France: Tudigo & Sowefund – Strong Deal Flow and Tax-Efficient Investing 🇫🇷

Tudigo continues to push a mix of impact, innovation and tax-efficient equity deals:

• A new biotech from CEA to big pharma is about to open its round on Tudigo, with 400+ investors pre-registered in 24h and up to 50% tax reduction on the amount invested – positioned as a flagship life-science opportunity for 2025.

• Another upcoming off-market prime hypermarket deal in Greater Geneva is attracting heavy interest, with hundreds of investors and strong intention volumes in just hours – a classic “club deal immobilier” designed for income-seeking investors.

• Existing campaigns like Velco (connected bike tech) and Julienne (local convenience retail) show strong traction: Velco rapidly hit its minimum €400k target with 160+ investors, while Julienne has raised over €51k from 30 investors alongside store expansion in the Paris region.

• Tudigo also showcased Le Rouge Français (clean beauty brand, international expansion) and Blue Bees Therapeutics (immunotherapy biotech), with deadlines approaching and fiscal incentives (up to 18–50% tax reduction) clearly highlighted.

• On the platform UX side, Tudigo has redesigned its opportunity pages to make key information (team, technology, business model, risks) easier to navigate – a direct improvement for retail investors comparing deals on the platform.

Sowefund is equally active in French early-stage and deeptech:

• Oktoscience is raising on Sowefund with an AI-enhanced VNS implant for treatment-resistant epilepsy, targeting a €10.7bn neuromodulation market and backed by patents, iLab recognition and JEI tax status (30% income tax reduction).

• Losonnante offers a patented bone-conduction audio solution for museums and public spaces, already used by flagship clients such as Mont Saint-Michel, BMW, L’Oréal and JCDecaux – an attractive play on the cultural & creative industries.

• Invesdor DACH is simultaneously running brand-building campaigns debunking “5 myths of crowdinvesting” and Halloween-themed calls to shift capital from low-yield savings to sustainable, high-impact corporate bonds and loans on the platform.

CONDA Capital Group combines sectoral content with active deal promotion:

• The team launched an industry-wide survey on financing and digitalisation in tourism & leisure, aiming to inform future crowdinvesting structures for hotels and tourism assets.

• Multiple posts invite investors to webinars and pitch events, notably:

  • A Roatel micro-hotel webinar explaining why modular micro-hotels could be a structural growth theme.

  • A dedicated webinar with Crowd Ukraine Invest AG and GROPYUS, explaining how equity financing can support reconstruction projects in Western Ukraine via real-estate developments, highlighting both impact and return potential.

Companisto continues to act as a major German equity platform for tech and biotech:

• Peeriot (Fraunhofer spin-off) has opened its angel round, enabling cloud-less, resilient IoT networks where machines coordinate locally without central servers. Institutional investors such as TGFS and BMT have already committed €1.5m, and retail investors can still join Phase 1 before it closes.

• PerioTrap Pharmaceuticals is in Phase 2 of its round, targeting a new treatment for periodontitis that preserves the healthy microbiome, with co-investment by bmp Ventures and entry tickets from €250 – an example of deep biotech crowd-institutional syndication.

• Cellbox Solutions raised significant capital from Companisto Angels for its “Warmchain” cell-transport technology, reducing cell death vs classic cold transport, with gamified marketing via a “Neuron Tamagotchi” that lets users simulate keeping cells alive.

• Upcoming is UV Energy, converting parking lots into power plants with modular solar carports – a pure-play on decentralised solar infrastructure that will soon go live as a full equity round on Companisto.

Crowdberry (Slovakia/Czech Republic) leans heavily into real estate and growth SMEs:

• On the real-estate side, Crowdberry is promoting a fully leased logistics hall near Prague with expected double-digit yields and strong tenant profile, alongside a first credit-type investment into the residential project “Gutovka” in Prague – letting investors co-finance a live development in a high-demand market.

• Crowdberry is also hosting large webinars on how to invest in real estate without owning a buy-to-let flat, covering residential markets in Prague and Bratislava, office-to-residential conversions and current yield expectations.

• The platform announced “Women & Wealth by Crowdberry”, an event focused on female investors and leaders, featuring former Slovak president Zuzana Čaputová, signaling a strong ESG and gender-equality positioning.

• As taxes and regulation tighten, Crowdberry is rolling out digitally native bonds under the EU DLT Pilot Regime, offering corporate loans and digital bonds for companies like Boataround and Eyerim in CZK and EUR – a big structural platform update for fixed-income-oriented investors.

FunderNation (Germany) keeps building a niche in energy transition and impact:

• The platform is promoting an online event “Pioneers of the New Energy World” featuring three portfolio companies: HEIONTEC (power from ambient heat), paXos Solar (integrated solar roofs providing power and heat) and CYTOK (power-to-gas technology turning surplus green electricity into synthetic gas).

• Kitepower, a flying-kite wind power company, is showcased at TU Delft’s “Flying Solo” exhibition and on a themed tram between Delft and The Hague – a strong branding push for its live campaign on FunderNation.

• FunderNation launched a two-question investor satisfaction survey rewarding participants with investment vouchers, and continues to position HEIONTEC as a core deal targeting decentralised energy security via “autonomous cells”.
