Our Ecosystem
Testimonials
« BECOMING ELSEWHERE Entrepreneurs accompanies us since 2011 for our development in North America.
Beyond their professionalism, their availability and their kindness, they managed to fit us in the “microcosm” of Montreal, as well as spreading our name in North America by taking several key initiatives: we made thanks to them the cover of the 1st global magazine of our field in the US.
All of this has been done in the perspective of our short-term implantation in Canada.
This implementation is planned for 2015, and I am pleased to entrust to Olivier and his team the steering of the scalability of this future branch, because I have full confidence in his loyalty.”

“As President Founder of bluenove, I really want to thank the Olivier Perrin’s intuition and his team for having contacted us in 2010 as we were developing in France our company created in 2008. BECOMING ELSEWHERE Entrepreneurs identified us by estimating that we had a potential for development in Canada and they accompanied us to mobilize the help of funding from the Coface. Background work was carried out by BECOMING ELSEWHERE Entrepreneurs teams in order to clear out this new territory in terms of business opportunities, partnerships and talents who were likely to join bluenove. I particularly liked the ‘Coaching’ dimension they brought us in moments of doubt and impatience, by motivating us to be persistent and to keep the distance for this long-term project.”
MARTIN DUVAL
“Supported by BECOMING ELSEWHERE Entrepreneurs from A to Z in the rise of Unterval in Canada, we have co-developed in 3 years a structured and sustainable business model by organizing 7 France-Canada missions in the Audiovisual / Cinema / Video Games / Virtual Reality industries. 70 French companies participated in our B2B missions to build up partnerships (co-productions, pre-sales) with Canadian film, audiovisual and video game firms.
BECOMING ELSEWHERE Entrepreneurs has brought us its skills in terms of approaching the market, establishing contacts with professionals and building up our project, not to mention its ability to manage the administrative formalities of the implementation of the company.
This transition phase allowed us, as Unterval France, to adapt, to structure and to internationalize to become Unterval Canada.In 2017, we are officially implemented and mature to develop our projects on solid foundations and continue to rely on BECOMING ELSEWHERE Entrepreneurs for the launch of new challenges in other sectors of activity.”
