by encouraging employees to participate in their organization's social and environmental (CSR) projects. She was supported by KEDGE Entrepreneurship.

1️⃣ YPIK supports startups mostly created by KEDGE BS alumni

80% of the projects supported by YPIK are co-founded by KEDGE Business School alumni or accompanied by Kedge Entrepreneurship. It's a way of supporting new generations and giving them a better chance.

2️⃣ A circular concept for better shared value

The funds raised for each project are destined for the startup, and only a small percentage is allocated to the participatory finance company, which will transfer part of its fees to the KEDGE Alumni network, which will transfer 50% to the KEDGE Foundation for Responsible Management.

3️⃣ Respect for the environment and positive impact projects

YPIK has made the conscious choice to focus mainly on startups whose projects aim to create a positive impact.
