Welcount on M6: a successful fundraising round on “Who Wants to Be My Partner?”

In February 2024, Welcount (formerly Welcome Account) marked a decisive turning point in its development by taking part in the hit TV show « Qui veut être mon associé ? » broadcast on M6. A unique opportunity to present our social mission to millions of viewers and a panel of recognised investors.
A social mission brought into the spotlight
On the set, Rooh Savar and Caroline Span, cofounders of Welcount, presented their vision:
an inclusive neobank dedicated to people who have recently arrived in Europe, offering them fast access to a bank account, a payment card, as well as personalised support (rights, housing, tax…).
A successful investment offer
The pitch won over entrepreneur Anthony Bourbon, who offered an investment of €300,000 for 10% of the equity. Strong recognition of the relevance of our B2B2C business model and our social impact.
A driver of visibility and growth
Following the broadcast of the episode, Welcount benefited from increased media coverage and a surge of opportunities. In less than a year, more than 1,000 organisations — companies, universities and associations — chose Welcount to support their international employees, students or beneficiaries.
