KONCRETE is modernizing one of the oldest and most offline industries: aggregates. Their platform connects constructors with suppliers, bringing speed, transparency, and efficiency to a supply chain that has barely changed in decades. Since our pre-seed investment in April, the company has already shown exceptional traction, growing more than 30% month over month. We invested because of the founder. Henri immediately stood out as a rare combination of domain expertise, passion, and cost-efficient execution — exactly the kind of entrepreneur we want to back. In five years, we believe Koncrete will be the market leader not only in France but across Europe. Their growth proves they have the right team, the right technology, and the momentum to become one of the next unicorns in our portfolio.
