Objectif CRPE, specializing in preparation for the competitive examination to become a schoolteacher, is spinning off Cartesia Education with the assistance of Capza Transition, which is acquiring control and plans to value the company at between 20 and 30 million euros. Joffe & Associés (Emilie de Vaucresson) advised Cartesia Education, alongside 8 Advisory Avocats and Amala Partners.
CAPZA acquires a majority stake in Objectif CRPE, leader in online preparation for the school teacher recruitment exam. Objectif CRPE is recognized for its excellence in preparation for the Concours de Recrutement de Professeur des Écoles (CRPE), offering a comprehensive and flexible online platform, interactive teaching expertise and a CRPE pass rate of 80%, well above the national average of around 35%.
Cartesia Education, under the management of Benjamin Charignon and Aimery de Vaujuas, has established itself as a leader in the professional training market. As a result, 400 teachers and examiners deliver live and replay courses, offer practice for the written and oral exams, and mark papers, all via the internet. Founded in 2017 with the specific aim of training people in retraining for the competitive examination, this SME has recently expanded its offering with “Passion Pédagogie “designed to support young teachers in their first jobs, today recording sales in excess of 7 million euros.
“As Eugénié Hériard-Dubreuil and Martine Depas, respectively CEO of Objectif CRPE and associate lawyer at Amala Partners, explain, “In addition to strong growth in our core business, the company can fuel its development by positioning itself in other state examinations, accelerating its development in continuing education, and pushing ahead with a dedicated offering for students, once the reform has been ratified.

To expand its activities across Europe, agro-meteorological data provider Weenat concludes an 8.5 million euro Series C financing round with investors including Germany’s ECBF, the Netherlands’ Pymwymic, and historical investor Idia Capital Investissement. Joffe & Associés (Océane Christmann and Clémence Bressolin) advised the European Circular Bioeconomy Fund (ECBF) and Pymwymic on this transaction.
Founded in 2014, the Nantes-based start-up initially caused a stir with its mini-sensors designed to simplify the monitoring of water content in agricultural soils. Looking to accelerate its ambition, the weather data specialist aims to turn its vision into reality with an €8.5 million funding round.
The deal sees the entry of Germany’s European Circular Bioeconomy Fund (ECBF), a fund formed following a European Commission call for tender to finance industrial projects in the field of the advanced circular and ecological economy, as well as Holland’s Pymwymic and Liberset, while long-standing investor Idia Capital Investissement renews its financial support. The latter had led the previous round of 4 million euros in 2021, and previously, the start-up had secured 2 million euros in regional funds in 2019.
“We need to enable farmers to make a living from their work,” explains Weenat founder Jérôme Le Roy for Les Echos magazine. “In addition to further product development, the funds raised will mainly be used to meet our ambitions for European expansion, particularly in Eastern Europe, and may also be used to make further small acquisitions. We’re going to have to come out of this crisis on top,” he concludes.

Medical device company BOYDSense has carried out a €7 million capital increase to support the development of its non-invasive glucose monitoring solutions. Joffe & Associés (Thomas Saltiel, Charlotte Viandaz and Rémi Rodriguez) advised BOYDSense and its historical investors, Jolt Capital and Ambrosia Investments Group, on this transaction.
Alpha MOS’s medical technology (‘medtech’) division closes a seven million euro capital increase, including 1.5 million euros from the conversion of convertible bonds, and 5.5 million euros in additional cash. The capital increase was carried out by a group of investors led by the Swiss Diabetes Venture Fund and Bioserenity, with the participation of the European Innovation Council’s EIC Fund. Alpha MOS’s two long-standing shareholders, Jolt Capital and Ambrosia Investments, are also participating in this transaction, through the conversion of convertible bonds they subscribed to in 2023.
With this capital increase, BOYDSense aims to accelerate the development of its non-invasive glucose measurement device for people with diabetes and pre-diabetes. The funds raised will enable the company to launch new clinical studies, set up the quality procedures needed to obtain the certifications required – notably ISO 13485 – for future market authorization, pursue miniaturization and recruit key positions, while ensuring financial autonomy until 2025.
In the Boydsense press release, company director Ben Delhey explains that; “These new investors bring BOYDSense both significant financial resources and valuable new skills and expertise. They complement the know-how and immense contribution of the BOYDSense team, whom I would like to congratulate on all the milestones we have already achieved”.
According to Fortuneo Banque, after this operation, Alpha MOS will remain the majority shareholder with over 60% of BOYDSense’s capital.
