In November, FACCNE launched its new Leaders Series to meet with C-level Executives whose companies, startups, and initiatives are boosting the American market. This program is free and open to all.

For the first edition, we had the pleasure to interview Julie Chapon & Lucie Basch, Co-Founders of Yuka and Too Good To Go, 2 world-famous French applications (40 million downloads between them) launched on the American market. It is our honor to announce Leaders Series #2,  a conversation with Adrien Nussenbaum, CEO of Mirakl Inc., the global leader in online marketplace solutions. Join us on Monday, December 14, 2020 at 12:00-1:00pm EST/18H-19H Paris Time.

Mirakl is the only marketplace SaaS platform that empowers both B2B and B2C organizations to launch and grow an enterprise marketplace at scale. It has a wide range of B2B marketplace functions, from payment services to supply-chain solutions. Mirakl has caught the attention of top venture capital and technology reviews, such as TechCrunch and Forbes.

The company has received a variety of awards and public praise. The French unicorn, which is among the NEXT40 companies nominated by President Emmanuel Macron, won a FACCNE 2019 FAB award, and Adrien Nussenbaum was named a finalist for the Entrepreneur Of The Year® 2019 New England Awards program.

In September 2020, Mirakl raised $300 million in a funding round led by private equity firm Permira valuing the e-commerce startup at $1.5 billion.
