What Stema Partners does

Stema Partners is a Paris-headquartered AI consulting, training, and implementation firm focused exclusively on French small and medium-sized enterprises (PME) and intermediate-sized enterprises (ETI). The company operates through three integrated service lines: Formation IA, a suite of Qualiopi-certified training programs (IA Essentiel, IA Transformation, IA Growth Academy, IA pour le BTP) that builds practical AI tool skills within client teams in one to two days; Coaching Dirigeants, a recurring monthly subscription for C-suite AI decision support; and Agence IA, a full-service agency offering IA Diagnostic (€10,000+ HT, BPI France Diag Data IA eligible for 25% public subsidy), IA Data Clean (CRM/data enrichment for electronic invoicing readiness), IA Growth Ops (AI-powered B2B prospection automation), Site Web IA (AI-operated websites), and Application Métier IA (custom business software built with AI coding tools). All engagements are structured around the proprietary Méthode Stema, a five-step transformation framework (Audit, Prioritization, Pilot, Deployment, Optimization) that delivers first deployed pilots in 4–6 weeks.

The firm's technical approach integrates third-party foundation models — Claude Opus, Claude Code, ChatGPT, Gemini — with automation and orchestration platforms (Make, n8n, Clay, Airtable, lemlist, Lindy, HubSpot) and French/EU data services (API Sirène, API VIES). Stema dogfoods its own stack: its corporate website has been built and operated by Claude Code since February 2026, with a self-reported 5x increase in qualified inbound leads over three months. The firm is a subsidiary of AQUIL Group and was founded approximately two years ago by Thomas Denizot (AI technology, 'Geek IA'), Emerik Bricaud (training/conferences, founder of Qualiopi-certified training firm Revolia), and Stéphane Puis (operational direction of PME/ETI, Sciences Po/ENSAM graduate, ex-CEO). Operating geographies are domestic France only, with services delivered on-site in Paris or remotely across the country.

Revenue is generated through professional services engagements and recurring subscriptions rather than software licensing. Customer base spans 50+ companies across nine-plus industries, with named logos including Compagnie des Alpes, Wonderbox, Décor Alliance, Latitude, Cubik, Cartaplac, Thermcross, LTM Groupe, Transpoco, Healthcademia, Ressorts Masselin, Loqus, and Bonjour. Marketing is consultative and content-led: a free 30-minute discovery call (booked via HubSpot) sits atop an SEO-driven blog of 134+ articles targeting French PME/ETI AI decision-makers, with 5,000+ professionals trained to date and a 4.9/5 average satisfaction rating.
