This year, we're offering you the opportunity to invest in convertible bonds with an annual interest rate of 10%. Investing in a convertible bond is like lending money to a company, so it's only natural that you should receive a slightly larger share over time. Subsequently, usually after a further fund-raising operation, your convertible bonds are converted into shares at a preferential value discounted by 30%.
To find out more about convertible bonds, visit this page.

It's not a donation, but an investment. Equity crowdfunding enables a large number of people to pool their money to support a company they believe in, via a regulated online platform.
Like all social applications, mapstr 's strength lies in its community. And it's thanks to this community, and therefore thanks to you, that we've been able to build our Mapstr Matching algorithm, which heralds the second life of mapstr.
It's therefore only natural that we should once again invite you to play a full part in this new adventure, by becoming shareholders in mapstr alongside us, to enable us to write this new page together. The power of the community is at the heart of mapstr's effectiveness.
Crowdcube is a regulated European platform that enables private companies to attract investment from professionals and venture capitalists, as well as ordinary investors like you. It has facilitated crowdfunding for Vestiaire Collectif, Finary, Qonto, 900.care and many others. To find out more about Crowdcube, click here.
The campaign will be open to the general public in March 2024. The exact date will be announced in the next few days. Don't forget to pre-register for a sneak preview of the launch date, so you can invest before anyone else.
To invest on Crowdcube, you must be over 18 and legally authorized to invest. You must also be a resident of a country where you can legally benefit from financial promotions such as those offered. If you are unsure whether you can invest through Crowdcube in your country, seek legal advice before opening an account.
Crowdcube cannot advertise investment opportunities to people residing in the United States, Canada, Japan or any other country where it would be illegal to advertise their opportunities. If you reside in these countries, unfortunately you cannot register on their site.
When creating your account, please make sure you register with your name, as we cannot accept joint investments. You'll also need to indicate your investor type (apprentice or professional) and answer a short questionnaire. Crowdcube just wants to make sure you understand the high-risk nature of investing in startups and young companies.
The minimum amount is around €10. We want to make participation in the project as accessible as possible.
We want you to be aware of your investment and understand when you can expect a financial return on your shares. In the short term, we plan to reinvest retained earnings to help us grow.In the longer term, there are several ways to realize a return on your investment, either if we go public, if we start buying back shares from investors, or if there are other liquidity events to come. All options are currently open, but whatever happens, you will be participating in our future. As with any investment, there is a risk that you may lose your entire investment. Please invest with full knowledge of the facts.
A convertible bond is an investment in shares of a company whose shares will be issued at a later date. In general, the shares will be issued when the company raises a larger amount of capital. Find out more about convertible bonds.
Companies tend to raise funds via a convertible bond as part of a broader financing strategy. A convertible bond allows a company to raise equity capital without fixing a valuation - the valuation will be fixed by the next investment round or at an agreed valuation on a cut-off date.
By investing in a convertible round, you invest early in the company, and the value of your shares is higher than that of the next round. As an investor, you benefit from 10% annual interest and a 30% discount on the next round when the shares are issued.
