We are delighted to have Citizen Capital as our partner since our very beginning. They know how to challenge us with kindness and humanity, supporting us through every stage of an exciting and challenging entrepreneurial adventure. We are very happy to be on this journey together!
From the pre-investment phase onwards, Citizen Capital supported us in structuring our mission, culminating in our transition to a mission-driven company in 2024.
This approach enabled us to align governance, teams, and strategic direction with the invaluable support of our mission committee. Since then, the mission has been a powerful lever for internal cohesion, which has been particularly valuable in the context of our international development.
