The story

Caption operates as a fintech lending and investment platform focused on SME growth financing in France, offering debt financing from €500,000 with flexible repayment structures and no personal guarantee. The platform also facilitates investor payments, for which it selected Mangopay as its payments infrastructure provider. The company appears to operate at the intersection of alternative lending and investment marketplace, targeting SMEs underserved by traditional banks.
