In 2009, after graduating from École Polytechnique, Benoît Charles-Lavauzelle and Fabrice Bernhard chose a different path from traditional career routes. They had already created Allomatch, their first successful venture which attracted five million users annually. It was through supporting an organization in the digitalization of a complex business process that they defined their long-term mission: to design high-impact digital products while developing a new generation of technical leaders. This marked the beginning of Theodo.
Theodo was founded on a clear principle: designing digital products that are useful, robust, and built to last. From these beginnings, the company evolved into a leading technology consulting firm with a unique Lean Tech® methodology that combines agility with lean principles. Over the years, Theodo scaled from two people to 700+ experts across offices in Paris, London, Nantes, Lyon, Casablanca, and Cape Town. The group structured itself around specialized entities - Theodo Apps, Theodo Cloud, Theodo Data & AI, Theodo FinTech, Theodo HealthTech, and Theodo GovTech - each driven by the same ambition: to build centers of excellence delivering useful, robust solutions fast.
Today, Theodo partners with innovative organizations - from startups to FTSE-listed companies - helping them transform through technology. The team has delivered critical projects like deploying Bpifrance's €115 billion state-guaranteed loan platform in just 5 days, refactoring TF1+'s 13 streaming platforms in 6 months to achieve 40% revenue growth, and launching Compagnie des Alpes' unified mobile experience for 350,000 users. The vision remains unchanged: create rapid, sustainable value through technical excellence and a learning-driven culture.
