What Moovjee does

Moovjee is a French non-profit association (operating under the parent entity Twoo – Grandir avec le mentorat, SIRET 52223008500030) founded in 2009 in Paris that provides free long-term mentorship to young entrepreneurs aged 18-30. Its core program pairs mentees with experienced entrepreneur-mentors for 6-18 month relationships, supplemented by expert workshops, media visibility through partnerships with BFM Business, Les Echos, and others, and the annual Prix Moovjee national competition (with Grand Prix, Prix 100 jours, and Prix Artiste-Entrepreneur categories). The organization has supported over 7,000 young entrepreneurs since inception and reaches more than 10,000 young people annually through 70+ events across France. Moovjee does not operate a technology product; its "platform" is a community-based service delivery model built on volunteer mentor and expert labor, regional territorial animators, and 12 regional ambassadors.

The organization's service portfolio includes the Moovjee Family community (7,000+ members), Moovjee Angels (a dedicated business angel network exclusively for Moovjee-mentored entrepreneurs, which has helped mentee companies raise over €20M in three years), and Moovjee Agency (a consulting arm that designs custom mentorship and entrepreneurship programs for corporate and institutional clients). Moovjee operates internationally through Moovjee Québec (launched April 2013 via the Fondation de l'Entrepreneurship du Québec) and Moovjee Tunisie (launched May 2016). The organization is the founding and leading cell of Rezoo (formerly Réseau M / Réseau Mentorat France), the French national mentorship network.

Moovjee's revenue model relies on three streams: corporate and institutional sponsorship (CIC since 2009, EY, Manutan, Société Générale, MACIF, GSC, Bpifrance), French apprenticeship tax (taxe d'apprentissage) allocations, and fee-based consulting via Moovjee Agency. All core services — mentorship, expert support, Prix Moovjee participation, and community access — are provided free of charge to the target population of 18-30 year-old entrepreneurs. Leadership is anchored by founder and president Dominique Restino, general delegate Bénédicte Sanson, and COO Madina Tall, with a governance bureau including VP/treasurer Jean-François Royer, VP Christelle Sundermann, and secretary general Yannick Hoche.

Direct peers

• Réseau Entreprendre: French non-profit network pairing young and growing entrepreneurs with experienced business leaders and providing financial backing. Directly comparable to Moovjee in mission (entrepreneur accompaniment), volunteer-based mentoring model, and multi-region French footprint.
• Initiative France: Federation of local associations providing loan-free financing and volunteer mentoring to entrepreneurs creating or taking over a business. Highly comparable to Moovjee on target audience (including young founders), free accompaniment model, and national/local association network structure.
• France Active: French network of associative financiers supporting entrepreneurship, especially from underrepresented groups, via financing and accompaniment. Comparable to Moovjee in non-profit structure, regional network model, and focus on entrepreneurs who struggle to access mainstream support.
• ADIE: Association for the Right to Economic Initiative, providing microcredit and accompaniment to entrepreneurs excluded from traditional banking, including many young founders. Comparable on non-profit accompaniment mission and field presence across France.
• 100,000 Entrepreneurs: French non-profit organizing volunteer entrepreneur testimonials in middle and high schools to raise youth awareness of entrepreneurship. Closely comparable to Moovjee's 'Informer' pillar and sensitization activities aimed at young people aged 18-30.

Broad incumbents

• Bpifrance Le Lab / Bpifrance Création: French public investment bank running large-scale entrepreneurship support, events (BIG), and partner programs across France. Overlaps with Moovjee on youth entrepreneur audience and is also a key institutional sponsor and jury partner, making it both competitor and enabler.

Emerging players

• PEPITE (Pôle Étudiant Pour l'Innovation, le Transfert et l'Entrepreneuriat): Network of 29 university-based student entrepreneurship hubs coordinated by the French Ministry of Higher Education. Comparable audience (students/young founders), also referenced by Moovjee as a partner (Manutan hosts seminars for PEPITE winners), creating partial overlap on student entrepreneur recruitment.
• La Ruche (Réseau BGE): Network of coworking and incubation spaces across France operated by BGE (Boutiques de Gestion), supporting project creators and young entrepreneurs. Overlaps with Moovjee on entrepreneur accompaniment and local/regional presence, though focused on incubation rather than mentorship.

Regional players

• Réseau Mentorat France (Rezoo): National French mentorship network of which Moovjee is the founding youth-entrepreneurship cell. Comparable mission and methodology across all ages, but Moovjee's specific 18-30 entrepreneur focus is more targeted than the broader Rezoo network.
• Ashoka France: French branch of global Ashoka network supporting leading social entrepreneurs via fellowship, mentorship, and ecosystem connections. Comparable in non-profit mentorship model and multi-stakeholder ecosystem (corporates, foundations, public), though targeting social rather than youth entrepreneurs specifically.
