Our mission

Contributing investment

I have always been passionate about entrepreneurship—the ability to create, challenge the status quo, and forge my own path. It means freeing oneself from external judgments to follow deep-seated beliefs, overcoming pervasive doubts and fears, embracing risk, acknowledging the possibility of failure, and embarking on a journey of self-discovery.

This vocation suited me perfectly. For over 20 years, across four intense entrepreneurial ventures—beginning with my first at 19—I thrived. However, when the prospect of a fifth venture arose, I wondered if it was time to approach things differently.

Throughout my journey, I yearned for an investor who spoke my language, someone I could confide in, who would assist me in making optimal decisions and elevate my performance. An investor who had navigated the same turbulent waters I faced—a true partner who could alleviate my solitude and serve as a decisive asset. Importantly, someone who had time for me.

I realized I could now embody that role: an investor-entrepreneur. I found purpose in helping others succeed by providing not only capital but also experience, insight, genuine kindness, ideas, convictions, time, and support. I aspired to fund companies with meaningful missions, those committed to the greater good and sharing a contributive vision. Success can be achieved with values and deep convictions, without compromising ethics, by choosing a purposeful path—a pursuit that instills pride.

Thus, Contribution was born—a contributive fund aligned with these values, never losing sight of purpose in the quest for performance.

Our approach is contributive in partnership, engaging constructively in vision development and problem-solving, elevating performance, pursuing the most direct routes to success, seeking innovative solutions and superior business models, and consistently thinking outside the box.

Contribution extends to our collaboration with Jean-Baptiste, a respected professional investor with whom I've shared numerous value-added financing rounds. By assembling leading shareholders, we form a collective of talent—a contributing collective.

Ultimately, our contribution lies in the projects we finance, driven by missions beyond mere profit. We undertake endeavors that are meaningful, ambitious in their pursuit of excellence, addressing genuine needs, and confronting societal and environmental challenges of our time with courage and clarity. We advocate for a positive vision of business, uphold strong values, and support sustainable models.
