Citizen Capital is a pioneer fund in impact investing.

Our investment areas

We support companies with an ambitious social or environmental mission, from the seed stage to growth and development capital. We have built a strong experience through the success of our portfolio companies. We are now looking for new iconic companies that will shape tomorrow's society.


We continue to explore new ways to finance major human needs. Bringing capital to farmers is the first of several projects underway.

Early stage

We look for mission-native high-potential startups with market-validated solutions, ready to accelerate their go-to-market (Seed to Series A).

Growth & Expansion

We support high-growth and more mature companies, either natively mission-driven or on their path, aiming to reach a significant size and impact.
