Telling the story of ten years and 5,000+ startups in a 74-page global report, planned, written and designed from scratch

OVHcloud is Europe's leading cloud provider, running more than 450,000 servers across 44 data centres for 1.6 million customers. Since 2015, its Startup Program has given more than 5,000 startups and scale-ups in 130+ countries free cloud credits, technical support and a community to grow with.

In 2025 the program turned ten. OVHcloud wanted to mark the milestone with a global report that celebrated the startups it had backed, thanked the partners who made it possible, and set out its ambitions for the decade ahead.

Challenge

There was no existing report to update, and no template to follow. The story had to cover a decade of growth, nine regions, thousands of startups and more than 100 ecosystem partners, while staying readable for founders, investors and OVHcloud's own teams.

It also had to work hard for the program: explaining how it works and who it's for, proving its impact with data, and making new startups want to apply.

Solution

We planned, wrote and designed the whole report from a blank page. We shaped the structure into six chapters, from the program's history and how it works to its impact and what comes next, and built each one around a clear narrative.

Research and interviews with the global team and founders, turned into ten startup spotlights
Regional reports for all nine regions, pairing data with local stories and quotes
Data storytelling that turns a decade of numbers into clear, visual highlights
Editorial design in OVHcloud's brand, with a tenth-anniversary identity carried through all 74 pages

The result is a report that works as a celebration, a thank you and a recruitment tool for the next generation of startups.
