"You bring the vision, we build the deal."

Soraya Ouertani, Founder of I-Co.

I-Co, a unique consultancy firm founded by Soraya Ouertani

With 15 years of experience working at Gide Loyrette Nouel  (one of the top French law firms), Saphon Energy  (an innovative start-up in wind energy), AfricInvest  (one of the leading investment fund managers accross Africa), and most recently as the Head of Legal at Investisseurs & Partenaires  (an impact fund manager dedicated to Sub-Saharan region), I founded I-Co Consultancy to put this expertise at the service of entrepreneurs and investors.

Our mission is clear: help projects stand out, become investment ready, and secure capital with confidence, to introduce them to the right financial partner thanks to a large network of investors, business finders and entrepreneurs.

Where other fund raisers or advisors limit their assistance to the financial aspect of the deal, I-Co can accompany you in the negotiation of the legal documentation* until closing, and even beyond.

We advise, in all sectors:

Founders
We assist entrepreneurs who must stand before investors with clarity, governance, and substance.

Investors & Funds
We help investors who require disciplined pipelines, resilient vehicles, and partners able to think at a committee level.

Governments
We assist states that require funds to develop strategic projects for the economy of their country.
