What's the endgame? Carsup aims to cover the full lifecycle of high-end vehicles: secure storage, maintenance and restoration, transport, buying and selling support, and events for owners. It uses artificial intelligence to analyse data from each car — movements, mileage, storage conditions, and service history — to generate maintenance recommendations and anticipate repairs.

Why now? The company runs 25 concierge sites across France and Europe, managing more than 2,000 vehicles worth over €400 million in assets, with more than 15,000 services delivered. It expects to double revenue this year to €30 million and pass 3,000 vehicles under management by year-end.

What about expansion? Carsup will use the funding to open new concierge sites abroad, targeting entry into a new European market in the fourth quarter of 2026. "This round gives us the means to accelerate that vision internationally," said Lelarge, founder and chief executive officer.
