Transparency
as its DNA
Born from outrage, we grew with one obsession: to shed light on the digital market for those who build.
From scandal to benchmark
The story of La Fabrique du Net is one of a gut reaction to the abuses of an opaque market, turned into a lasting entrepreneurial venture.
- 2012
The trigger
A national controversy erupts: Carla Bruni-Sarkozy's website is billed at €410,000. A figure disconnected from market reality that discredits the entire profession.
- 2014
The response
We buy back the domain name of the agency at fault to make it the absolute opposite: a symbol of transparency. La Fabrique du Net was born with a simple mission: to restore trust.
- 2018
The expansion
The model takes hold. As SaaS software multiplies, we extend our expertise to become the benchmark comparator for B2B digital tools.
- 2026
The standard
Today, we are the essential trusted third party for 300,000 monthly decision-makers who refuse to pick their partners at random.
I ran an agency. That's exactly why
In 2021, I co-founded a web and mobile development agency, started by two people in a small Paris office. Four years later, it had some fifty talented people, €4M in revenue, and the trust of demanding large corporations.
For those four years, I led sales. Hundreds of meetings, tenders and negotiations. I know the agency world by heart: its challenges, its constraints, and above all those of its clients. And one observation kept coming back:
Businesses choose their agency blindly.
Project owners burned by services billed with no market logic whatsoever. Tenders won or lost for the wrong reasons. Decision-makers unable to choose between two quotes, for lack of a single reliable benchmark.
And yet I was on the selling side. Even from there, the market's opacity always bothered me: it hurts clients, but also the good agencies, drowned out by unverifiable promises.
So when the opportunity to acquire La Fabrique du Net came up, I didn't hesitate for long. An independent media outlet that, since 2014, has done the exact opposite of the market: publishing prices, comparing for real, saying what works and what doesn't, with nothing for sale. In 2025, I sold the agency I had co-founded to dedicate myself to La Fabrique du Net full time.
That independence is what makes this project possible. My agency background is what makes it right: I know exactly where to look.
