Ternel leads Mercateam's €5M Series A round with ISAI and OSS Ventures! 🔥 

Founded in 2020 by Adrien Laurentin and Kévin ROUVIERE, Mercateam is a dedicated tool for a population that is poorly served by digital assets: blue-collar workers. At Ternel we believe that technology can improve the working environnement and must be inclusive. 

Mercateam is made up of several modules designed to simplify the monitoring of technical skills and planning management for plant operators. This solution enables employees to make the most of their skills throughout their carreers, and puts them back at the heart of industrial processes. 🏭 

This funding round will accelerate Mercateam's international deployment and R&D efforts. We are proud to support them in their ambitious project!

📢 What responsibilities does a VC firm have towards our society as a whole, our natural ecosystems, our unique, incredible planet?

We have some thoughts, and they've led us to a big change: We are becoming Ternel, focusing on the principles of the regenerative economy to revitalize the world of impact investing.

We're doing this because it's impossible to keep ignoring the challenges we're facing, including the overexploitation of our natural capital - biodiversity, resources, people.

With €150 million in assets under management and the goal of raising an additional fund of €120 million to invest in approximately 30 early-stage European companies, Ternel is committed to fostering models where positive impact and performance are mutually reinforcing—without compromises, with a holistic vision.

We will nurture nimble and ambitious startups dedicated to repairing our industries and our world. Entrepreneurs, we wholeheartedly pledge to focus on science, performance, and impact in order to pioneer a sustainable future together with you.

To achieve this, our team will draw on renewed commitments and ongoing values alignment with MAIF, as well as with Capital Croissance and its community of nearly 500 entrepreneurs and institutional partners.

For the betterment of our society and planet: may they both flourish, today and tomorrow.
The Ternel Team.
