“We are not that far from profitability,” argues Raphaël Meyer, president of Lancey Energy Storage, a Grenoble start-up with around thirty employees that designs and sells connected radiators. “In 2023, we achieved more than 3 million euros in turnover, with gross margin when we were at 800,000 without margin in 2022.” Founded in 2016 in Grenoble, his company has nevertheless been in receivership since June.
Potential buyers and investors have until September 30 to submit their offers. “We are having serious discussions with about ten interlocutors, half of whom we know, some of whom are already our partners or suppliers,” he assures, remaining confident about the outcome. “At this stage, everyone would be taken over, which is my primary objective.”
