What katalyx does

Katalyx SAS is a bootstrapped tech studio headquartered in Aix-en-Provence, France, founded in March 2025 by three partners — Enguerrand Boulnois (vision and commerce, with 10 years aerospace and 3 years applied AI experience), Victor Denis (technical and product direction), and Sebastien Rousseau (general management and structuring) — following joint consulting work since 2023. The firm operates four interconnected business lines: (1) custom AI agent design and deployment using the proprietary AIFlow method, delivering production-ready agents within 90 days; (2) LinkedIn B2B programmes combining executive personal branding, team social selling, lead generation, and LinkedIn Ads management; (3) custom software development and AI SaaS product development (idea-to-production in 3-6 months) including mobile applications and project rescue; and (4) two self-published SaaS products — Parkour for LinkedIn prospection and Katapulse for AI content creation — that industrialize the firm's service methodologies. A Qualiopi-certified AI training programme with 14 role-specific curricula serves as a fifth offering.

The technical stack centers on orchestration of frontier LLMs (OpenAI Azure EU, Anthropic, Mistral) with RAG pipelines over enterprise knowledge bases, deployed on sovereign EU infrastructure (OVH, Scaleway, Azure EU, AWS Paris). The firm applies AI across multiple modalities — text, structured data, code, and computer vision — for industrial use cases including quality control, predictive maintenance, document synthesis, and B2B workflow automation. Methodology is codified into contractually-committed frameworks (AIFlow, AI SaaS 5-sprint method, Industrial AI 4-step method) with stated outcome guarantees (3.2x ROI at 6 months, +35% qualified meetings, 100% daily AI adoption at D+60 across training cohorts).

The business model is primarily fee-for-service with a mix of fixed-price projects (€1,800 to €180,000 HT), monthly retainers (€900-€8,000 HT), and subscription SaaS. The go-to-market is direct B2B sales with field engagement in South-East France (PACA region, 40+ LinkedIn clients) and remote coverage nationwide (~50% of clients outside PACA). The firm has accompanied 47 B2B companies across 11 industries — manufacturing, agrifood, BTP, professional services, health/biotech, SaaS/tech scale-ups, aerospace, space, defense, maritime, and railway — with logos including Airbus, Caisse d'Épargne, Muséum national d'Histoire naturelle, and various SMEs. Headcount is deliberately lean: 3 partners supplemented by 5-10 senior freelance consultants per mission, with no junior or intern layer.

Broad incumbents

• Artefact: Artefact is a French-founded global data and AI services firm serving enterprise clients with AI strategy, transformation, and product development. It is comparable to Katalyx as a French AI consultancy addressing B2B clients, though at significantly larger scale and broader portfolio scope.
• Ekimetrics: Ekimetrics is a Paris-based AI and data consultancy focused on measurable business outcomes for mid-market and enterprise clients, with proprietary data products alongside services. Like Katalyx, it sells outcome-driven AI engagements to French and European B2B customers, but operates at materially larger scale and with deeper data engineering capabilities.
• Devoteam: Devoteam is a Paris-headquartered technology consultancy with a dedicated AI practice serving mid-market and enterprise clients across Europe. It is comparable to Katalyx as a French-rooted AI services provider, though its scale, vendor partnerships, and breadth of offerings far exceed Katalyx's boutique studio model.
• Smile (Open Source): Smile is a French digital services firm focused on open-source, web, and AI-driven application development for European clients. It overlaps with Katalyx's custom software development and AI integration pillars, serving similar mid-market and enterprise B2B customers, though with a much larger delivery organization.
• Inetum: Inetum is a French IT services group with AI and digital transformation practices serving enterprise and public-sector clients. It is comparable as a French-rooted competitor offering custom software, AI integration, and digital transformation services, albeit at much larger scale with a globally distributed delivery model.
• Sopra Steria: Sopra Steria is a major French IT services and consulting firm with AI, digital, and software engineering capabilities across Europe. It overlaps with Katalyx on AI integration and custom software development, but competes primarily at large-enterprise scale where Katalyx's SME focus differs.

Direct peers

• Eleven Strategy: Eleven Strategy is a French AI and data consultancy that helps mid-market companies deploy AI and data products. It overlaps with Katalyx on AI strategy, AI integration, and custom AI agent development for B2B clients in France, with a comparable focus on measurable ROI rather than large enterprise programs.
• La Growth Machine: La Growth Machine is a French B2B sales automation platform focused on LinkedIn prospecting and multi-channel outbound sequences for SMB and mid-market teams. It is a direct overlap with Katalyx's LinkedIn B2B service line and with the Parkour SaaS, though LGM is a product company where Katalyx is service-led.
• Zenika: Zenika is a French IT consultancy specializing in open-source technologies, AI engineering, and agile transformation for mid-market and enterprise clients. It is comparable to Katalyx as a French boutique-style consultancy offering custom software and emerging-tech expertise, though with broader engineering capabilities and a wider delivery footprint.

Emerging players

• Waalaxy: Waalaxy is a French SaaS tool for LinkedIn automation and multichannel prospecting, widely used by SMB and freelancer audiences. It overlaps with the LinkedIn B2B pillar Katalyx sells and competes with Parkour at the tooling layer, but Katalyx's service offerings go beyond tool implementation.
