Promoting interaction
U.start means the certainty of access to a community of experts with in-depth knowledge of the start-up ecosystem, with whom we have collaborated for many years.
Creating a comprehensive dynamic
Our ecosystem currently includes some fifty highly-skilled professionals, distinguished in their respective areas of operation, both in France and abroad, in such diverse areas as law, taxation, strategy, funding, accounting, new technologies, digital matters, management, business development and marketing.

They trust us already
We found in Herald a client oriented firm, always ready to listen and able to assist us with all aspects of launching our start-up venture. We found a team of dedicated professionals both thorough and imaginative, ready to meet our challenges.
Raphaël Vuillerme et Benoît Bourdel - founders
Herald has been by our side from the early days by Herald. Each team was humane and highly professional. Each professional’s individual experience allowed us to anticipate issues, and their client oriented approach enabled us to understand the legal issues relating to our start-up.
Thanks to Herald’s teams’ large set of skills, we were able to deal with several issues without having to change law firms
Pierre-Camille Altman - CEO & Cofonder
We have been requesting Herald law firm’s expertise for almost 8 years, in advising and assisting us during our initial and following investments in start-ups and small cap companies specialized in the electronic and new technology sector.
Herald strikes us most particularly for the width of its expertise and its client oriented approach as well as its responsiveness.
Jean-Yves Muller - Chairman & Founder
By assisting us, in both a humane and professional manner, Herald has allowed us to reach solutions adapted to all legal issues and especially to meet the challenges of adapting our strategy in view of the very high competition in our field. We would like to thank Herald law firm and its teams for being so available, responsive and efficient, and therefore allowing our company to survive.
Ivan Ljubic - CEO & partner
Herald has been by Algaia’s side and has assisted us in several funds raising, negotiating with investors and strategic partners… The lawyers at Herald have a thorough understanding of the challenges we face, provide highly valuable advice and demonstrate a great deal of professionalism, flexibility and dedication.
Fabrice Bohin CEO and president
Herald’s teams are responsive and display a capacity to adapt which is exactly what start-ups need. Herald is very familiar with the world of start-ups and their challenges. Since Herald is a full service law firm, it allows us to benefit from a global approach and to direct all our queries to one firm, therefore gaining in efficiency whilst receiving high quality services.
Hugo Domic and Stéphane Robyn - Cofounder
What makes Herald so perfect for innovative and fast growing companies such as Valbiotis, is both its teams’ ability to take into account our specificities and the way it is dedicated and close to its clients, whatever the stage it is at (change of legal form, IPO).
In a few words, Herald’s professionals are efficient, close to their clients and profoundly humane!
Sébastien Peltier - CEO
Herald is always responsive to our needs, reactive and has always offered sound advices and counsel in contract law. Additionally, if we have a matter requiring legal expertise that is outside of this field, they refers us to the appropriate person at their firm to move deals forward.
