**Founder:** Jean-Paul Lorendeau — Président de SAS (co-founder). Second dirigeant: Nicolas Gavoille, Directeur Général.
**Background:** clinician | verified: False — A clinician named Dr Jean-Paul Lorendeau exists and is a médecin généraliste (general practitioner) in the Bordeaux area (Doctolib, Sante.fr, FHF, lemedecin.fr all list him as a GP). This is consistent with the "clinician" claim FOR THE PERSON. However, I could not verify that this clinician is the Président/co-founder of a company called "CANDIDE SANTE." No entity named "CANDIDE SANTE" was found in French business registries (Pappers/Societe.com); the existing "CANDIDE S.A.S." companies have entirely different dirigeants (e.g. Jean-François Picard/Marie-Hélène Ranc), not Lorendeau or Gavoille. Nicolas Gavoille could not be linked to any Candide Santé either (results point to unrelated people: a hospital staffer, an economist).
**Stage / fundraise:** Pre-seed / formation stage. SAS incorporated 2026-06-04 (days old at sourcing), NAF 62.01Z (computer programming / software publishing), 0 employees (tranche NN), single establishment in central Bordeaux. / None confirmed. No press, no public round, no website. Company is only weeks old; no fundraising signal found online.
**Regulatory trigger:** Likely. NAF 62.01Z (software publishing) under a clinician-led "Santé" entity in a SaMD-heavy ecosystem strongly suggests a digital-health/SaMD product — which would put MDR / IEC 62304 / CE-marking on the critical path. Product specifics and exact regulatory class are NOT yet public (company too new), so the trigger is inferred, not confirmed.
**Email:** (confidence none) — No published email for CANDIDE SANTE (no website, no press). The founder is reachable via his medical-practice channels (CMSI Bordeaux / Doctolib) and LinkedIn, but those are clinical/personal and not a published company address — no verified pattern exists, so no guess is made.
**LinkedIn:** https://www.linkedin.com/in/jean-paul-lorendeau/ **Website:**
**Score:** 11 -> Tier A
**Hook:** Jean-Paul is a Bordeaux clinician who has already built real healthcare operations (CMSI immediate-care centers via CKLR) and has now launched CANDIDE SANTE to build software — a domain expert without an in-house engineering team or CTO. OmDev gives him exactly that: a senior dev team plus a dedicated CTO at a fixed monthly price ~3x cheaper than hiring in-house, with the code owned by Candide. And if Candide is SaMD, OmDev's pipeline produces the MDR/IEC 62304 compliance evidence (signed SOUP register per build + requirements-to-code-to-test traceability) so a clinician-founder doesn't have to assemble regulatory engineering from zero. Reference clients CadSmile and SpeechLink are directly analogous health products.

## Founder & background
**Jean-Paul Lorendeau** (Président, né 09/1985) is a **médecin généraliste in Bordeaux** AND a **serial healthcare entrepreneur**: co-founder/dirigeant (with G.-A. Kaskas) of **CKLR Bordeaux** (créé 2024) and **CKLR Saint-Aubin** (créé 2023), the operators of the **CMSI immediate-care medical centers** ([API](https://recherche-entreprises.api.gouv.fr/search?q=CKLR); [France Bleu](https://www.francebleu.fr/emissions/l-info-d-ici-ici-gironde/quand-les-deserts-medicaux-touchent-aussi-les-metropoles-un-centre-medical-de-soins-immediats-ouvre-a-bordeaux-1470669)).
Strong clinical + healthcare-operations credibility; no evidence of software/engineering depth ([Doctolib](https://www.doctolib.fr/medecin-specialiste-en-medecine-generale/saint-aubin-de-medoc/jean-paul-lorendeau); [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/in/jean-paul-lorendeau/)).
Co-founder **Nicolas Gavoille** (DG, né 05/1992) — individual background unverified online; the team's technical/CTO capability is unconfirmed.

## Funding & momentum
SAS incorporated **2026-06-04** — days old at sourcing — single establishment, 8 B rue Chabrely, central Bordeaux, **0 employees** ([API](https://recherche-entreprises.api.gouv.fr/search?q=105972772)).
**No fundraise confirmed**: no website, no press, no public round found. Pure pre-seed / formation stage.
Momentum is the founder's repeat pattern: he keeps launching healthcare ventures (2014 EI → CKLR 2023/2024 → Candide 2026).

## Product & regulatory
**Product not yet public** (too new). NAF **62.01Z** (software publishing) under a clinician-led "Santé" entity → almost certainly a **digital-health / SaMD product**, plausibly tied to his CMSI immediate-care experience ([API](https://recherche-entreprises.api.gouv.fr/search?q=105972772)).
If SaMD, **MDR / IEC 62304 / CE-marking** sit on the critical path — inferred, not yet confirmed.

## Pain & buying signals
**No CTO** (clinician President; DG's tech depth unverified), **no dev team** (effectif NN), brand-new SAS with zero engineering footprint.
A clinician-founder building software from scratch is the textbook profile for needing an external senior team + dedicated CTO, and for under-resourced regulatory engineering ahead of a CE milestone.

**Why OmDev fits:** OmDev drops in a senior dev team + a dedicated CTO at a fixed monthly price ~3x cheaper than hiring in-house (Candide owns the code), with a compliance engine (signed SOUP register per build + requirements-to-code-to-test traceability feeding the IEC 62304/MDR file) — exactly what a clinician-founder with no CTO needs, as already delivered for health products CadSmile and SpeechLink.
