Lokki joins the Mapping of French impact startups ♻️ 🇫🇷

The 2021 mapping of impact startups 💚

The aim of the mapping is simple, according to Grégoire Souloy, who compiled it:

"It is a chance to shine a light on the startups putting innovation at the service of impact. Standard-bearers of Tech for Good, they are on the front line of a long-haul fight on an unprecedented scale."

A few figures from the mapping: ♻️ – There are 840 of us, French impact startups 🐣 – We are 5 years old on average 💼 – Together we account for 19,475 permanent jobs 💸 – We raise 8.5M€ on average (among the 64% of us who have already raised), which is 4.6bn€ in total!

Not bad, is it?

We are very proud to have been selected alongside inspiring startups that are shifting the lines, such as StarBolt, ZenRide, HelloAsso, Yuka, BackMarket and Selency.

Retail is riding the equipment rental wave with Lokki 🏄

At Lokki, we have spent more than 2 years working to bring a new, more responsible mode of consumption to the retail sector: rental.

Buying is out of fashion! The French increasingly favour the usage economy over owning goods. According to Statista, more than 25% of French people have rented equipment in the past 12 months.

The retail industry is naturally choosing to bet on rental in order to:

1️⃣ – Build a more responsible business model

2️⃣ – Offer new services to its customers

3️⃣ – Boost store visits

The catch is that introducing a rental service can be costly and time-consuming without the right tools. Today, Lokki smooths out rental in store and online for more than 400 retailers in France 🙂 That is more than 120,000 rentals handled through Lokki in 2021 alone.

Thanks to our expertise, major retailers such as Decathlon and Boulanger, along with large franchises (Sport 2000, Intersport, Giant, SkiSet), turn to us to launch and digitalise their rental services.

Rental is definitely on the rise! And this is only the beginning…

Thanks to Estelle Delahaye (France Digitale) and Grégoire Souloy (Le Hub BPI) for their trust 😎
