Today marks an important step for us as KaraFun Group Group welcomes Verlinvest and Vendis Capital as new partners. This move is a decisive turning point in our journey. It celebrates over twenty years of hard work, the uniqueness of our model, and our ambition to make karaoke a universal, creative and joyful experience for everyone.
KaraFun is a global community of music lovers who sing every day. Whether it's on our app, in our KaraFun Bars, or at venues using our technology, our mission is more than just making songs accessible. It's about creating musical moments and shared experiences. Moments that set voices free, bring people closer, and make karaoke more spontaneous, inclusive, and joyful.
So far, we've built this adventure independently in Lille with a tight-knit, curious, demanding, and passionate team. We took the time to create our own tools, our own spaces, and our own style. Today, this culture of experimentation and customization is part of our DNA. It's precisely this spirit that Verlinvest and Vendis Capital have chosen to support by joining our project.
These two partners share a common vision: entertainment focused on human experience, driven by creative, distinctive, and responsible brands. Verlinvest has supported iconic international companies for decades, with a true sense of long-term commitment. Meanwhile, Vendis Capital has forged strong ties with entrepreneurs who, like us, prioritize innovation, emotion, and quality.
Their arrival is not a change of direction. It's a fresh boost. An opportunity to move faster and further while staying true to what has inspired us from day one. We can accelerate our international development, enhance our app, strengthen our B2B offerings, and continue innovating for those who love to sing—whether a lot, a little, or just a chorus.
The leadership remains the same. The team remains the same. But the horizon broadens. We are proud of this recognition, excited about what we will build, and grateful to all the team members, users, and partners who keep the heart of KaraFun beating every day.
The story of KaraFun Group is now being written with many voices. And we promise it will continue to make noise.
