Get up to €600 compensation for your flight cancellation, delay or overbooking.
Why have we founded Oui Reward ?
We all have experienced a damage during a flight… This bad experience is not a fatality ! Indeed, the European Regulation 261/2004 assures a right to compensation which can get up to €600 per passenger !
The statement is the following : in 2016, 9 claims out of 10 made by a private individual ended up with a refusal. Why such a low success rate ? Because airlines take advantage of their position to set up long and complex procedures.
Here is when Oui Reward step in ! Our start-up guarantees a 95% success rate thanks to our expertise of the regulation, our legal assistance and an optimization of all the processes.
What is Oui Reward ?
Oui Reward is a fresh new service of indemnity recovery. Our desire is to be the first recovery agency without hidden fees. At Oui Reward, no transaction fees, no lawyers fees and above all a no win no fee policy.
How does it work ?
3 minutes. This is all we are asking for. Through our website, www.ouireward.com, you need to fill in the form. Then… ? Nothing else ! Only wait that your indemnity gets transferred to your bank account. This is the promise of Oui Reward.

Mustard Seed actively looks for, invests in and supports young social business startups with the potential to generate commercial returns, alongside significant and sustainable positive outcomes in the areas of:
• environmental sustainability
• education
• family and community
• health
• economic inclusion
The support is aimed at helping to grow businesses that fill gaps currently unaddressed by government and industry, and enable young startups to turn into world-class businesses.
We call this approach ‘lock-step.’
As an early-stage investor, we take the long view. Mustard Seed’s Member Network, Venture Fund, and events at many of the world’s leading universities combine for a new and robust approach to making sure the best ventures get off the ground and soar.

First classmates then colleagues, Mustard Seed founders Alex Pitt and Henry Wigan first met at the London School of Economics before working together at Goldman Sachs in the UK, USA and Middle East. Noting a rising appetite for entrepreneurship among talented graduates keen to pursue socially and environmentally impactful businesses but a critical lack of seed capital to match, the duo co-founded Mustard Seed in 2014 to bridge the gap. The aim of Mustard Seed is to enable social enterprise and empower entrepreneurs who want to push traditional boundaries in business.
