AI · Lyon, France · Founded 2016

Indy.fr SAS, operating as Indy, provides a comprehensive financial management platform tailored for the needs of independent professionals and small businesses in France. Founded in 2016 by Côme Fouques, Pablo Larvor, Romain Koenig, and Adrien Plat, the Lyon-based company was originally named Georges.tech before rebranding in 2021 to better reflect its mission of fostering independence for entrepreneurs. The company's journey began with a focus on healthcare professionals, gradually expanding to serve all liberal professions, including lawyers and consultants, and eventually adapting its product for tech freelancers and micro-entrepreneurs. The firm’s business model operates on a freemium structure. It provides a free tier that includes automated accounting, transaction categorization, expense report management, and invoicing. Revenue is generated through its premium subscription plans, which start at €12 per month and unlock advanced features such as the creation of all mandatory tax and social declarations, including VAT returns and annual tax bundles (liasse fiscale). This subscription also includes premium support from a team of specialists. For new businesses, Indy offers a free company creation service when they subscribe to the premium plan. Indy's all-in-one platform is designed to simplify administrative and accounting tasks that are often time-consuming and complex for freelancers. Key features include bank transaction synchronization, which automates data entry, and AI-driven categorization of income and expenses. The platform also offers tools for creating and customizing invoices and quotes, real-time cash flow monitoring, and a free professional bank account. A significant milestone was the company's successful Series C funding round in November 2023, where it raised €40 million ($44 million) to fuel further expansion and product development. As of early 2024, the company serves over 150,000 independent professionals.
