About
Crédit Agricole Innove en Normandie, or CA’IN, is the venture capital vehicle created in 2017 by the regional banks Crédit Agricole Normandie and Normandie-Seine. It supports innovative startups based in Normandy during their seed phase. The announced fund size is €8M, with investments ranging from €50k to €350k, including follow-ons, in equity or bonds. CA’IN acts as a minority co-investor and also aims to promote employment and the attractiveness of the region, without managing the funded companies. Its investments include GreenBig, which develops bottle collection and recycling machines, CITIMA in real estate software, Arkeon Energy in heating decarbonization, Good Motors Agency in motorcycle rentals, and Cap Atlas in geospatial data. It also participated in the funding of LoopDeeScience, which designs field biological tests. The vehicle supports the seed stage before facilitating the transition to the growth capital players of the Crédit Agricole group.
