Karista joined the Exotrail adventure in 2020 during our Series A fundraising, as one of the most active French VCs for tech & early-stage companies. We immediately hit it off with the teams. Over and above the obvious financial support, Karista understood and supported our company's great ambitions from day one. The fund remains at management's side to meet the many challenges of growth, and the relationship of trust established is remarkable.

As always, important events in the life of a startup are structuring for the company. These events can be: the response to calls for tenders, the implementation of the commercial strategy, the recruitment of managers and of course fundraising. The latter obviously has a financial interest for the startup, but beyond that, it allows an acceleration of development and therefore a modification of the project because it is rare that a company raises funds to continue doing things as before and it is rare that an investor agrees to fund a company not to change...

With Karista, RebrAIn was able to successfully raise significant funds allowing us to implement a structured development project over the next three years. For us founders, it is accepting that we do not have all the keys to carry out this development and accepting that others have more experience. For Karista it is adhering to the founders' project and betting on the 'team. This shows whether mutual trust is necessary to carry out the association successfully…

Beyond tangible contributions such as help in recruiting a CEO, structuring the project over three years, putting people in touch with other investors, Karista's contribution is mainly men and women who were able to give us their trust, as we gave them ours.

Catherine and the Karista teams have been with us since 2019 and have followed Incepto since its creation. When you launch an entrepreneurial venture, aligning an investor's values ​​with your company's culture creates great trust and increases their impact. At Incepto, we value expertise and humility, passion for healthcare, and integrity. These are the primary qualities that I would highlight for Karista.

Karista has provided immense value beyond capital, leveraging their extensive network to introduce us to leading medtech companies and hospitals. These connections have paved the way for new partnerships, significantly enhancing our growth and market reach.

As an innovative start-up, we know that achieving our ambitious goals requires partners who can provide strategic expertise and a clear vision for our future growth. With the Karista team, under the insightful leadership of Catherine Boule, we benefit from vast experience and invaluable strategic perspectives. This collaboration allows us to refine our strategy and navigate market challenges more effectively.

Beyond the strategic aspects, it's fundamentally about human relationships. What I particularly appreciate is the frank and transparent communication, as well as the genuine team spirit we've developed with Karista. Their support goes far beyond funding: they are true partners, invested in our success.

Karista is much more than just an investor for Ludocare. They bring a unique combination of strategic skills and human values essential for our growth and success.

As the founder of Miratlas, I am grateful to Karista for leading our first funding round.

Our partnership has been invaluable, not only to organize the syndicate but also to bring together an exceptional group of investors.

Their proactive involvement on our board has been a game-changer, providing strategic insights which significantly influenced our growth trajectory.

Moreover, their assistance in recruiting board members has strengthened our leadership team, positioning us for continued success.

Karista's unwavering support and expertise have been instrumental in our journey, and I look forward to achieving even greater milestones together.

As the CEO of LookUpSpace, I am deeply appreciative of our partnership with Karista. Leading our seed round, Karista played a pivotal role not only in securing initial funding but also in facilitating the participation of a German fund, which is crucial for our international expansion. Their active involvement has provided us with strategic and management insights that have significantly contributed to our development. Karista's expertise and guidance have been vital to our progress, and I am excited about the future milestones we will achieve together.
