OppChain

What OppChain does

Oppchain SAS is a Paris-based, founder-owned IT services firm founded in 2017 by Frédéric Michel (CEO) and Ulrich Nzuzi, structured as a Société par Actions Simplifiée with a declared €8,800 share capital and no external funding on record. The company operates two interrelated lines of business. The first is a Qualiopi-certified professional training catalog (NDA 11756328075) covering generative AI, ChatGPT, Copilot, AI for entrepreneurs, AI demystification, and n8n workflow automation, delivered online or on-site to French SMBs, SMEs and individual participants with OPCO financing eligibility for qualifying corporate buyers. The second is an advisory and custom development practice — Expertise IA, Expertise DATA, Audit Organisation, and the "Factory IA" — providing AI use-case audits, data governance, model optimization, and AI-augmented custom application development built on a React/Next.js, Node.js, TypeScript, PostgreSQL, Firebase, AWS/GCP, Docker and Kubernetes stack with auto-generated documentation and a "Reversibility by Design" anti-lock-in principle.

Revenue is generated primarily through professional services: per-session training (€300-€990 HT per participant, capped at 12 seats), project-based custom application development with a 30% deposit / balance-on-delivery billing structure, and AI consulting engagements sold on packaged or hourly bases. A supplementary recurring-revenue stream comes from BP Assistant, an AI-driven SaaS for business plan generation that is cross-sold from the Oppchain website via tracked affiliate links to bp-assistant.com. Go-to-market is sales-led and inside-sales driven: a public training catalog with self-serve booking sits alongside service-specific contact forms (formation, audit, conseil, data) and a multi-step qualification questionnaire for custom development projects. The company is positioned around ethical AI, digital sovereignty and EU data residency, with hosting handled via Google Cloud Platform (Firebase) in the EU.

The firm's full-time leadership and founder base is small (two named co-founders, firmographic headcount in the 11-50 band), and the customer base is described as unnamed French SMBs and SME leaders, with no large enterprise logos disclosed. There are no M&A events, no funding rounds, no subsidiaries, and no patents or trademarks on record, indicating a bootstrapped, founder-led operating profile.
