Olympe is a disruptive software development platform for large companies and was co-founded by Laurent Chatelanat and Antoine Forel. The Lausanne-based company will use the funds to grow its teams and platform.

Olympe was a Venture Leader Technology in 2017 and one of TOP 100 Swiss Startups for the last three consecutive years. 
 
Thanks to this investment, Olympe’s co-founders and their 30 teammates will be able to accelerate the platform’s marketing phase by reinforcing the sales and marketing team. The development team will also benefit from this fundraising to build the Olympe platform of tomorrow, by continuing to meet the growing needs of users, especially for supply chain management. “This first stage of financing as a Scale up Vaud labelled company will allow us to quickly diversify our client portfolio. We will be able to confirm that our product meets all kinds of opportunities for companies who wish to go digital,” explains Antoine Forel, Olympe co-founder and CFO. 

Furthermore, this fundraising round welcomed Inter Invest Capital, a leading management company, as a new shareholder and its Co-founder and Partner Benjamin Cohen on Olympe’s Board of Directors. This round also opened up the capital to several employees who were eager to become more involved in the company. In addition, the general shareholders’ meeting decided to extend the subscription period to 31 October 2020, for an additional amount of up to CHF 1 million. To meet investors, CEO Laurent Chatelanat will attend this year's TOP 100 Investor Summit on September 9.
