Le Story


Karine Sarkissian and Sophie Durey have been long time friends. With a love for venture and drawing from their different professional backgrounds, they often chatted about gaps within the VC ecosystem. They first-hand experienced the value of harnessing Impact and Design to reach growth & profitability. Determined, they created Le Studio: a one-stop shop solution to empower entrepreneurs and amazing innovators while giving them the tools to design successful impact driven ventures. 

“Our priority is to enable exceptional founders to reach their goals in a way that is both time and cost efficient”
