PORTFOLIO AND CO

What PORTFOLIO AND CO does

Portfolio & Company is a Villeurbanne, France-based boutique consulting and training firm founded in 2020 by Catherine Wable. The company helps French SMEs, mid-size enterprises (ETIs), and higher education institutions understand and adopt AI for business transformation. Its service portfolio spans four lines: Diagnostic Data IA consulting (delivered through Bpifrance's IA Booster program with up to 50% financial coverage for qualifying clients), corporate AI training programs (7 to 21+ hours covering AI fundamentals and AI for decision-making), higher education teaching (strategy, creativity, innovation, entrepreneurship, and AI courses delivered at named institutions including IUT Lyon 1, IUT Jean Monnet, CEFAM, ESCT, and EFAP), and conference/workshop facilitation (e.g., SIDO roundtables, INSEAD Women's Leadership Conference workshops).

The underlying technology is human expertise rather than proprietary software — there are no patents, APIs, apps, or AI/ML models; the firm's "IP" is its curriculum adapted from Catherine Wable's INSEAD "Transforming your Business with AI" certification (2022), her 20+ years of C-suite operational experience (COO, CEO, CIO roles), and methodologies refined across 140+ executive engagements spanning predictive maintenance, fashion photo retouching automation, and inventory optimization.

Revenue mechanics are professional services across all four streams, sold through a direct sales-led motion: website contact form, phone outreach, and a structured referral pipeline via the Bpifrance IA Booster partnership. The entity is structured as a SASU with €1,000 share capital, founder-owned, bootstrapped, with no disclosed external equity, debt, or institutional investors, and only two identified team members (founder and one IT staffer). Marketing is content-driven via website articles, an interactive 20-question AI knowledge quiz, LinkedIn presence, and event participation.
