Startup founded by two SKEMA alumni features in LinkedIn's top startups 2023 ranking
The startup "Le Fourgon," created by SKEMA alumni Maxime Tharin and Charles Christory (MSc Project and Programme Management & Business Development), has been recognised among the 20 most promising companies in France in LinkedIn's Top Startups 2023 ranking. This selection highlights the most dynamic tech startups in the country.
To compile its list, LinkedIn relies on its own exclusive database. With this top 20, the professional social network showcases startups that stand out for their innovation and dynamism. The ranking takes into account various criteria such as workforce growth, employee engagement, talent attraction, and interaction with the LinkedIn community.
What is Le Fourgon?
According to LinkedIn, Le Fourgon currently has 230 employees. Based in Wambrechies, in the suburbs near Lille, the company was founded in 2021. The company is hiring talents in various fields, particularly in digital, business management, and sales operations. The most common job titles within the startup are driver, operational unit manager, and web developer. The most represented functions are operations, sales, and support.
An ecological mission
Le Fourgon is reviving the tradition of the milkman's round by offering a delivery and collection service for deposit items such as beverages, groceries, and household products. All of this is done behind the wheel of 100% electric vans. The aim of this initiative is to reduce packaging waste associated with consumer goods.
Congratulations to Charles and Maxime!
