[💡#ChangemakersTimes] — Tatiana Jama and the fight to close the funding gap for women entrepreneurs

In France, 88% of venture capital goes to companies founded exclusively by men. To fight this structural inequality, Tatiana Jama, Céline Lazorthes, and Valentine de Lasteyrie co-founded SISTA in 2018 — a collective working to bring more diversity into the digital economy.

 

Since then, SISTA has reshaped the ecosystem by:

✔️ Publishing an annual barometer to highlight inequalities and offer actionable solutions
✔️ Creating a commitment charter signed by 150+ investment funds aiming to have 25% of funded companies founded or co-founded by women by 2025
✔️ Launching SISTAFUND, the first investment fund dedicated to women-led startups — receiving over 2,000 applications annually and investing in 9 companies so far

 

💡 “Fundraising has historically been designed by and for men. It’s time to change the rules of the game”

[🎥] Inside Racine project with architect Maud Caubet

In Paris’s 12th arrondissement, at the foot of Sorbonne Nouvelle, the small iconic tower formerly occupied by France’s National Forestry Office (ONF) for over 50 years is beginning a new life!

 

After two years of renovation, the newly renamed Racine blends heritage with renewal, creating a new silhouette on the city’s skyline.

 

Respecting its past, the building retains its distinctive slim profile. A new extension wraps like a scarf around two reclaimed underground parking lots, turned into luminous patios.

 

Its rooftop — crowned with a greenhouse made of glass and wood — will be dedicated to urban farming, offering panoramic views of Paris and standing as a new urban beacon.

 

A project that combines:

✔️ The poetry of a new landmark in eastern Paris
✔️ Maximum flexibility and reversibility, allowing for future conversion into offices, housing, cultural or sports spaces
✔️ Strong environmental commitment: preservation, reuse, bioclimatic design, and urban nature — from the green roof (175 sqm) to the rooftop farm and first-floor gardens
