Can you introduce FEVE?
We are three founders (Marc Batty, Simon Bestel and Vincent Kraus) who have each already started a company in the past (Dataiku, Promus and Senioradom) and we found ourselves in 2020 with a common goal: to accelerate the agro-ecological transition. As half of France’s farmers will retire in the next 10 years, we decided to focus on enabling and encouraging new farmers to set up more sustainable and environmentally friendly farming projects.
Today we have 15 employees with a main office in Bordeaux where the company is located and a few people in Toulouse and Paris.
