We think that co-creation is the fundamental basis for a successful partnership. Co-creation stands as a superior approach to partnerships, fostering deeper understanding and trust between all parties involved. When teams collaborate closely, they bring unique perspectives that spark creative solutions and breakthrough ideas that wouldn't emerge if working in silos. The shared investment naturally leads to higher quality deliverables and more sustainable solutions, while continuous feedback loops help identify potential issues early and facilitate valuable knowledge transfer between parties.

We recently had enlightening discussions with Charles Becquet and Pierre Olier about Locservice's growth — France's pioneer in online rental services 🏠 Redefining the real estate game in France for more than 20 years with a unique "reverse matchmaking" concept, their success story is nothing short of spectacular! 📈 5 consecutive years in the Top 500 fastest-growing French companies (Les Echos/Statista), with an impressive 72.23% growth between 2017 and 2020. Mind-blowing, isn't it? As pioneers of "reverse matchmaking" in real estate, they dared to challenge traditional norms. The outcome? A revolution in how the French find their rentals. 📈 And more numbers to back it up: ↗ €𝟯.𝟳𝗠 𝗿𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘂𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝟮𝟬𝟭𝟵 ↗ 𝟯𝟬𝟬,𝟬𝟬𝟬 𝗹𝗼𝘆𝗮𝗹 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘁𝘆 𝗼𝘄𝗻𝗲𝗿𝘀 + 𝟭𝟱𝟬,𝟬𝟬𝟬 𝗮𝗻𝗻𝘂𝗮𝗹 𝘁𝗲𝗻𝗮𝗻𝘁𝘀 ↗ 𝟰.𝟮/𝟱 𝗼𝗻 𝗧𝗿𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗽𝗶𝗹𝗼𝘁 (𝟭𝟰,𝟬𝟬𝟬+ 𝗿𝗲𝘃𝗶𝗲𝘄𝘀) We think the secret lies in their organization: An agile team of talented people proving that with the right vision and flawless execution, you can disrupt an established market.

Throughout our years of experience as a growth partner, we’ve found that business owners can get very anxious when thinking about working with external experts. But just like hiring full-time employees, working with a partner has its own advantages, especially in the first few years of a company. With its blend of expertise, flexibility, cost-effectiveness, and ease of people management, a B-Team that can work literally on-demand offers startups significant advantages in their early years (see the main reasons in the carousel) So if this question has always been on your head, book a call with us, happy to discuss ✨
