Fly The Nest

What Fly The Nest does

Fly The Nest (legal entity The Nest, SAS) is a French boutique consulting firm founded in 2015 and headquartered in Nantes, with a secondary presence in Paris. The firm provides coaching, organizational consulting, and training services to startups and scale-ups, structured across three growth stages: early-stage startups, growing startups (typically 20–100 employees), and scale-ups. Core offerings include Collective Coaching (leadership team coaching, seminar design and facilitation, culture formalization and transition), Individual Coaching (executive coaching, new manager support, strategic interventions), and Training (management and team-effectiveness programs, off-the-shelf or custom-designed). Services are delivered as multi-year, fixed-fee engagements without day limits, with approximately one-third of accompaniments comprising unplanned actions added during the engagement.

The business model is pure professional services with no software product, app, or technology platform. Revenue is generated through customized engagements sold directly via website contact, email, and phone. The firm operates a self-governance model with a small core team of five practitioners who run the full value chain. It has published a book (FLY: Le guide pratique pour réussir son aventure collective, 1,000+ copies), runs the "Dynamique Collective" podcast, and operates an active blog. Three sister brands — Sillages (transition actors), Avolaré (SMEs and ETIs), and l'Atelier (training) — have been spun off to extend the practice into adjacent segments, with 14 associates across the ecosystem having transferred 100% of capital to a Patagonia-style foundation.
