Corporate Innovation & Community Impact: Tagether Named Laureate of the Inaugural Level’Up Bootcamp

Level’Up. what is it ?

True entrepreneurial growth thrives on strong ecosystem collaboration. The Level’Up Bootcamp stands as a premier initiative designed to accelerate high-potential projects and drive sustainable economic energy within emerging local territories.

This year marked the successful first edition of the program—an intensive accelerator dedicated to supporting 30 selected founders and builders across both the ideation and strategic development phases of their ventures.

The Level’Up program is co-organized by two major drivers of impactful innovation:

• Bond’Innov: A leading startup incubator dedicated to supporting responsible, high-impact entrepreneurship tied to emerging territories. Bond’Innov is highly recognized for fostering cross-border innovation networks between Europe and Africa.
  
• Meridiam: A global leader in public infrastructure investment and asset management founded in 2005. Operating with a mandate for community-focused, high-impact projects, Meridiam manages over $8 billion in assets under the leadership of its founder and president, Thierry Déau.

This powerhouse co-organization is further amplified by a premium regional partner network, including Archery Corporate Advisory, Est Ensemble Grand Paris, La CCI Seine-Saint-Denis, and Réseau Entreprendre 93.

Inside the Bootcamp: A Week of High-Velocity Venture Building

The inaugural Level’Up cohort was built on an intensive, collective workspace architecture. Due to public health frameworks, the entire session was executed via a high-engagement virtual format.

Over the course of an intensive week, five core project founders were paired with dedicated cross-functional squads of 5 to 6 business profiles, ecosystem experts, and aspiring entrepreneurs. Directed by Ninon Duval and organized by Tariq Boutoustous, the bootcamp focused on stress-testing concept assumptions, validating core market hypotheses, and leading advanced brainstorming sessions.

To bridge academic theory with real-world execution, the organizers embedded deep-dive masterclasses featuring established alumni founders. These scale-up entrepreneurs shared battle-tested case studies, equipping the cohort with clear operational insights to de-risk their next phases of corporate growth.

The Inaugural Cohort: High-Impact Concepts to Watch

The level of innovation across the first edition was exceptional. Alongside Tagether, four other disruptive ventures represented the core cohort :

Bepostman, an innovative, decentralized peer-to-peer product delivery and logistics network by Amadou Bah.

Yeli Dehma, a high-impact crowdfunding platform driving positive-impact initiatives in Europe and Africa through donation and circular economy dynamics.

Trainwithlo, a premium female sportswear brand featuring collections designed and manufactured by women artisans across Africa and tropical territories.

Bloombini, circular subscription commerce platform renting toys for children aged 0-3, optimizing parental utility and product lifecycles by Julie Pavaz.

The bootcamp also highlighted rising ecosystem leaders, notably Madame Faïza, an upcoming founder launching an impactful direct-to-consumer box model and curated monthly workshops dedicated to female wellness education.

Tagether Selected as Official Program Laureate

Following a rigorous final evaluation by the selection committee, Tagether is incredibly proud to be named one of the two official laureates of the Level’Up program, alongside Julie Pravaz of Bloombini.

This recognition validates our underlying mission: equipping expanding retail networks and independent merchants with automated, social-first loyalty infrastructures that convert organic customer word-of-mouth into reliable revenue pipelines.

We extend our sincere gratitude to Erwan Katter from the Meridiam Foundation, Ninon Duval, Tariq Boutoustous, Fatimatou Ousmanou, and Sarah Maupin from Bond’Innov. We also thank the entire partner network, the dedicated organizers, and our fellow cohort participants for an invaluable week of collaborative growth. The strategic frameworks refined during this bootcamp will directly accelerate our platform’s expansion.
