Instead of reselling the rates of one big carrier, the company reports that it holds direct contracts with national postal services in 23 countries, bundles many merchants’ parcels together on the same routes, clears customs for each route in one consolidated process, and bills by the exact gram. Customers are e-commerce merchants — from small shops on a free plan to large ones such as the second-hand retailer Momox, which the company reports has generated about €500,000 of revenue with pakajo in 2026 so far. Pakajo earns a margin of a reported 20–25% on each shipment (illustration from the deck: buy postage at €11.40, sell at €15.00), and plans to add subscription plans (€29–€249 per month) from late 2026. Revenue was €2.2M in 2024 and €3.1M in 2025, with 1.6 million shipments processed to date and 441 active shipping routes. This raise funds the customs and pricing technology, more country and carrier integrations, country-specific sales teams, and working capital for growing volumes — the pack we reviewed does not break the spending down into euro amounts.</span></span></p> <h1><span style="font-size:16pt"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><span style="color:#2e74b5">📈 The returns picture</span></span></span></h1> <table cellspacing="0" class="Table" style="border-collapse:collapse; border:none; width:6.5in"> <tbody> <tr> <td style="background-color:#f4f2ec; border-bottom:1px solid black; border-left:1px solid black; border-right:1px solid black; border-top:1px solid black; vertical-align:top; width:180px"> <p><span style="font-size:10pt"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><strong><span style="color:black">The target</span></strong></span></span></p> </td> <td style="border-bottom:1px solid black; border-left:none; border-right:1px solid black; border-top:1px solid black; vertical-align:top; width:444px"> <p><span style="font-size:10pt"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">≈7.8× (stated as “80% per year” and “676% total return”) over ≈3.5 years, with an exit anticipated in 2029.

Whether that is “within the range of recorded exits” cannot be said either way: no exit values are on record.

These figures do not include dilution from future fundraising rounds, which would reduce actual returns — see the dilution section.

The certificates track the value of those shares: if Pakajo pays dividends or is sold at a profit, the money flows through the vehicle to you (after its fees and Companisto’s profit share). You have no direct say in Pakajo itself; certificate holders vote online, one vote per certificate, and the vehicle then votes in the company as a single block following the majority. The certificates sit in a normal securities account at your bank or broker and can in principle be transferred; Companisto also runs a secondary market — but there is no guarantee of finding a buyer, and you cannot ordinarily cancel the certificates before the end of 2041.

The certificates are booked into your own securities account via Clearstream and carry their own securities identification number. You are not a shareholder of Pakajo and have no direct rights in the company; instead, certificate holders vote online (one certificate, one vote) on matters that need shareholder decisions, and the vehicle then casts all its votes in Pakajo as one block following that majority. Selling the vehicle’s stake in Pakajo normally needs 75% of certificate votes cast — except where the drag-along applies or the buyer is a Companisto-affiliated company, in which cases no certificate-holder consent is needed (certificate terms, §2.3.3).</span></span></p> <h2><span style="font-size:13pt"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><span style="color:#2e74b5">Dilution — how your share can shrink</span></span></span></h2> <p><span style="font-size:10pt"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">No concrete next round is announced, but the documents prepare for one: a 90% majority of shareholders and investors can oblige everyone to cooperate with a future financing (shareholders’ agreement, §26), and “authorised capital 2026” lets management issue further shares. Protection: the vehicle’s share class holds standard weighted-average anti-dilution protection for 24 months — if new shares are later sold cheaper, the vehicle may buy extra shares at face value to soften the loss. It also holds a right of first refusal if an existing shareholder sells (§10); a right to join future capital increases is not stated for certificate holders. An employee share pool of ≈4.10% already sits in the disclosed ownership table. Illustrative example: if the company later raised €3M at a €20M pre-money valuation, all existing holders — including the vehicle — would be diluted by ≈13%, so a 9.9% stake would become ≈8.6%; the anti-dilution clause only compensates if the new price is lower than this round’s, not merely dilutive.</span></span></p> <h2><span style="font-size:13pt"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><span style="color:#2e74b5">If the company is sold or wound down</span></span></span></h2> <p><span style="font-size:10pt"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">Payout order in a sale: sale costs and the company’s creditors first; then this round’s investors (Pre-Series A2) get their paid-in money back; then the earlier Pre-Series A investors get theirs; then the Seed investors; then everything remaining is split among all shareholders in proportion to ownership — and each class’s priority repayment is counted against its proportional share, not added on top (a “simple, creditable liquidation preference”, shareholders’ agreement §14). In plain terms: you are paid back first if the sale is small, and you take your normal proportional share if the sale is large — your upside is not capped. Forced sale (“drag-along”): a 75% majority including the investor majority can force everyone to sell; the floor for this round’s investors is only their paid-in money back (§12.2 — “at least equal to the par value of the amounts paid in … plus all additional payments”), so a forced sale at roughly 1× is legally possible. From year six, a simple majority can trigger a formal sale process at a minimum of 1.5× (§18.3). Tag-along: if others sell, you can join on the same terms. Founder lock-up: two years. Inside the certificate: payments are only owed while the vehicle stays solvent (a “qualified subordination” with a pre-insolvency enforcement bar — in a bad scenario your claims can become permanently unenforceable, certificate terms §3.2); if Pakajo becomes insolvent, Companisto Holding may buy back all certificates at a price it sets, “generally … only a symbolic sum”, with any later recoveries passed back to you (§9). Ordinary cancellation of the certificates is possible earliest at the end of fiscal year 2041 and only jointly by holders of at least 25% of all certificates; in practice, your exit is a company sale or Companisto’s secondary market.</span></span></p> <h2><span style="font-size:13pt"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><span style="color:#2e74b5">Terms not in the pack we reviewed</span></span></span></h2> <ul> <li><span style="font-size:10pt"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">The exact ownership percentage this round’s vehicle acquires, and the number of company shares behind each €50 certificate.</span></span></li> <li><span style="font-size:10pt"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">The catalogue of founder guarantees given to the vehicle (“adequate guarantees in line with market standards” is stated; the content is not).</span></span></li> <li><span style="font-size:10pt"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">The Key Investment Information Sheet itself (referenced at companisto.com/bib; not in the pack).</span></span></li> <li><span style="font-size:10pt"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">Confirmation that this specific security is tradeable on Companisto’s secondary market.</span></span></li> <li><span style="font-size:10pt"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">How the round’s hard cap works between the €1.1M goal and the stated “up to €2M” ambition.</span></span></li> </ul> <table cellspacing="0" class="Table" style="border-collapse:collapse; border:none; width:6.5in"> <tbody> <tr> <td style="background-color:#e6f1fb; border-bottom:1px solid black; border-left:1px solid black; border-right:1px solid black; border-top:1px solid black; vertical-align:top; width:624px"> <p><span style="font-size:10pt"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><strong><span style="color:black">ℹ️ This is not investment advice. </span></strong><span style="color:black">The purpose of this overview is to help potential investors preselect crowdfunding projects quickly.
