My name is Billal Righi, an entrepreneur passionate about computer science, technology, innovation, and investment.

My ambition has always been clear: to create sustainable value and develop meaningful projects driven by a long-term vision.

Why I created CotizUp

The idea for CotizUp came from a simple observation: too many crowdfunding platforms charge high fees that reduce the real impact of donations.

As the founder of CotizUp, I wanted to offer a clear and fair alternative:

👉 an online fundraising platform with no commission, accessible to all.

“CotizUp was designed to simplify fundraising and remove financial barriers, so that every euro collected truly benefits the supported projects and causes.”

Launched in 2016, CotizUp quickly established itself as an innovative solution in the crowdfunding space.

CotizUp: growth driven by trust

Thanks to this approach, CotizUp has enabled the collection of over 200 million euros since its creation at the end of 2015.

A figure that primarily reflects the trust of its users.

According to Billal Righi, CotizUp’s founder, this success is built on three fundamental pillars:

  • Transparency, essential to establish long-lasting relationships
  • Accessibility, with a simple, intuitive, and multilingual platform
  • Community engagement, supported by active and authentic communication

This vision has enabled CotizUp to stand out sustainably in the crowdfunding ecosystem.

Values at the heart of the project

I deeply believe in:

  • Meritocracy
  • Resilience
  • Transparency

These values guide each of my projects and are fully embedded in CotizUp’s DNA.

Unlike platforms focused on profit, CotizUp prioritizes solidarity and social impact.

An international ambition

Today, as the founder of CotizUp, I carry a clear ambition: to make fundraising accessible to as many people as possible, worldwide.

“We are working on partnerships with international payment services to make global contributions easier, while maintaining our no-fee model.”

This expansion reflects our desire to democratize crowdfunding and strengthen the positive impact of supported projects.
