Three pillars reflect our vision of fundamental needs :

Life essentials

Health - Aging - Financial inclusion - Housing - Nutrition

Human empowerment

Education - Professional learning - future of work - citizenship and democracy

Regenerative economy

Growth & development capital

We support you in unleashing your full potential across all your business lines: financial management, business development, team structuring, key recruitment, strategic thinking, etc. We step in where you need us, with pragmatism and high standards.

Understanding your mission, your model, and your challenges is essential to building a lasting partnership. We take the time to get to know you and understand your business before we even invest. We believe this is essential to building a relationship of trust.

We thus prefer to take on the role of lead or co-lead in financing rounds, so that we can be fully involved and provide decisive support for your growth.
