Hop-Cube obtains the French loaning foundation for starups Scientipôle-Initiative
Posted on February 2nd, 2010
After presenting the concept and startup Hop-Cube in front of a jury of experts in entrepreneurship, marketing and innovation for 20 min, after suffering an additional 20 min barrage of spicy (but relevant!) questions, after waiting a couple of long minutes during the jury deliberation, the Hop-cube’s team won the Scientipôle-Initiative loan! 
Scientipôle-Initiative is an organization helping start-ups by providing entrepreneurs with unsecured loans without collateral needed! Up to 20 000 € per associate filling a loan application, this amount of money is often required to access other state subsidies (OSEO and others).
But beyond the financial aspect, Scientipôle is a serious pledge of our project. Indeed, it was after many months of coaching by experts in their domains (a little nod to Violette Watine from MademoiselleBio and Arnaud Pelloquin, Charge d’Affaires at Scientipôle-Initiative) a project may be presented to a committee for awarding loans.
Until the project is not considered “acceptable” by the experts, the company cannot do a try with the jury.
You’ll understand that we are rather proud to have received the approvment from the Scientipôle’s board which strengthens our confidence in the success of our initiative!
