Poolhouse is a French startup founded in 2017 with a mission to revolutionize the egg industry. The company's slogan, "L'œuf qui ne tue pas la poule !," reflects its commitment to ethical and sustainable practices in poultry farming. Poulehouse produces eggs that are guaranteed to be produced without causing any harm to hens, addressing the issue of mass culling of male chicks in the industry.
The company works with organic farmers and implements a process that respects the lives of the hens. Unlike traditional egg production methods, Poulehouse ensures that hens can live a full and natural life without being sent to slaughter after they reach a certain age. The startup introduced the concept of "La Maison des Poules," a refuge for older hens from partner farms, allowing them to live out their natural lifespan.
With a recent €3.50M Venture Round investment led by Jaina Capital in November 2019, Poolhouse continues to gain traction in the agriculture industry. The company's transparent pricing of approximately €5.99 for a box of six eggs reflects its commitment to reinvesting all operational costs back into the production process, showcasing a dedication to ethical and sustainable practices.
