Similar to other crowdfunding platforms “LITA.co” helps people to raise money for their projects, by connecting them with individuals or groups who want to support their ideas financially. 

The main difference to “regular crowdfunding” platforms is that LITA is highly sustainability-focused.

Therefore, all companies listed on LITA.co not only went through a financial, but also a sustainability assessment to make sure the company is economically viable, whilst also being sustainability-conscious. 

LITA.co was founded in 2014, and currently has a team of more than 50 employees in France, Belgium and Italy. 

LITA was approved by the french financial authorities (Autorité des Marchés Financiers), managed to get the B-Corp certification (one of the most significant sustainability seals held by companies as Patagonia, Ecosia or Virón ;).
The platform also was first the first of its kind reciving the Finansol label - a certificate that confirms the solidarity, transparency and trustworthiness of financial products.

Since 2014, LITA.co brought together a community of more than 50,000 individual investors raising nearly 42 million euros, that have been invested in more than 200 committed companies.

In contrast to traditional crowdfunding, LITA.co’s impact based crowdfunding only accepts and includes companies that besides being financially viable, also proved a positive social / environmental impact, whilst being transparent regarding the investment utilization.

LITA.co is of course also focused on the financial return of a project, but additionally also focuses on the sustainability of your investment.

You can invest from €100. This is the symbolic minimum investment on LITA.co for Virón.

It needs to be remarked that your investment will come with a 1-3% fee depending on the amount invested. The fees will be used by LITA.co to support banking transaction costs and provide individualised support for brands like us participating on their paltform. The fees will only be deducted once the investment is collected.

LITA.co does not charge management fees or commission on gains made through your Virón investment.

By becoming a Virón shareholder of Virón, you will officially hold a share of our company and the capital invested as well as be a part of the adventures of being an entrepreneur.

You will receive quarterly updates on the strategic development of Virón and our future plans, to make sure you’re able to track the development of the company throughout the duration of your investment.

Investing always comes with risks - that’s exactly the reason why you should only invest a part of your savings that you could potentially lose. That means that if the company would be forced to go bankrupt, you’re exposed to the risk of losing a part of the total of the amount invested. Also, you need to consider that the investment cannot be liquidized at any given moment — meaning that you do not have the direct opportunity to resell your shares for capital as you wish.

Crowdfunding / LITA.co investment are considered patient long-term investments over a 5 year time period. This is the reason why LITA’s auditing process on financial and sustainability performance is very rigirous - to limit your risk from the very beginning. In the case that the minimum amount of the Virón campaign on LITA is not reached, the campaign will be cancelled and all of the investments will be refunded by the full amount.

Nevertheless remember, while investing comes with risks, it also comes with the potential of substantial rewards - especially in the case of investing in a start-up.
