Trailblazers of Impact: Wequity’s Journey in ESG Innovation

The Genesis of Wequity

The duo's desire to have a good influence on society while tackling major global concerns inspired them to start Wequity. They recognized the difficulties associated with the dependability, comparability, and collection of ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) data. These issues fueled the development of AI-powered solutions targeted at streamlining ESG-related processes. Wequity enables organizations and investors to focus on their primary ESG objectives by automating these processes, relieving them of the burden of time-consuming data collection and reporting procedures.

A Vision Unfolds Wequity's Beginnings

The Wequity tale began with a relationship that has endured. Gabriel and Franck-Victor's first meeting on a playground in Brussels established the basis for a journey that would take them to some of the world's most complicated issues. While their mutual enthusiasm for entrepreneurship and social impact was clear from the beginning, it was the rising demand for creative solutions in the ESG landscape that ignited the Wequity fire.

Wequity's Founding Year: A Turning Point

Wequity was founded in 2021 as a result of Gabriel Levie and Franck-Victor Laurant's joint idea. The co-founders each brought unique abilities and experiences to the table, ideally complimenting one another. Franck's experience in law and entrepreneurship made him an obvious option to oversee product development and regulatory concerns, while Gabriel's path from Oxford to McKinsey prepared him to drive sales and partnerships. They gathered a group of committed individuals who shared their desire to make a good difference.

Wequity: Pioneering ESG Automation

Wequity, which was founded in 2021, is a pioneering AI platform focused on automating and improving ESG duties for both investors and enterprises. Gabriel Levie and Franck-Victor Laurant, the company's co-founders, bring complementary experience to the table. While Franck-Victor Laurant is responsible for product development and regulatory issues, Gabriel Levie is in charge of sales and partnerships. Other devoted members of their team include Samuel Verboomen (CTO), Géraldine de Halleux (Data Analyst), and Daniel Sum (Web Lead), who each provide their particular abilities and knowledge.

Securing Investments and Growth

Wequity's path has been punctuated by important turning points. The startup received €1.7 million in investment, demonstrating investor faith in its concept and technology. This money is critical for increasing operations, improving product development, and supporting ambitions to expand beyond Belgium. Collaborations with BEL20 firms and backing from over 30 investors bolster Wequity's credibility and development potential.

Innovative AI Solutions

Wequity distinguishes itself in a crowded ESG field with its revolutionary AI-driven solutions.

This enables them to gain significant amounts of time, meet the expectations of stakeholders (e.g., clients, investors, ESG asssessors, etc.) whilst focusing on the important tasks of  improving their organisation’s sustainability.

Navigating Challenges

Wequity encountered credibility issues in its early days. Establishing confidence among investors, partners, and clients was a difficult task for a fledgling firm with a restricted network. Endorsements, collaborations, and financial support have all played critical roles in overcoming skepticism, confirming Wequity's novel AI-driven ESG solutions, and demonstrating the team's knowledge and capacity.
