Erable Now Prints Profit, Says 2.6% Acceptance Rate Is "Strategy" 🚀

Paris-based investment and technology group erable° is reporting its first profitable year since founding, fueled by what executives describe as the full rebuild of its investment platform WE DO GOOD between April 2024 and September 2025. The group raised 45% more capital in 2025 than in 2024, and in the first half of 2026 alone raised 8% more than across all of 2025, according to a statement released on September 17th, 2026.

Since a takeover in April 2024, erable° has received more than 3,000 investment opportunities, with more than 1,500 applications arriving after the new platform went live in September 2025. Over the same period, 39 projects have been selected and launched for fundraising, representing approximately 2.6% of all applications received. The company attributes its ability to handle the larger volume to increased automation in sourcing and screening.

"The figures show that we have successfully moved from a transformation phase to a genuine acceleration phase," said Yannis Baala, CEO of erable°. "Rebuilding the platform was not simply a technological upgrade: it was about creating the infrastructure needed to scale our ability to identify, assess and finance the right projects. The fact that we received more applications in the first year of the new platform than during the entire previous period, while maintaining a highly selective process, is a strong validation of this strategy."

The transformation has been supported by advisors including erable° co-founder Adrien Hubert, Serge Balatre and the team of Regenerative Ltd, as the group continues to develop its positioning at the intersection of technology, investment and impact finance. With an expanded pipeline, a more automated selection process and continued growth in fundraising volumes, erable° enters the second half of 2026 aiming to scale its role in financing innovative and sustainable projects.
