AI and blockchain: Marseille consultancy Doors3 raises €1m

Co-founded by Karen Jouve, the emerging-technology consultancy is opening its capital to the family office 9 Capital Management and is targeting revenue of €10m by 2030.

Doors3 has its first outside investor. The Marseille consultancy, which specialises in artificial intelligence, blockchain and immersive technologies, is raising €1m from the family office 9 Capital Management, Gomet' reported. The investment had been announced two days earlier by the specialist website Cryptoast.

Doors3 was founded in Marseille in 2022 by Karen Jouve, its chair and chief executive, Guillaume Moret-Bailly and Julien Furlanetto. The company was registered in February 2023, with its head office on Avenue de Hambourg in the 8th arrondissement. The consultancy supports companies with their technology projects; among other work, it has partnered with fashion house AMI Paris on customer experiences based on NFTs, digital certificates recorded on a blockchain.

The team numbers around fifteen experts spread across Marseille, Paris and Gothenburg in Sweden, according to the website Upside. With this funding round, Doors3 is aiming for revenue of €10m by 2030 and a team of around forty people.

Its bet is to position itself in consulting rather than software publishing: helping companies choose these technologies and integrate them into their operations.
