What they say about us
-
Working together with Scale is wonderful. We get great support (but not too much), access to workshops, relevant contacts, and the most valuable, productive, insightful board meetings.
Stefanie Broes,moonbird -
The support of Scale II has been instrumental in our growth trajectory. On top of the financial support, Scale really managed to create value on important and strategic aspects of the business when it was needed, a rare quality among investors.
Kevin Muller,passbolt -
Scale fund embodies the definition of smart money! They are thorough and truly invested in our brand’s mission and success!
Noelly Michoux,456 Skin -
Scalefund has not been afraid of joining the Naki journey when we needed them the most. They not only brought money but also network and advisory. Since they joined 8 months ago, our revenues have grown 300%. I couldn't be happier to have them, they are proving Belgium has good quality VC too.
Zaccaria Aghemio,naki -
SCALE has been a key shareholder for Phasya. In addition to its capital contribution, the significant investment of the ScaleFund team in the project, in particular during the M&A discussions, has largely contributed to the exit with Tobii (the world leader in eye-tracking).
Jerome Wertz,phasya -
Beyond the investor, ScaleFund acts as a true business partner! They do not hesitate to open their address books, organize meetings with key people and share best practices, whether from a commercial, financial or strategic point of view.

406 Skin in a few words
456 Skin has developed a range of beauty product specifically for dark skins, namely phototype 4, 5 and 6 following Fitzpatrick classification. It is designed as the “perfect routine” with a cleansing gel and oil, a moisturizer, a treatment lotion and a serum. Clients fill in a questionnaire on their skin problems and the company produces a specific and personalised formula.
456 Skin is the answer to the problem encountered by phototypes 4, 5 and 6 . All beauty products currently on the market are developed and produced in the laboratories of big companies with formula for white skins in mind, while it has been scientifically demonstrated that dark skins have very different needs.
456 Skin is based in France, near Chartres, in the so called “Cosmetic Valley”.
