Horyond Non Profit is the French 1901-law association I chair, formed in 2025. Its stated purpose is digital inclusion for small organisations. In practice: I help associations, NGOs, education projects and early-stage startups on tight budgets clarify their message, pick tools that fit, and set up a simple online presence — then I hand over so they can run it themselves.
Too many impact projects stay hard to find or badly structured online. Not for lack of value — for lack of time, budget, or bearings on the right tools.
Unblock the essentials, don't rebuild everything. Clarify the message, scope the priorities, pick tools that fit and, where it applies, ship a clean one-page.
No unlimited support, no complex builds, no guaranteed acceptance. What we can do depends on the need, on eligibility, and on the capacity we actually have at the time.
The entry point for everything else. We clarify the need, the goals and what actually matters next, then set a realistic direction. Plenty of organisations already leave with the main thing at this stage: knowing what not to do.
Step 1 · review & scopingPick tools that fit the context rather than the trend — design and communication (e.g. Canva), organisation and collaboration (e.g. Google Workspace).
Subject to eligibilityWhen it's relevant and feasible: a clear, understandable one-page / landing page. No bespoke development — that isn't what the program is for.
Case by caseThe fundamentals for being findable and readable: structure, headings, key pages. Not an SEO retainer — just the floor that keeps you from being invisible.
FundamentalsThe step that matters most. Clear choices and solid foundations so the organisation can keep going without depending on me. Support that works comes to an end.
ExitA partnership with PageStreet, a public-funding advisory firm, to point innovative projects toward the right schemes — French R&D and innovation tax credits, grants, investment support. The association refers; the funding expertise stays with them.
PartnershipNo complex development, no unlimited technical support, no automatic access to tools, no guaranteed acceptance. Saying so upfront avoids wasting the time of organisations that have little to spare.
Deliberately scopedYou describe your organisation and your need through the “Submit a project” form on horyond.org.
We assess relevance and feasibility. Not every request fits the program, and that's fine.
If it's relevant, we clarify the need in 15–20 minutes. Short and direct, to avoid pointless back-and-forth.
Depending on current capacity, we confirm support — or point you elsewhere, which is sometimes the more useful outcome.
Scoped support. Pro bono where we can. Never unlimited.

I founded START Paris, the local chapter of the European START network, to bring student entrepreneurs closer to international startup ecosystems. That's where I learned to run a community and to scope projects very early.
I handed START Paris over. Meanwhile, working with associations and small organisations, the same blocker kept coming back: no time, no budget, no bearings for existing properly online. A far more down-to-earth need than access to a network.
Declaration of HORYOND FOR NON PROFIT, a French 1901-law association, RNA W343033813, registered in Montpellier. A deliberately narrow purpose: digital inclusion for small organisations. I chair it.
Requests come in through the form, get read, and are accepted according to the capacity actually available. A partnership with PageStreet lets us point innovative projects toward public funding. The rest — complex development, unlimited support — isn't on the menu, and won't be.
