Last Friday, the Modulor Ventures family came together for our Autumn Summit 2024, a tradition that always fills us with pride and joy! 🎉🍂 During the first part of the event, each company within the Modulor group (Minimum.run, mendesaltaren, Nocodehackers, Tailor Hub) shared their key moments, achievements, and the most exciting updates from Q3. 🚀✨ But our Summit is about more than just numbers and data. It’s a space to reconnect and reaffirm the values that unite us as the Modulor family ❤️, while sharing our vision for the future. 🌟 These meetings help us align the group's objectives and move forward together in the same direction. ➡️ In the second part, each company had a more intimate session with their team 🤝, where we could answer questions and discuss the future and next steps. It was a perfect moment to strengthen personal and professional bonds. 💬👥 Of course, it wasn’t all business. We made time for fun too! 🎉 At Minimum, we organized a bingo game that brought lots of laughs 😄, especially for the winners, Carmen and Luzia, who took home the two prizes of the afternoon. 🎁🎉 The Autumn Summit reminds us that, as the Modulor family, we share a common vision and mutual commitment. 🙌 We’re excited for what’s ahead and the opportunities to keep growing together! 💪🚀 #Innovation #VentureBuilder #teamwork #culture

🦸🏻♀️ Announcing our $10M round led by Index Ventures feels like the perfect way to celebrate my 2nd anniversary at Hyperline Two years ago, on my first ‘official’ day, here’s what Hyperline looked like: → No name → No product → No team → No customers → One ambitious founder (Lucas Bédout) → A crystal-clear product vision → A strong conviction about the market → An investor bold enough to believe in it (Julia Andre) → And one motivated young woman crazy enough to join this early (yep, that’s me 😅) Fast forward to today, and everything’s changed. I’m incredibly proud of these two years spent with brilliant people -- learning, building, celebrating wins, and tackling challenges together. This new round, bringing our total seed funding to $14M, is led (again) by Index Ventures, with support from Adelie (Alexandre Berriche) and Anthony Danon. The momentum is clear: there’s a real need for a solution that makes revenue management so seamless finance teams don’t even have to think about it. Automating repetitive tasks, eliminating manual errors, saving time, and making cross-team collaboration effortless -- that’s what we’re building. Lucas, Clément -- you’re leading this journey with talent, focus, and just the right amount of good humor (bonus: this lavender background suits you well guys!!🪻).
