Imagination Machine

🌱Imagination Machine is the impact startup studio: we're convinced that entrepreneurship can change the world, positively and on a big scale!
Together with entrepreneurs, we cofound, accelerate & finance high potential startups with positive social and environmental impact.

For each project, we provide the initial financing, activate our in-house operational team dedicated to the 0 to 1 process and mobilize the community, our network of partners.
Our DNA combines Silicon Valley ambition with a French touch!

Our studio develops projects across Europe. Since 2018, we have co-founded more than 10 start-ups: Beem, Les Mini Mondes, Smala, Jho, river home, UpTogether, Vite mon marché, Good Steps and BlueCare discovery, Prolong...

🌳Next goal? Build the next 10 impact champion startups by 2025.

Imagination Machine is looking for talented entrepreneurs to launch explorations, project leaders who want to scale up on their own assumptions, and top profiles to join our growing startups.

Our mission at Imagination Machine is to contribute, through our projects, to creating the world we want to live in; we're looking for idealistic, ambitious, talented and passionate entrepreneurs.

Our goal is to maximize the chances of success for our projects? To put together as quickly as possible the winning trio of "Idea ⇔ Talent ⇔ Scalability" to build startups with major impact.

Engineer, tech/product, designer, business,..., there's no "typical" co-founder profile with us! We're looking for someone with a keen entrepreneurial mindset (optimistic, willing to take risks, resilient) and a desire to change the world for the better. We require a minimum of 6 years' experience and/or initial entrepreneurial experience.

Our agile & user-focused methodology, inspired by design thinking, is based on condensed work cycles. It calls for agility, speed, determination and a good sense of collaboration.

📍Since January 2023, our new explorations have addressed issues as varied as "care & repair" in the textile industry, paramedical support for patients suffering from chronic diseases, everyday walking to combat sedentary lifestyles, etc. We publish new exploration opportunities on an ongoing basis, and are always on the lookout for talented entrepreneurs and top collaborators.

💡The expression that brings us together: Idealistic entrepreneurs!

Ambitious: we surround ourselves with talented and brilliant entrepreneurs because we have the ambition to move the indicators of the UN Sustainable Development Goals with our startups. We are looking for ambitious people to maximize our impact together!

People first: optimistic, determined, passionate, we choose our co-founders as much as they choose us 😉 Pioneering: we love new ideas, we want to put tech innovation at the service of impact, and we're ready to take on demanding, complex challenges to build a sustainable future.

Pragmatic: we are resolutely action-oriented. We can start, move fast, accelerate and dream big, if it's a key issue for the future.

Humility: we work with entrepreneurs capable of questioning their intuitions, listening to end-users and adapting to fully embrace the "user" point of view.

🌍 We work remotely! You can join Imagination Machine wherever you are. And we get together at least every 2 months to spend time together.

💚 The Imagination Machine community is large and strong: changing the world and launching your start-up won't be a lonely process 🙂
