When we launched Kinetix in 2020, we were one of the first companies exploring the transformative potential of GenAI in gaming, 3D content creation, and avatar animation. Fast forward to today, and we’re excited to see the French GenAI ecosystem explode, now boasting over 150 companies and raising $1.4B in just the last year. While foundational models like ours are pushing the boundaries across industries—spanning images, videos, 3D and more—our focus remains on revolutionizing user-generated content for gaming and animation. We believe the future of creativity lies at the intersection of technology and human expression, and we're proud to be at the forefront of that change. It’s been amazing to work alongside so many inspiring companies such as Aive, Scenario, Veesual, Hugging Face, Pimento, Enginn Technologies, Animaj and many others and we’re excited to continue breaking new ground, sparking innovation, and building the future together! 🚀 #GenAI #Gaming #ContentCreation #Kinetix #AI #Innovation #UserGeneratedContent #FrenchTech #Animation

Are French unicorns ready for their IPO? I'll say yes, and probably even a bit better than German startups! Let me tell you why. Most IPOs are driven by the CEO / CFO couple but there is a third important wheel to this constellation: the CMO! A big part of a successful IPO and then stock exchange valuation is communication. It's all about trust, baby! And trust is built through communication & thought leadership. French startups are often very strong in being transparent and proactive in their communications. So this is a solid basis to work on. Here are my learnings from working on KATEK GROUP's IPO: ‣ It's not all about the press: Yes, mandatory investor relations (IR) news have to be communicated through the press. By going further and also using your company's owned channels you show even more transparency to your stakeholders. Communicating on LinkedIn will enable dialog with your investors. ‣ IR does not need to be boring: Financial reports might not sound as sexy as the next big brand campaign, but it can be. Use videos to explain the numbers further, plan live Q&A sessions with the CEO. Be creative and stay true to your brand's values. ‣ It's about the people: The stock exchange market is a numbers and money world. By involving your C-level in the communication you will be able to build up a stronger trust in your company. In people we trust! Here think about news hijacking to position your C-level as the experts they are, do video interviews or quote statements.

With AI companies being so young, there is little real expertise on how to grow them. This is why having Rajan lead the efforts at HyperGrowth Partners to launch our AI practice makes a ton of sense: he's one of the few with actual experience at growing an AI company (Cohere) in the past few years. So excited for this 🔥
