Dear Citizenfund supporter,<\/h4>\n

We are still going strong, 2 months after the launch of our campaign, and 3 years after our very first investments!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\ud83d\uddd3\ufe0f SAVE THE DATE 23\/11\/2021<\/strong>\u00a0– We are launching a new type of evening: entrepreneurial challenges<\/a>! For this first edition, Aur\u00e9lien 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!<\/p>\n

\ud83c\udf31 +2 companies funded<\/strong> – 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<\/a>\u00a0relays this news. Both projects are still raising funds on\u00a0Lita.co<\/a>, where you can take advantage of a 45% tax shelter.<\/p>\n

\ud83d\udc6f +6 cooperators & +4.000 \u20ac<\/strong> – In October, our campaign continues to bear fruit. We have been joined by 6 new co-operators who have invested \u20ac4,000. Welcome! We pass the 210 cooperators mark.<\/p>\n

\ud83d\udc44\ud83d\udc42 45%<\/strong> – 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 \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n
