Anaxago SAS, established in 2012 by Joachim Dupont, Caroline Lamaud, and François Carbone, is a French crowdfunding platform that was among the pioneers in this sector. In 2014, it obtained certification as a participatory investment advisor (CIP) from the French Financial Markets Authority (Autorité des Marchés Financiers).

The platform enables private investors to co-invest in startups and provide crowdfunding loans for real estate projects. By 2018, it had raised over €100 million across more than 180 curated projects. Some of the prominent startups supported through its platform include Nestor, Novolyse, Acticor Biotech, Eyebrain, and Shapr.

In 2017, Business Insider listed the company as the 13th most active Fintech startup. That same year, it was recognized as the second-largest platform in France in terms of project offerings by the independent website HelloCrowdFunding.

On October 4, 2018, Anaxago launched Anaxago Capital, a fund management company authorized by the Autorité des Marchés Financiers, and announced the creation of a new investment fund. By early 2019, the company employed 35 staff members, reported a revenue of €3.5 million in 2018, and had reached profitability. Its goals for 2019 included advancing the digitization of savings and achieving €4.5 million in revenue.
