Alacrité France is a French startup studio (fabrique de jeunes pousses) founded in 2017 as the 6th generator within the global Alacrity ecosystem, orchestrated by Wesley Clover under the leadership of Sir Terry Matthews, a successful Anglo-Canadian serial entrepreneur. The studio replicates a unique and proven model that has been successfully implemented in several countries including Canada, United Kingdom, Turkey, and Mexico. Alacrité's primary mission is to create entrepreneurs before creating businesses. The studio identifies market needs through its industrial investors, partners, or future entrepreneurs themselves, then assembles custom-built teams of complementary profiles who work together for one year to transform these market needs into innovative companies. These team members are salaried during the entire development period within Alacrité, allowing them to focus 100% on their startup creation. The studio focuses on SaaS software solutions with strong technological components, often integrating Artificial Intelligence. After a one-year incubation period, projects are examined by Alacrité's Investment Committee, which decides whether to officially register the startup, provide seed capital alongside potential co-investors, and allocate equity shares to team members who become co-founders. From launch through acceleration phase, Alacrité remains heavily involved alongside co-founders, both at strategic and management levels, including fundraising support.
