Big news — and one I’m incredibly proud to share. Today marks a monumental step in our journey to reshape the future of circular fashion and tech-enabled aftercare. I’m thrilled to announce that Save Your Wardrobe has acquired Les Raccommodeurs — a leading B2B digital repair specialist in France 🇫🇷 . Together, we’re setting a new benchmark for the most advanced, scalable, and tech-first aftersales infrastructure in the world. 💡 Les Raccommodeurs brings deep retail and operational expertise with a dynamic commercial model — the perfect complement to our platform. With this bold integration, we’re not just scaling repair — we’re redefining it as a core, enterprise-level solution for brands that want to lead on circularity. This move is a clear signal of: • 🌍 Our commitment to Europe-wide growth • ♾️ Our belief in circularity as the new standard • 💥 Our ambition to lead the future of tech-enabled sustainability It’s a pleasure to welcome Pauline Jaillant, Malo Galliot and Laura Vivien, who will help drive this next chapter across Europe with clarity and purpose. 📣 What’s next? We’re building the infrastructure that empowers global brands to offer seamless repair journeys, strengthen customer loyalty, and extend product life — all while reducing impact and capturing untapped value. If you’re a brand ready to lead the charge in circularity — let’s talk: [email protected] #SYW #Aftersales #Circularity #Repair #Sustainability #TechForGood #Leadership #FashionTech

During my last trip to SF, I had the opportunity to speak with Romain Serman who opened Bpifrance’s San Francisco office 11 years ago to help build bridges between US funds and French startups. We discussed : ✅ The turning point in 2016, when leading US funds first invested in France ✅ The challenges Europe still faces, from fragmented markets to weaker storytelling ✅ What makes a good VC: saying no with respect, staying curious, and avoiding cynicism ✅ How he overcame his early impostor syndrome and developed a hands-on curiosity for tech 👉 For LPs, VCs, and founders interested in French Tech’s evolution from Silicon Valley perspective, this one’s worth a listen. 🎧 Link in the comments

Good to see my colleague at AniVC , Vlad Cernouţan, featured in The Woof newsletter 🐾, sharing some sharp insights on what’s shaping investor decisions in the pet space 🔥. 😎 ☕ 🐾 💡 Vlad makes a strong case for what continues to matter: real defensibility — whether through IP, data, or brand equity, and the importance of teams that can go beyond just building products, but also being able to execute and scale business models. He also emphasizes that customer acquisition means little without long-term retention and trust, especially in regulated or care-driven parts of the market. He also highlights a few areas with strong return potential: 👉 Longevity and preventive health are moving from human to pet care, driven by tech and streamlined regulation. 👉 Functional nutrition (“Nutrition 2.0”) is evolving — no longer just about affordability, but about proven, evidence-backed benefits. 👉 AI-powered infrastructure is finally solving some of the stubborn problems in vet ops, insurance, and other fragmented parts of the ecosystem. 👉 Human biotech crossovers and integrated health platforms could reshape the next wave of innovation. 🐾 I am inspired about being able to move a needle in the pet industry, via our work at AniVC and for those who don’t know, our cofounder and partner Anna Skaya is a stellar founder herself—she built Basepaws, one of the first at-home DNA testing startups for pets, and led it all the way to acquisition 😎. Now she’s channeling that same passion into AniVC, helping back the next wave of innovators in the animal space 🚀. So, if you’re building something exciting in pet tech or animal health 🔬, or investing in it 💰, reach out. We’d love to connect! ☕ Last but not least, kudos to the Roy Ben-Tzvi from The Woof Newsletter for the article, link in the comments 👇 Image credit: The Woof.
