KissKissBank & Co, the pioneer of participatory financing in France and a subsidiary of La Banque Postale, was launched by Adrien Aumont, Ombline le Lasseur and Vincent Ricordeau in September 2009. Their ambition: to enable everyone to finance entrepreneurial, creative and associative projects, and thus contribute to positive change in society. Over the past 11 years, the strength of the collective has unleashed creativity, and crowdfunding has become a factory of optimism. More than 23,000 projects have been financed by 2.3 million committed citizens for a total of 176 million euros via the group's three platforms: KissKissBankBank (donations and pre-orders), Lendopolis (investment in renewable energies) and Goodeed (free donations).
