Being able to help young entrepreneurs realize their project and perhaps even their dream is clearly in the editorial line of our company. We have all gone through a period where we would have liked to be supported and accompanied in our projects, Welcome Family was only a start-up when it was created… For us, La Pouponnière allows us to come full circle.”
