klode°«s partner in »Qui Veut Être Mon Associé»
At Berney Associés, entrepreneurship is one of our core values. We help entrepreneurs succeed on a daily basis.
Recently, a company that we helped to develop enjoyed great success and media exposure. With its participation in the TV programme «Who wants to be my partner?» on M6, klode° has risen to the forefront of the entrepreneurial scene.
A high-profile appearance on M6 marked an important step for klode°, which managed to convince two well-known investors, Tony Parker, a renowned basketball player, and Kelly Massol, founder of the «Les secrets de Loly» brand.

In 2019, klode° joined the incubator -Pulse Hes, in Geneva. A start-up incubator that we support. It was there that we met Tim Coutherez, Luca Fazzone and Aude Ambrosini. A few years later, this meeting paved the way for a fruitful collaboration, demonstrating once again the importance of networks and partnerships. We're proud to support start-ups from the very beginning, and even more so when they call on our services as they grow.
As well as supporting klode°, this venture also highlights our commitment to in-house entrepreneurship. Aude, co-founder of klode°, is also our communications manager. Aude has flexible working hours, enabling her to juggle her business with her assignments at Berney. We strongly believe that this «double-hatting» gives her a global vision and a valuable and enriching perspective for our company.
At Berney, we are proud to support entrepreneurship and contribute to the success of young companies.
The story of klode° and Berney Associés illustrates the power of strategic collaboration and commitment to entrepreneurship. Berney remains determined to accompany other young companies on the road to success, affirming its role as an essential partner for those who aspire to be entrepreneurs today.
What is klode°?
klode° is a Franco-Swiss design brand that designs and develops innovative products that benefit the planet through their functionality.
klode° has created Mint, the first organic waste bin with a vacuum system. Thanks to its entirely manual mechanism, it allows households to sort their organic waste without odour, gnats or disgust by vacuum-packing it.
Organic waste is still the least sorted waste, with only 45% of this waste being sorted. When it is not sorted and ends up in the incineration plant, water is burnt. This waste is responsible for 40% of CO2 emissions from incineration plants. klode°'s mission is to help increase the sorting of this waste by providing a solution that addresses the main obstacle to sorting: the nuisance it creates in the kitchen.
