TESTIMONIALS

Fabrice BOHIN

Chief Executive Officer - Algaia

“We believe in you and your management team, so we decided to allocate even more funds than you requested.” I will never forget those words spoken by Celia Hart and Régis Saleur from SuperNovaInvest back in 2014 when Algaia did not even exist; it was just a start-up with another name, with the goal of completely reinventing the algae space.
Today, Algaia has revenue of about €20 million, 100 people, and at least double-digit growth. It was named “Entrepreneur of the Year – Born Global” by E&Y in 2018, and has three locations in France where it develops, produces, and sells algae extracts for food, cosmetics, plant health, and medical device applications in more than 45 countries worldwide.”

Édouard Rudolf

CEO - En Voiture Simone
“Supernova’s teams made themselves available so that our two entities could quickly establish a trusting, productive relationship. Supernova brings its network and in-depth knowledge of the financing chain to the table, and also provides motivational and practical advice on a daily basis.”

Aurélien Lugardon

CEO - Naskeo
“Beyond its financial interest, Supernova Invest’s team has been a true partner at critical moments in our development. Whether for sensitive negotiations, network mobilization, or strategic discussions at board meetings, we know we can count on them to understand our issues and provide constructive support.”

Hugo Ricard

CEO & Co-Founder - Blue Valet
“In addition to its financial support, Supernova Invest prepared a detailed analysis of our market and immediately understood our challenges. Our discussions with the Supernova Invest team therefore add a lot of value and serve our common goal: to grow the company!”

Hamid Lamraoui

CEO, PHD – UROMEMS
“Supernova Invest identified our company’s strong potential and that of our target market at an early stage. Its deep understanding of our business, technology, and sector has been key to providing us with effective support and ensuring that its contribution has not been limited to financial support alone. We have also greatly appreciated Celia’s sensitivity to the human element and to the relationship with the founders.”

Fabrice Romano

FOUNDER AND CEO OF KERANOVA – FOUNDER OF EYETECHCARE
“The success of a deep tech project, which is by nature long, complex, and high risk, depends on many key factors coming together. From the very first day, these factors have determined the project’s trajectory and outcome. Choosing the right investor is one of the most important decisions to be made. If, like Supernova, this investor can quickly grasp all the facets of a complex project, because it has a high level of experience and understanding, and if it is ready to take the plunge even when the risk remains high, the project starts with a major advantage that will determine much of what happens next…”

Fabio Ferrari

FOUNDER AND CEO – SYMBIOFCELL
“Unlike many investment funds, which are often heavy on the financial side, Supernova Invest is closely involved in its investments, with a real capacity for technological analysis and detailed knowledge of the environmental progress market in which we operate. Their advice goes beyond finance and is extremely valuable, particularly when the issues and situations become complex.”

Paul Boudre

CEO - Soitec
“We have strong ties to the CEA, which has supported our research and development since our foundation. When we found ourselves in financial difficulty in 2015, Supernova/CEA Investissement came to our rescue immediately, in record time, focusing on our value rather than on our problems. This trust and commitment are unique and priceless because the team has a nuanced understanding of our technology and projects. We are now back on track: our market value has risen from €135 million to €2 billion, and we’re hiring 150 people a year.”

Philippe Andreucci

CO-FOUNDER AND CEO – APIX ANALYTICS
“Supernova Invest quickly understood the environmental aspect of our idea and how it could revolutionize a field that has historically been relatively closed to innovation. They helped us shift from the technology to the business by getting involved in the process. And having them at our side lends credence to the technical merits of our project: since they came on board, no one has asked us if ‘our thing works’!”

Franck Mouthon

CO-FOUNDER AND CEO – THERANEXUS
“We were researchers, not entrepreneurs. Celia came in with this necessary skill and gently guided us very early on in the maturation of our project. The mark Supernova Invest has left on our story is one of trust and transparency.”

Luca Verre

CO-FOUNDER AND CEO – PROPHESEE
“From the very outset, Supernova Invest understood our project before everyone else, even though it was technically very complicated. They were the first to dare to believe in us. They opened up their network and supported us when the risk was greatest.”
