'Healthcare platform Doctolib has conquered France — but can it take on Europe?' Lloyd Price, HealthTech M&A Advisor and Partner at Nelson Advisors shares his thoughts with Daphné Leprince-Ringuet from Sifted discussing Doctolib, their continued success, big future and potential next moves. 'Few startups in France can claim to have changed the way people behave in as systemic a way as Doctolib. Launched in 2013 by Stanislas Niox-Chateau, Doctolib has become a key component of the country’s healthcare system. Its first product — an online booking platform that lets patients schedule doctor appointments — saw huge adoption in a sector with very little digitisation. > Today, the company covers “almost all of the French population”, says Doctolib’s CFO Pierre Vergnes. It counts 80m patient accounts spanning three countries, of which the vast majority remains in France. Doctolib also has 19m users in Germany, which it expanded to in 2016, and a “nascent” number of users in Italy, launched in 2021. > During the Covid pandemic, the French government selected the company as an official partner to manage vaccination appointments. “[In France], they’re a utility company for running healthcare infrastructure now,” says Lloyd Price, a healthtech M&A advisor.

In France, there is no question that Doctolib is one of those companies that has profoundly changed the way people behave. Launched in 2013 by Stanislas Niox-Chateau as an online booking platform that lets patients schedule doctor appointments, Doctolib saw huge adoption in the country and now covers “almost all of the French population”, its CFO Pierre Vergnes tells me. But what's next for the company, which at €5.8bn is France's highest-valued unicorn? After having (slowly) expanded to Germany and Italy — learning throughout that taking on new geographies with a health product can be painful — will the scaleup be able to conquer other countries? And as more and more startups set out to leverage new technologies for healthcare, will Doctolib manage to stay ahead of the curve? Read more: https://lnkd.in/e6Rmdhyc

There a fewer and fewer public companies.  They were +8000 in the US in 1996 and are now only 4642.  That’s down 43%. How did this happened? You can explain this in many ways :  The regulation makes it increasingly difficult for a company to IPO VC & PE have be on the rise for the last decade Acquisitions are also on the rise. To give you a snapshot : 870 publics companies were acquired by one of the magnificient seven (google, apple, Meta, Amazon, Microsoft, Tesla and Nvidia) And what’s the consequence? More and more companies, facing difficulties by IPO are drawn to VC & PE were there are more and more investors. Even though the private market lack transparency and available data, VC and PE firms have been working on tools to obtain data in ordre to make better investment décision. It’s the case for Earlybird or EQT Ventures. And also a lot of start-ups that are now working to create tools to help VC in their decision making process. So now the question is : will private markets one day have a sufficient data level for investors to make as informed decision as they would in public markets ? On my side I truly believe that in the upcoming years, we'll see the first quants VC. If you want to read some more : https://lnkd.in/eKFZuyeE

5 years ago I pioneered the Part-Time CMO model in France by creating iytro. Today there are over 400 so called Part-Time CMOs in France alone and it raises some concerns for me. The reality is that not all Part-Time CMOs, especially those who self-proclaim themselves to be so on LinkedIn, are truly CMOs. How do I know? Because many of them have applied to work at iytro… and I turned them down. 🤷🏻‍♂️ Some lacked the necessary posture - working with CEOs is not always easy and the job requires you to make some tough calls. Others didn’t have the required experience or expertise - being a Part-Time CMO means being a Swiss Army knife, and that breadth of knowledge is something that comes naturally with experience. Yet they all call themselves Part-Time or Fractional CMOs on LinkedIn or Malt. 💡 But you should know being a Part-Time CMO is very different than being a CMO. Each is a unique job in its own right but that’s a conversation for another time. For me, this is diluting the market. Of course this doesn’t apply to everyone - there are a lot of great Part-Time CMOs out there, some that have even joined us as freelancers - but it does leave me wondering… Is this the new way of bringing in professional opportunities? Has the title ‘Part-Time CMO’ become a trend? The new ‘Open to Work’ LinkedIn banner? Just be aware. 🎶 I'm representing for them ‘marketers with attitude' all across the world (Still) Hitting them corners in them low-lows, Still taking my time to perfect the beat And I still got love for the growth, it's the I-Y-T-R-O 😎

I Tried Cold Showers and Here's What Happened... Disclaimer: By cold shower, I am not talking about what’s happening in French politics right now 😱 (that will be the subject of another post) No, I mean actual cold showers. Cold exposure is gaining popularity these days as a health booster through controlled stress induction. Small doses of stress can significantly benefit our overall well-being. This is why practices like cold plunges and intermittent fasting (which stress the body) are trending right now. I've been taking cold showers for over a year but recently discovered I was doing it wrong ❌ So, I decided to give it a real try, and here's what happened. 🚿 My initial Initial Cold Shower Routine After a regular shower in the morning, I turn the water to the coldest setting. The first few seconds are brutal: your breathing quickens, and it hurts a little. There's a moment of real discomfort, as if your body is fighting against the cold. But this is where the magic begins. Within seconds, you feel a rush of adrenaline. This surge clears your head. However, once you push through the initial shock, your body starts to acclimate. And this is where I was stopping—after roughly 30 seconds of cold exposure. I thought I had my "shot" and was getting the benefits, so I would get out. 😇 The Aha Moment I recently dove deeper into cold exposure and realized I was missing the whole point because the full benefits happens around the 90-second mark (studies in the comments below). While recently listening to Andrew Huberman (video below), I had my aha moment. He used an interesting analogy, explaining that stressors come at us in waves, which he refers to as "walls." When it comes to cold exposure, we should not just think about temperature and duration. Rather, every time we have the intention to "get out", it counts as a wall. And Huberman recommends counting at least five walls (meaning five moments of discomfort). This is when I realized that I was stopping after the “second wall”. 🥶 The Real Deal So, I started taking 90+ second cold showers ... and counting the walls 👷🏼‍♂️ That is a whole different experience! After the first 30 seconds, you begin hitting more walls, the rush of adrenaline intensifies, as well as the sense of clarity after the shower. Although it's too early to see the long-term benefits on my immune system, and stress levels, the immediate effects are undeniably positive. ✨ My Takeaway ✅ Cold exposure is hard, I am not going to lie, but you acclimate quickly. ✅ Research shows tremendous benefits for immunity, focus, and overall health. ✅ It’s totally free and takes only 90 seconds ✅ And it is actually good for the planet (no heat) 🌎 So, in my opinion, the investment-benefit ratio is very good! I recommend you try it. And trust me, it's easier to start during summer than winter, so now is a perfect time! ⛄️ #ColdShower #Health #StressManagement #Wellbeing #Mindfulness #BrainHealth

⚽️ Today I learned from Nathan K. that Real Madrid and French national team player Aurélien Tchouaméni has created a new interview series called "The Bridge." It's clearly inspired by LeBron James' "The Shop," where LeBron and Maverick Carter host debates and frank group discussions with celebrities while sitting in barbershop chairs. That series started on HBO in 2018 and now continues on YouTube. "The Bridge" is essentially Tchouaméni's own interview show, a group discussion with leading public figures. Episode 1 came out four months ago and features a one and a half hour group discussion on life with Thierry Henry, Francis Ngannou, Khatia Buniatishvili & Steven Bartlett. The show is produced by Excellence Sports Nation (ESN), who represent Tchouaméni and other athletes. I can't tell whether this is meant to be just content marketing for the agency but there's huge potential to turn this show into IP the same way that "The Shop" has grown and commercialized. Seeing Tchouaméni take on an ambitious media content project is fantastic. As a professional athlete, you're in constant need of diversifying your career and Tchouaméni doesn't have the luxury of endless brand deal offers like a Ronaldo or Messi. This unique content helps Tchouaméni build his own personal brand and a lot of positive comments on the first video indicate that he's winning over new fans, myself included! Tchouaméni is a fantastic player but you wouldn't really categorize him as one of the best or most famous athletes in the world. What I've seen from this show is that Tchouaméni has more humour, charisma, and boldness than many other players more famous than him. If Tchouaméni and ESN want to take this further, they could build and commercialize "The Bridge" into a real big content format. This content would be attractive for brands looking to connect with football fans, young audiences, and diaspora groups around the world. This kind of long form strategic content is a much more powerful way for influencers and athletes to connect with audiences rather than one-off endorsements or blithely putting their names on products. Tchouaméni isn't just being paid to read off lines but he's essentially a co-creator and co-producer that guides the content with his own personal touch. This content opportunity exists for all types of athletes and influencers who have deep connections to culture. I expect to see many many more examples of talent building their own strategic long form content that authentically captures the attention of young audiences. #media #content #entertainment #sports #interviews #football #soccer #marketing https://lnkd.in/e6pUH2wR

A History of Venture Capital: Venture Capital (VC) has been a driving force behind some of the most innovative companies in history. From its early beginnings to the establishment of major funds, the evolution of VC has been marked by significant milestones that have shaped the industry. Here are some key insights from Hervé Lebret's detailed study: 1) The Early Days: The concept of VC began to take shape post-World War II but gained significant traction in the late 1950s with the founding of companies like Fairchild Semiconductor by the Traitorous Eight, which was financed by venture capitalist, Arthur Rock. 2) 1970s Growth: The 70s saw the emergence of major VC firms like Sequoia Capital and Kleiner Perkins, which played pivotal roles in funding the growth of technology and biotechnology sectors. 3) Government Influence: The Small Business Investment Act of 1958 and changes in ERISA guidelines during the 1970s provided a more favorable environment for VC investments, contributing to the industry's explosive growth. 4) Global Expansion: Although VC started in the United States, it has become a global phenomenon, with significant growth in regions like Israel and Europe, adjusting strategies according to regional entrepreneurial ecosystems.
