Pitch

Important

Malgré la distribution mensuelle de 100 000 exemplaires dans près de 700 écoles, universités et lycées et 8 années d’activités, l’entreprise n’a pas réussi à finaliser sa levée de fonds lui permettant d’atteindre l’équilibre économique et pérenniser son modèle.

Le contexte économique dégradé (un marché de la presse en difficulté, l'inflation notamment du papier) n'a pas permis au dirigeant de convaincre de nouveaux investisseurs et de trouver une solution de financement complémentaire en attendant les subventions européennes initialement prévues en octobre 2023. Face à la tension de trésorerie, la société a été contrainte de lancer une procédure de redressement judiciaire.

Presentation

Le Drenche is a press company, which publishes an innovative and participative newspaper, Le Drenche, in paper (monthly) and digital formats. It is a bi-media, non-partisan newspaper that offers a unique format for debate. For each subject dealt with, the newspaper systematically opposes 2 forums: one "For" and one "Against". This approach eliminates access bias and encourages the creation of an informed opinion. The organisation proposes concrete actions to promote civic engagement, organises debates and events and has set up an open drafting committee. The Drenche has the status of a company with solidarity as a news media as well as the ESUS label. The company has a strong online presence (ledrenche.fr) and has a free paper version of 60,000 copies, distributed mainly in universities and grandes écoles in Ile de France. After 2 years of existence and a proven initial interest, Le Drenche is now looking for funding to develop its mobile version, increase the number of annual copies and launch its subscription offer.
