Looking back on the first half of 2021, the Grasp team is delighted to share some of our highlights with you.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><span class=\"has-inline-color has-black-color\">Let\u2019s talk numbers<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Grasp was founded at the end of 2020. When 2021 started, we were almost looking at 0 for most metrics. After 6 months of hard work, we now have\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong><span class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-cyan-blue-color\">12<\/span><\/strong> platforms integrated, across social, programmatic and search<\/li><li><strong><span class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-cyan-blue-color\">250<\/span><\/strong> active advertisers&nbsp;in direct or through agencies<\/li><li><strong><span class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-cyan-blue-color\">380<\/span><\/strong> users from different parts of the world<\/li><li><strong><span class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-cyan-blue-color\">500<\/span><\/strong> guidelines created by our clients<\/li><li><strong><span class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-cyan-blue-color\">2000<\/span><\/strong> alerts sent&nbsp;<\/li><li><strong><span class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-cyan-blue-color\">$105M<\/span><\/strong> media spend protected<\/li><li><strong><span class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-cyan-blue-color\">Countless <\/span><\/strong>mistakes prevented<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It took sweat and lots of sleepless nights, but we find it incredibly meaningful and rewarding. Knowing and seeing with our own eyes that our solution helps our clients maximize their business margin and identify immediate improvement opportunities everyday, motivates us constantly. And\u2026 this is only the beginning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">We joined the HEC Paris Incubator Program<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Grasp was selected among 14 start ups out of hundreds of applicants to join the Spring Batch of the HEC Incubator Program (click <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.grasp.gg\/2021\/04\/grasp-kicks-off-day-1-at-hec-paris-incubator-program\/\">here<\/a> for more details). Through the incubator program, the Grasp team was able to connect with successful fellow entrepreneurs and prominent business figures across different industries.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We wanted to thank all the people we spoke with through the incubator program in the last months, for your advice, ideas and contributions. Each one of you has helped shape a bit of Grasp, and we couldn\u2019t have achieved the numbers above without you.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The team is growing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Grasp team is no longer just the 4 founders. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/olivier-hamon\/\">Oliver Hamon<\/a> has joined the Grasp team as a Full Stack Engineer, and altogether the Grasp team had an offsite in the lovely French countryside. Coming up in August, we are welcoming the 6th member of our team. Stay tuned for an HR update in the coming weeks!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.grasp.gg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/IMG_6187-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-273\" srcset=\"https:\/\/grasp.gg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/IMG_6187-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/grasp.gg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/IMG_6187-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/grasp.gg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/IMG_6187-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/grasp.gg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/IMG_6187-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/grasp.gg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/IMG_6187-800x600.jpg 800w, https:\/\/grasp.gg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/IMG_6187.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With Q3 started, the Grasp team is already packed with pilots and innovations tasks.
