NEWSLETTER OCTOBER 2020

? New projects to be presented !

Our Selection Committee has decided to present 2 new projects on Monday 16 November 2020 at 6pm: ? Sonian Wood Coo and ? Entusia.

Come and meet (digitally) these 2 entrepreneurs, discover their projects and ask them all your questions. Our co-operators will then have 10 days to decide on the financing of these 2 additional social startups! If more than 50% of them are in favour of the projects, our investment fund will finance them. It’s as simple as that!

The evening is open to all! And if, in the meantime, you are convinced by the functioning and the merits of the Citizenfund and you become a cooperator-investor, you will even have the opportunity to vote for the financing of Sonian Wood Coop and Entusia
