Abidjan · Côte d'Ivoire
Born in Africa, built for Africa.
More than software, it is a conviction: every entrepreneur on this continent deserves tools worthy of their ambition.
Chapter 1 · November 2024
The MADATA story begins with a frustration.
On their first entrepreneurial venture, Marc, Stéphane and Félix faced a discouraging reality: business software that was expensive, hard to set up, and above all, with no real local support. The result? Constant brakes on their growth. Rather than putting up with it, they decided to act.
They set themselves an ambitious challenge: build the solution they would have dreamed of having, simple, accessible, designed for African entrepreneurs' realities. MADATA launched in November 2024.

Chapter 2 · One year later
Marc suddenly passes away.
Doubt sets in.
In the sky of this page,
the brightest star bears his name.
Chapter 3 · Relighting the engines
Félix and Stéphane choose to carry on.
It is in such moments that the strongest determination is born.
- For Marc.
- For the vision.
- For every entrepreneur facing the same challenges.
Because Madata is more than a company. It is a living legacy. A promise kept.
Chapter 4 · The crew
Two founders, one trajectory.
Stéphane knows the field, Félix builds the machine. One brings back what entrepreneurs go through, the other turns it into a tool. One sets the course, the other lights the engines. Together, they have been at the helm since day one.
Stéphane Lavri
Co-founder · in the field
An Ivorian entrepreneur and consultant, he lived through the very obstacles Madata sets out to remove. He carries the voice of entrepreneurs into every decision.
Félix de La Boissière
Co-founder · the engine room
He laid the technical foundations and builds the rocket stage by stage: the platform, the portal, the mobile app and Mia.
