Acquisition - 2025
Supported by the French investment fund Extens, Lyon-based Imagine Human is pursuing its growth with the acquisition of Fletchr®, a SaaS solution dedicated to CSR strategy management and ESG reporting.
Founded in 2019, Imagine Human, a publisher of software dedicated to Quality, Safety/Health at Work and the Environment, is an international “impact technology” group responding to the major economic, social and environmental challenges currently facing private and public companies. The Group is owned by its managers and by Extens, a leading French investment fund dedicated to healthcare software publishers, which invests in high-potential tech companies. Since early 2024, Extens has been supporting the Group in its ambition to become a leader in the QHSE and CSR market segment.
Connected to all of a company’s stakeholders, Fletchr® is a tool dedicated to CSR strategy management and ESG reporting, designed for organizations wishing to digitize their processes and facilitate the preparation and publication of non-financial reports. With its intuitive collaborative interface, the solution enables organizations to optimize the management of all ESG reporting tasks in a single space, across a wide range of standards, and with no user limits.
Two months after integrating Qualipro® (quality management), Imagine Human is expanding its range of software solutions with Fletchr® and strengthening its market position. Already recognized for its simple, innovative, and reliable digital solutions, the Group now delivers a unique offering that combines complementary functionalities with international reach.
Imagine Human is now the only player to provide companies in 40 countries with a complete range of QHSE and CSR solutions through Winlassie®, Qualipro®, and Fletchr®.
Yannick Jarlaud, Founding President of the Imagine Human Group :
“This new acquisition is fully in line with our strategy for growth and international expansion. Our ambition is to imagine and rethink the digitalization of impactful expertise that is essential in companies, such as service and product quality, the health and safety of women and men at work, and the protection of our environment. Bringing together practical digital tools and a strategic CSR governance solution delivers modern companies a unique way to address today’s sustainability and performance challenges. With the support of the Largillière Finance teams, we identified Fletchr®, which offers this synergy and complementary expertise. We are delighted to welcome them to the Group. Our mission is clear: to provide our clients with interconnected solutions that enable them to transform QHSE and CSR challenges into levers for their performance, compliance, and international competitiveness. I am also delighted to welcome Marie Hébras to the Imagine Human Group Executive Committee, where she will be responsible for driving CSR development.“
Marie Hébras, CEO of Fletchr® :
“It is with great enthusiasm that Fletchr® and its team are joining Imagine Human Group today. Fletchr® was born out of a strong conviction: companies need intuitive and effective tools, developed by industry experts, to manage their non-financial performance with rigor, agility, and transparency. Expectations around CSR have evolved significantly in recent years, driven by markets, clients, and all stakeholders. Our SaaS solution was designed to meet this need: to simplify CSR reporting, of course, but above all to make it more strategic, more collaborative, and better integrated into companies’ overall governance. I am delighted to open this new chapter in our history and proud to contribute to accelerating the growth of Imagine Human Group.”
Nicolas Ibanez, Partner at Largillière Finance :
“We are proud to stand alongside Yannick Jarlaud and his team to support the strong growth of Imagine Human Group, a highly promising player in the tech sector, which we know particularly well. This new transaction reflects the Group’s strong ambition to become a leader in the QHSE and CSR market segment.”
With more than 40 employees, a strong international presence and nearly 30 operations in 2024, Largillière Finance confirms its leader position in small and midcap in France.
