What Vado Innovation does

Vado Innovation is a French technology consulting and development firm incorporated in 2022 as a Société par Actions Simplifiée Unipersonnelle (SASU) and headquartered at 10 A Avenue de Lowendal in Paris's 7th arrondissement. The company delivers advisory, custom software development, and ongoing deployment support across a broad portfolio of technology domains including AI, IoT, Blockchain/Web3, Big Data, Cybersecurity, LegalTech, Maritime Technology (Marétique), NewSpace, and web/mobile application development. Its service model is organized around three phases — Conseil (consulting), Développement (development), and Accompagnement (deployment support) — addressing digital transformation challenges for enterprise and government clients.

The company operates two proprietary product sub-brands: Exado, a local and customizable AI platform that converts structured data into business intelligence with on-premises deployment for security and compliance; and DYT (Dream Yacht Tech), an IoT-based maritime fleet management and navigator-experience solution tied to satellite-constellation surveillance and connectivity. Both products are positioned as differentiated offerings in niche verticals, alongside an internal R&D division branded VADO Innovation LAB. A proprietary Platform with web and mobile application access points and an API is used to deliver products and services to clients.

Vado Innovation operates a sales-led, quote-based consulting model with custom pricing per project, typically structured as multi-year engagements with 12-month renewable terms under French law-governed contracts. Revenue is generated through professional services, custom software licensing (non-exclusive, non-transferable), and product sales denominated in Euros excluding VAT. No external funding has been disclosed, the firm is wholly founder-owned, and capitalization stands at €100 — consistent with an early-stage, bootstrapped microconsultancy of 1–10 employees.
