On 17 June 2025, at the Hôtel de Matignon in Paris, Molleau received two awards at the French national 101 Women Entrepreneurs competition.
- Paris winner
- Île-de-France Jury's Favourite
The competition, held under the auspices of the French government, brings together each year the most promising women entrepreneurs in France, from every region and every sector. To be honoured twice is to join a cohort you do not come away from unchanged.
Molleau, in a few words
We develop the Molleaumètre, a connected, self-powered water meter that fits directly onto the shower hose. It displays consumption in real time through a colour-coded light. No constraint and no guilt: simply visual awareness, grounded in behavioural science and boost theory.
Measured in real conditions: 23% less water per shower, with no action required from the user. The Molleaumètre is now deployed in student residences and is being rolled out with hotel operators.
Curious to see the Molleaumètre in action?
Whether you run a residence, a hotel or a housing portfolio, let's take thirty minutes to talk about your water use and how to reduce it, simply.
What these two awards mean
A significant moment, professionally and personally. Being surrounded by women entrepreneurs from across France, building useful solutions at every scale, is both inspiring and grounding. You feel recognised, and you feel part of something larger than your own startup.
Beyond the emotion, the awards had very concrete effects: visibility, invitations, mentoring and introductions. All of them levers to grow Molleau and accelerate its rollout.
