October 2021 Newsletter

Dear Citizenfund supporter,

We are still going strong, 2 months after the launch of our campaign, and 3 years after our very first investments!

🗓️ SAVE THE DATE 23/11/2021 – We are launching a new type of evening: entrepreneurial challenges! For this first edition, Aurélien and Ludovic will come and present you a Happy Hours Market challenge. Come and shake your brains, get out your address books and your good plans, they will need you!

🌱 +2 companies funded – On 5 October, we introduced you to Hyppy and Yuman. You decided to finance them with 77% and 96% of positive votes respectively (26% participation rate). La Libre relays this news. Both projects are still raising funds on Lita.co, where you can take advantage of a 45% tax shelter.

👯 +6 cooperators & +4.000 € – In October, our campaign continues to bear fruit. We have been joined by 6 new co-operators who have invested €4,000. Welcome! We pass the 210 cooperators mark.

👄👂 45% – This is the rate of new cooperators joining us through word of mouth! That’s almost 1 in 2 people, and that’s huge! We count on you 😉



🕵️‍♀️ Our investments

🚴 urbike offers you a partnership with Filigranes and Les Petits Riens: for each book order at Filigranes, you will be delivered with urbike (until then, it’s normal) and will have the opportunity to give your old clothes, books or toys to the courier in aid of Les Petits Riens.
