FairFair, a commercial brand of the QuiOuvre group, has raised nearly 400,000 euros from Mines Alès Angels and MELIES Business Angels. This investment should enable the start-up to accelerate the activity of its network of emergency repair professionals. The intelligent multi-trade platform hopes, thanks to this fundraising, to become the national reference for home services and to develop its solutions in Europe.
A digital platform for emergency repairs thanks to artificial intelligence
In 2015, Jérémy Simonin and Yves Gilet founded QuiOuvre, an emergency home repair service. The brand focuses, for example, on locksmithing, connecting artisans and companies with professionals whose practices they judge to be ethical. Five years later, they launched FairFair, a digital platform for connecting policyholders with qualified breakdown repairers, as Yves Gilet, president of FairFair, explains:
“We are creating communities of ethical convenience stores accompanied by digital innovation. FairFair represents the foundation of tomorrow’s 3.0 breakdown service world. But the human element is paramount: we answer incoming calls, we conduct our customer satisfaction surveys via individual phone interviews.”
FairFair offers a transformation hub for the multi-trade troubleshooting ecosystem. Its platform uses AI to respond at any time of the day or night, to the needs of policyholders who would need professional troubleshooters.
400,000 in funding to expand internationally
FairFair has obtained 400,000 euros in funding from Mines Alès Angels and MELIES Business Angels. Gilles Roche, president of MELIES Business Angels, explains the reasons for the involvement of his investment fund:
“FairFair seduced us in more than one way. On the one hand, because it brings together both high-tech talent and the repair business, an atypical case for a start-up. On the other hand, this fast-growing company has a high-quality management team. We are counting on the dynamism and talent of the entire team to impose FairFair in France and then internationally.”
Jérôme André, President of Mines Alès Angels, adds:
FairFair relies on both “proven digital expertise and an ambitious customer quality approach. FairFair’s strong professional ethical dimension in the management of its network is a real issue in housing services.”
With this funding, the start-up hopes to:
- Increase the loyalty of its craftsmen, VSEs and SMEs partners thanks to the improvement of payment reactivity
- Consolidate its payroll: the company has 15 employees.
- Expand internationally, more specifically in European countries bordering France.
