The notebook — 2026

A startup isn’t just a SaaS licence. Here’s the behind-the-scenes of Orizen: TV appearances, the launch at Quai des Savoirs, CPME conventions, the J'AGIPI competition — told unfiltered.

I BFM Business studio

Orizen on BFM Business, Trajectoire show — 13 January 2026.

Two minutes to explain why an SME manager doesn’t need fifteen tools. The ForgeTheWeb team on the Trajectoire set to talk about Orizen: how the idea was born, what we’re building, and who it’s for.

Our appearance on BFM Business marks Orizen’s first major public statement — an opportunity to set the scene: a modular French software, designed for SMEs, powered by AI and built to refocus daily work on what matters.

II Forum TV studio

StartUp Occitanie: Orizen, the team and the vision.

On Forum TV, in the StartUp Occitanie section, we took the time to explain what Orizen is — beyond the product pitch. The team, the region, the modular model, French sovereignty.

This passage is a good starting point to understand why we’re building Orizen: a 100% French management software, designed in Occitanie, that brings together CRM, invoicing, accounting and AI in one cohesive platform.

III Official launch

19 March 2026 — Orizen launch at the Quai des Savoirs.

Around sixty guests, a stage, two speeches, a touch of emotion. Orizen’s launch evening at Quai des Savoirs in Toulouse brought together partners, beta testers, early customers and the local tech ecosystem to officially mark the transition from ForgeTheWeb to Orizen.

Among the guests, Bertrand Serp, municipal councillor for innovation and digital at Toulouse City Hall and Metropole — a strong supporter of Occitanie’s entrepreneurial ecosystem.

On LinkedIn, we summed it up in a few words: "Great energy, great encounters, and above all a new concrete step in the Orizen adventure."

IV Press coverage

Two articles telling the same story — from two different angles.

La Mêlée and Midenews covered Orizen at launch and beyond. Two complementary perspectives: the Toulouse ecosystem supporting our commercialisation, and a broader analysis of the 'digital mental load' faced by SMEs.

Orizen, the Toulouse-based ERP aiming to ease the mental load for SMEs

"CRM, quotes, invoices, spreadsheets, emails, e-signatures: for SMEs, it’s not tools that are lacking. What’s missing is a thread to connect them. With Orizen, ForgeTheWeb aims to tackle this 'digital bureaucracy' that masquerades as progress…"
