It all started in 2020, there were 6 of us… and our product was called ProspectIn. 👀
5 years later, we’re over 60 (a little reminder for math nerds: we’ve gone x10 in 5 years). 💪 And now our star product is Waalaxy, of course! 👽
Our goal since Day 1 has been to keep our values alive. But, let’s be clear: keeping those values alive and adapting them to such a fast-moving business is no child’s play.
Except that we love a challenge. We LOVE a challenge. So we set ourselves this one: to do even better, year after year.💥
Waalaxy is born to Generate Leads on LinkedIn
In 2019, the founders realized that to get their SaaS (Waapi) off the ground, they were spending far too much time obtaining, compiling and managing qualified leads on LinkedIn…
When they should be focusing on nurturing prospects through the sales process and winning more business. 🤑 In other words, they knew they had to work smarter to grow faster.
That’s when the ProspectIn and Podawaa tools were born! 👶 The team grows from 7 to 8 to 10 to 20 people… and very quickly, there are too many of us to continue in our small offices at the start.
- So in late 2020 we moved to super offices in Montpellier. 🥳 That’s when business started to take off, and we reached our first million in sales!
- In early 2021, we realize that we can do better with our product branding, and so we launch our interstellar darling: Waalaxy. 🌌 New interface, new features… the verdict is in: our tool is a hit and the team just keeps on growing.
- In the summer of 2022, we make our second move, going from a 30-person open space to having 3 floors in the building next door… 🤯 And, we’re over 50 employees, so a CSE is created, we start to feel that this is becoming a “real company” and no longer a dream start-up.
- From 2023 to 2024, group activities multiply, and real team collaboration and organization take shape! 🤝 And, we make 1 million in sales in 1 day thanks to our Black Friday offer.
We’re doing ski seminars, camping and gîte weekends in the countryside, fiery barbecues on our terrace, 🔥 sunsets/volleyball on the beach, afterworks/blind tests with plenty of drinks… 🎶 in short, it’s a real treat.
Today, we’re too proud of everything we’ve achieved in 5 years, in the face of difficulties in the global market, covid, crises, etc. 🦠
We intend to continue to provide you with the best experience by launching new products like Kawaak, and to continue to nurture our culture. 💖
The Waaliens team behind your Lead Generation
Now, let’s talk about the people who make this space machine run, i.e. the Waaliens! 🤖
On the one hand, we have the founders/executive committee as well as the Admin and HR team. Then we have several teams, divided up as follows: 👇
- SEO/SEA acquisition teams, “growth” and media marketing teams.
- Product and UI/UX design teams, and the customer support department.
- Technical teams of developers, data analysts and AI.
Now you know all about our history, our team/tribe and our overall organization. 😉
Waalaxy’s Intergalactic Mission
Waalaxy’s intergalactic mission ✨ can be broken down into two main areas:
- Our Customer Mission: Helping companies with fewer than 100 people to grow and facilitate prospecting on LinkedIn. 🚀 Create SaaS accessible to all, with pricing adapted by country. 💻 Sharing authentic content with high added value, educating our customers through blog articles and helping professionals develop their skills with our tutorials. 🤓
- Our Internal Mission: Culture is not a given. 🙊 We have to fight to keep it that way. We’re not driven by LinkedIn prospecting alone. 🎯 Our meaning is rooted in our culture. Without it, everything falls apart. Without it, the Waalaxy would be an absolute void.
Our Values and Vision
“Performance is measured by the amount of value delivered. 💎
Skills, work time, effort and experience are levers of performance.
Not ways of defining or measuring it.” – Toinon Georget
(Translation from French to English).
Our two pillars “Well-being & Performance” are divided into 6 key values: 🗝️
- Benevolence: Kind feedback, support in case of mistakes, and respectful management of people and all the things put in place by the company in the offices (thanks to the facilities we have in the offices -billard, gym, chill spaces, pingpong table-, and what we are provided with -protein, cereals, breakfast, frequent shopping- also, organized events that contribute to the feeling of well-being. 🎱
- Anti-conformism (“Unconventional”): A fun BtoB company? It’s possible! Seminars, afterworks and the general atmosphere in the office breathe fun, but so does the box’s general line of communication, which is rather unheard of in our business sector. 💯
- Freedom: Through flexible working hours, telecommuting, and adaptability to individual needs: like the ability to leave in a hurry, or take unlimited leave when you feel the need. 🗝️
- Honesty: with communications through team reports, and general benevolence, it’s easy to say what you think and mean what you say.
- Autonomy (“Ownership”): We’re pushed to take initiative, have the freedom to manage projects, and lots of independence. 😇
- Execution: You get results without having to raise money. We’re also constantly encouraged to give our best, focused on delivering maximum value. 📈
The 2024 vision focuses on 4 major challenges: ⏬
- Keeping people at the heart of the project.
- Increase revenue generated by retention.
- Increase the number of new customers.
- Improve the speed and quality of our products.
