Company mission
To empower talented artisans by providing them with a platform to showcase their unique skills through manual workshops.
Our take
With a view to facilitating a more creative world, Wecandoo supplies a platform through which artisans can arrange workshops in their craft, that enthusiasts can then browse and book.
The platform acts as any other experiences marketplace, but hosts a rather unique range of workshops in skills from stone carving and welding to making your own clay masks or fermented soft drinks. This unique asset sets them aside from a few of their competitors.
Since launch, the company has grown to operate a network of over 2,000 artisans, and has expanded form its native France into Belgium, the Netherlands and the UK. Each month, it facilitates roughly €1m million of sales to its artisan community, which will only expand as it grows its footprint in new territories.
