First, it has the advantage of being little dilutive for the founders who want to keep at least 70% of the company capital in anticipation of a significant new fundraise round. In addition, it expands our production and investment capacity in our Particeep Plug and Particeep Finstore products in order to respond immediately to growing demand in France and abroad. ” Steve Fogue, President and co-founder of Particeep.
” We were impressed by the professionalism of the management team and its ambition. As a bank, we have also been able to appreciate the quality and robustness of Particeep’s solutions, confirmed by renowned clients.
