WHY SOFTWARE IN OPERATIONS ?

BITS ARE THE NEW ATOM.


Google, Facebook, and Microsoft built their empires with software. 

Operational visionaries like Tesla have proved software brings disproportionate
value to industrial operations.

OSS brings this value opportunity to operational companies by building and
investing in SaaS.

OPERATIONS ARE SEXY AGAIN


The brightest tech minds of our time don't want to spend more time coding
softwares to optimize how we look at cat pictures on the Internet.

They are socially and environmentally aware and want to have real impact on real
people.

OSS mobilizes this generation with entrepreneurship opportunities. 

OPEN, TRANSPARENT, SIMPLE


Before launching OSS, we were plagued by several questions. Why is software in
operations so bad? Why do the users need weeks of training? Why is information
hidden behind seven clicks?

We put all these questions aside to focus one guiding principle.

Software should be simple, beautifully designed, easy to use and implement.

Our pride and joy : the portfolio



WE START AND INVEST IN TECH COMPANIES.

In less than two years, we created ten companies. These companies have in turn
created more than 140 jobs in Europe, and their solutions are on 240 sites.

WHAT DO WE DO?

PARTNER WITH OPERATIONAL COMPANIES


OSS is a partner to operational companies.

They share their issues, what they would like to achieve with software, their
current digitalization roadmap.

And they welcome startup companies with an open mind. They co-construct with the
startups until value is proven and they can see themselves scaling the solution.

Oh, and it's free until it works.

BRIDGE THE GAP


OSS connects operational companies with innovative startups.

Our expertise in industrial operations and software development connects two
worlds, technology and manufacturing. 

The result? 

Startups make meaningful change in a dynamic, exciting sector. Operational
companies strengthen their digital foundation and improve not only their bottom
line, but their operators' daily lives.

CREATE STARTUPS


OSS is a startup studio.

We hire founders and provide them with a few resources.

Like: our proprietary database of pain points, our network of operational
companies willing to co-construct products, a team of 3 to 4 full-time product
development, design, tech, and sales experts. Plus funds to get things going. So
yeah, those kinds of things.

WHAT WE FOCUS ON

USER INTERACTIVE


Extensive user research ensures a UX enjoyable enough that users actually want
to use the software (oh, and they won't need three weeks of training either).

DATA LEVERAGED


Our solutions protect your privacy and empower you with increased access to and
analysis of information. We open the data generated for the business to use. No
lock-in shenanigans going on there.

PERFORMANCE IMPROVED


We create and invest in software that significantly and positively changes the
daily lives of operators.

We focus on impact created and tangible results.

How we work



OSS PROCESS

2 weeks

VISIT FACTORIES


Our team of coders and designers visit factories each week to learn about
current painpoints and desired solutions. We gather issues and ideas for
solutions factories need.

8 weeks

IDENTIFY CO-CONSTRUCTORS AND VALIDATE


After seeing the same issue in multiple factories, OSS validates a
co-constructing agreement for a solution with multiple factories from different
companies. And it's free !

8 weeks

SOURCE THE FOUNDERS AND BUILD


OSS recruits founders who are excited by the idea and get to work. In less than
six months, we build a solution that satisfies all co-constructors, closely
collaborating with users.

8 weeks

INVEST IN COMPANY AND BUILD


OSS invests in the newly created company and gets things going, including
leveraging existing network and proprietary resources for fundraising,
marketing, go-to-market, ...

Forevah

ANIMATION OF THE COMMUNITY


OSS regularly checks on the industrial companies to provide continuous support,
and animates the community of all the startups, notably by enabling
cross-selling.

manufacturing industry!





KATIA GIL GUZMAN

CTO at Emera


OSS Ventures is probably the best startup studio that exists in France. They
helped us in absolutely everything, going above and beyond what was required
from them. Our startup would probably not be the success it is today without the
help of their team




SOUFIANE LAMRISSI

cTo at OPLIT


Une team incroyable et qui sait de quoi elle parle startup tech & industrie.




PIERRICK BOISSEL

ceo at Niagara


One of the only French startup studios capable of truly launching entrepreneurs

FAQ



FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS


Q

SO ARE YOU A FUND, A STARTUP STUDIO, AN INCUBATOR, A CONSULTING FIRM ?

A

We are a startup studio. Our only business is launching and investing in
fast-growth startups that help operational companies. We do not do any kind of
consulting, nor are we tie-wearing bankers. We are not an incubator either,
seeing as we don't rent office space to startups to make our living.


Q

WHAT IS YOUR LINK WITH OPEO ?

A

OPEO invested at the beginning of OSS history and remains a minority
shareholder. We love them because we share the vision, drive and willingness to
help European companies.


Q

DO YOU DO HARDWARE ?

A

No, we don't. We are nerds and therefore love hardware, but we simply do not
know how to make hardware work with the pace of iteration needed in our
business.


Q

WHAT DOES OSS MEAN ? IS IT BECAUSE OF OSS 117 ?

A

OSS means Operations Startup Studio. Yes, it may be linked to OSS 117. But we
won't admit anything!
