💡Did you know that 30-40％ of processed food is lost before it hits the market?! This alarming statistic contributes to the agricultural industry being responsible for nearly 25％ of global C02 emissions. Luckily, HUBCYCLE, a French start-up based in Avignon, has found a way to take this type of food waste and turn it into ingredients used in everyday cooking! 🥘 ♻️Founded by Julien Lesage in 2016, Hubcycle has not only decreased food waste through their molecular-based technology, but has simultaneously saved thousands of C02 emissions through this cutting-edge process. They are also one of the first companies in their field to operate with a Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI) certification. From vanilla extract to spices, refined sunflower oil and more, Hubcycle offers over 100 ingredients. These products are sold for 30％ less than standard ingredient prices, providing consumers a mindful way to reduce their carbon footprint and to increase personal savings. ➡️What’s next for the start-up? They are looking to expand their team to 100 employees, as they begin new partnerships beyond Europe. They are also focused to continue increasing their saved C02 emissions, projecting to avoid about 8,000 tonnes by the end of this year. Daphni is proud to be an investor of Hubcycle and shares their vision to reduce food waste and carbon emissions. In keeping sustainable practices at the forefront of our missions, together we will keep building da city for good! 💜 Special shoutout to Pierre-Eric Leibovici and Stanislas Lot of Daphni, and Sofiane Ammar, Laurence CHAMBAUD and Dominique Sylvain of Hubcycle. 

📢 10 million Euros allocated to associations and Dift (by Captain Cause) as new name 📢 Here are two major news from one of our portfolio companies, formerly Captain Cause! 👉🏼 You're probably wondering where the name DIFT comes from? It's a contraction of the words 'DONS' and ‘GIFT’, a name widely used by its corporate customers. Of course, a change of name also means a change of logo and a new advertising campaign, embodied here by Pascal Légitimus 🤣 More precisely, Dift is a platform that is revolutionizing corporate philanthropy. It enables companies to redirect their marketing budgets (loyalty, gifts) to social and environmental causes while involving their customers and employees. Over 300 companies, including Accor, FDJ - La Française des Jeux, BNP Paribas, Carrefour, ENGIE and Wonderbox, have already chosen Dift to give new meaning to their actions. Dift has decided to offer everyone the chance to create a personal account on the platform, enabling them to offer gifts to friends and family at festive events. So whether you're an individual or a company, you can join the Diftors community 💝

Throughout this month, daphni honors Octobre Rose (Pink October). This annual month-long campaign spreads awareness about breast cancer, as we remember those who have lost their lives to this disease, in addition to informing women about the resources available for detection. In France, breast cancer is the most common cancer among women, with 61,214 new cases in the mainland country last year, according to the French Institut National du Cancer (The National Institute of Cancer). As stated by the Institut National du Cancer, women in France between the ages of 50-74 years old are recommended to schedule a mammogram every two years. Women from ages 25-49 are encouraged to receive a clinical examination once a year from a general practitioner, gynecologist or midwife, regardless of risk level. Each of us at team daphni extend our solidarity to those battling this disease, and we encourage all women to set up a screening in relation to your age and as recommended by your physician. To echo the slogan of the Octobre Rose campaign… nous sommes « Plus fortes ensemble ! », we are “Stronger together!” 💗 For French residents who wish to learn more about making a screening appointment, please click here: https://lnkd.in/ezjRxX7z In solidarity, Team daphni

💻 L’IA générative est un outil essentiel et précieux dans notre société actuelle et d’autant plus lorsqu’il s’agit d’expérience client. Ce moyen nous aide plus précisément à comprendre en temps réel ce que recherche un client sur un site e-commerce, permet d’analyser les comportements d’achat, de sonder les clients pendant leur parcours et d’analyser très rapidement leur retour afin de personnaliser au mieux l’expérience client. C’est de cette thématique qu’ Alexandra Dubar, investor chez Daphni, a pu évoquer pour le média LSA. En effet, selon elle “L’hyperpersonnalisation est une solution face aux coûts d’acquisition client, qui ne cessent d’augmenter, et pour améliorer la rétention des consommateurs. Les marques doivent s’outiller pour offrir une expérience toujours plus qualitative. ». 👉 Si vous travailler sur ces sujets n'hésitez pas à nous contacter, on sera ravi de vous rencontrer !
