French Investment Club Keenest Secures €10 Million To Fund Startups Driving The Sustainable Economy

The club doubled its investment total in just three months, following EU-Startups’ report of its €5 million raised earlier.

Jérémie Sicsic, CEO of Keenest said: “Individual savings are a considerable lever for financing the sustainable economy. By investing directly in impact projects, every citizen becomes a driver of transition, while participating in the creation of a greener, more resilient, and more sovereign economy.”

In 2025, Keenest stands out in Europe’s sustainable finance landscape, joining a growing wave of climate-focused investment platforms that combine environmental impact with investor returns.

Community-driven platforms like Portugal’s Goparity have raised €2.9 million to fund impact projects, while larger institutional funds such as Norrsken’s €57 million Evolve Fund, Suma Capital’s €210 million SC Net Zero Ventures I, and Vireo Ventures’ €50 million Electrification Fund I—are also scaling up.

Having raised over €10 million Keenest highlights Europe’s move toward transparent, community-driven financing for the low-carbon transition. Founded in 2023 by Jérémie Sicsic and Renan Labrunie with 300 investors, the platform now has 3,500 members, mostly individuals looking for meaningful ways to grow their savings.

With investments starting at €500, Keenest has funded startups driving the ecological transition, including Feedback, Sapiologie, Loewi, OpenClimat, Zilo Énergie, Kolverr, Arkeon Energy, Fenix Energy, Seaturns, Leviathan, Monomeris, and Veridian.

Keenest’s innovative “climate dividends” reward investors based on CO₂ avoided: the greater the environmental impact, the higher the return. The platform targets an average annual return of 20%, while offering liquidity prospects, creating a virtuous cycle of sustainable investment.
