Jean-Luc Maria
Co-founder and CEO
Exotrail


Karista joined the Exotrail adventure in 2020 during our Series A fundraising,
as one of the most active French VCs for tech & early-stage companies. We
immediately hit it off with the teams. Over and above the obvious financial
support, Karista understood and supported our company's great ambitions from day
one. The fund remains at management's side to meet the many challenges of
growth, and the relationship of trust established is remarkable.

Emmanuel Cuny
Co-founder and CEO
Rebrain


As always, important events in the life of a startup are structuring for the
company. These events can be: the response to calls for tenders, the
implementation of the commercial strategy, the recruitment of managers and of
course fundraising. The latter obviously has a financial interest for the
startup, but beyond that, it allows an acceleration of development and therefore
a modification of the project because it is rare that a company raises funds to
continue doing things as before and it is rare that an investor agrees to fund a
company not to change...

With Karista, RebrAIn was able to successfully raise significant funds allowing
us to implement a structured development project over the next three years. For
us founders, it is accepting that we do not have all the keys to carry out this
development and accepting that others have more experience. For Karista it is
adhering to the founders' project and betting on the 'team. This shows whether
mutual trust is necessary to carry out the association successfully…

Beyond tangible contributions such as help in recruiting a CEO, structuring the
project over three years, putting people in touch with other investors,
Karista's contribution is mainly men and women who were able to give us their
trust, as we gave them ours.

‍

Antoine Jomier
Co-founder and CEO
Incepto


Catherine and the Karista teams have been with us since 2019 and have followed
Incepto since its creation. When you launch an entrepreneurial venture, aligning
an investor's values with your company's culture creates great trust and
increases their impact. At Incepto, we value expertise and humility, passion for
healthcare, and integrity. These are the primary qualities that I would
highlight for Karista.

‍

Jeroen Dille
Co-founder and CEO
DEO.CARE


Karista has provided immense value beyond capital, leveraging their extensive
network to introduce us to leading medtech companies and hospitals. These
connections have paved the way for new partnerships, significantly enhancing our
growth and market reach.

Alexandra de la Fontaine
Co-founder and CEO
Ludocare


As an innovative start-up, we know that achieving our ambitious goals requires
partners who can provide strategic expertise and a clear vision for our future
growth. With the Karista team, under the insightful leadership of Catherine
Boule, we benefit from vast experience and invaluable strategic perspectives.
This collaboration allows us to refine our strategy and navigate market
challenges more effectively.

‍

Beyond the strategic aspects, it's fundamentally about human relationships. What
I particularly appreciate is the frank and transparent communication, as well as
the genuine team spirit we've developed with Karista. Their support goes far
beyond funding: they are true partners, invested in our success.

‍

Karista is much more than just an investor for Ludocare. They bring a unique
combination of strategic skills and human values essential for our growth and
success.

‍

Jean Edouard Communal
Co-founder and CEO
Miratlas


As the founder of Miratlas, I am grateful to Karista for leading our first
funding round.

Our partnership has been invaluable, not only to organize the syndicate but also
to bring together an exceptional group of investors.

Their proactive involvement on our board has been a game-changer, providing
strategic insights which significantly influenced our growth trajectory.

Moreover, their assistance in recruiting board members has strengthened our
leadership team, positioning us for continued success.

Karista's unwavering support and expertise have been instrumental in our
journey, and I look forward to achieving even greater milestones together.

Michel Friedling
CEO
Look Up Space


As the CEO of LookUpSpace, I am deeply appreciative of our partnership with
Karista. Leading our seed round, Karista played a pivotal role not only in
securing initial funding but also in facilitating the participation of a German
fund, which is crucial for our international expansion. Their active involvement
has provided us with strategic and management insights that have significantly
contributed to our development. Karista's expertise and guidance have been vital
to our progress, and I am excited about the future milestones we will achieve
together.
