INSKIP

What INSKIP does

INSKIP (legal entity SASU INSKIP, SIREN 825241789) is a French strategy and innovation consulting firm founded in 2017, headquartered at 77 Rue Saint Maur in Paris's 11th arrondissement, with offices in Casablanca and Dubai. The firm positions itself not as a traditional strategy consultancy but as an 'entrepreneurial task force' — deploying 35-50 core entrepreneur-consultants who have personally built and operated companies, supported by a mobilizable network of 500+ experts. Service lines span six interlocking pillars: Strategy (foresight, transformation, make-or-buy), Acceleration (new business design, go-to-market, spin-off support, intrapreneur coaching), Alliances (incubator/accelerator launch, joint ventures, sourcing), Funding (dilutive and non-dilutive fundraising), Training (intrapreneurship curriculum, including a Stanford-certified program), and program operation (212Founders for CDG Invest, Smart Incubateur for Région Île-de-France, the OCP/INNOVX Venture Builder, and a €21M FISEA+ technical-assistance envelope for Proparco).

The underlying 'technology' is a methodology and a network rather than a software platform. INSKIP generates revenue through bespoke, fee-based consulting engagements and multi-year program-management mandates delivered against named clients including TotalEnergies, EDF, VINCI, Air France, Stellantis, Safran, Bpifrance, Proparco, ACAPS, École Polytechnique, and the World Bank, alongside more than 100 large groups and institutions in aggregate. Customer segments are deliberately diversified across large enterprises, public-sector institutions, and startups/investors, and the firm has scaled its geographic footprint across Europe, Francophone Africa, and the Middle East. Co-organization of European Deeptech Week 2026 with Bpifrance and the European Commission signals its positioning as an institutional actor in the European deeptech ecosystem. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; engagements are structured as project-based or retainer-based mandates tailored to scope and complexity.

Core offering

INSKIP is a strategy and innovation consulting firm that deploys entrepreneur-consultants (rather than traditional advisors) to help large corporations, public institutions, and startups design innovation strategies, build and run incubators/accelerators, accompany entrepreneurs and intrapreneurs, develop new business ventures, and structure financing and fundraising. Services are delivered as bespoke consulting engagements, supplemented by managed accelerator programs (notably 212Founders for CDG Invest) and the INSKIP Academy training platform.

Product overview

INSKIP is an entrepreneurial consulting firm operating as a unified service offering rather than a software platform. The company provides six interconnected core service pillars: Strategy (innovation strategy and foresight), Incubator & Accelerator (program creation and venture building), Accompaniment (entrepreneur and intrapreneur coaching), New Business Development, Financing (fundraising support), and Training (entrepreneurship education). These services are delivered through direct consulting engagements and supported by specialized offerings including the Academy (training platform), INSKIP Africa (regional practice), and programs like 212 Founders (Morocco's leading accelerator). The approach emphasizes hands-on entrepreneurship with practitioners rather than distant consultants, positioning INSKIP as a strategic operating partner rather than a traditional advisory firm.

Direct peers

• NUMA: Paris-headquartered innovation consultancy and accelerator operator running programs across Europe, Africa, the Middle East and LatAm. Closest direct competitor to INSKIP given overlapping geographies, accelerator-management model, and corporate/government innovation mandates.
• Entrepreneur First: Global talent investor that finds and backs founders pre-idea through cohort-based programs. Explicitly listed as both a client and partner in INSKIP's ecosystem; competes with 212Founders for early-stage talent and shares the entrepreneur-in-residence ethos.
• Antler: Global early-stage VC running entrepreneur-in-residence and accelerator programs worldwide including Europe and Africa. Comparable in that it pairs program design with seed capital and works with corporates on innovation mandates.
• Paris&Co: Paris-based public innovation platform operating multiple sector-specific incubators and accelerators. Direct collaborator with INSKIP on SOLIDEO Paris 2024 evaluation work and adjacent operator in the French innovation ecosystem.
• Founders Factory: Global venture studio and accelerator that designs and operates corporate-backed startup programs. Closely mirrors INSKIP's venture-builder and incubator-management service line, particularly for B2B/digital sectors.

Broad incumbents

• Roland Berger: European-headquartered global strategy consultancy with deep presence in France, automotive, energy, and public-sector transformation. Competes with INSKIP for high-end corporate strategy and innovation mandates, especially with French grands groupes.
• BCG X: Innovation, venture, and design arm of Boston Consulting Group. Overlaps with INSKIP's strategy + new business + venture building offerings, serves similar large-enterprise clients, but at much larger scale and global reach.
• Bain & Company: Global strategy consultancy with Bain Vector Labs and Innovation Factory offerings. Direct incumbent competitor for INSKIP's large-enterprise innovation and corporate-renewal engagements, particularly with CAC 40 clients.
• Oliver Wyman: Global management consultancy with strong financial services, mobility, and energy practices that map to several INSKIP verticals (Attijariwafa, TotalEnergies, Air France, OCP). Competes for similar transformation program engagements.

Others
