giftdetect· the right gift in minutesParis-based triPica, a provider of cloud-native CRM and billing software for energy suppliers and telecom operators, has announced a €12.4 million investment from TiLT Capital Partners, a Paris-based asset manager focused on the energy transition.
The money will fund expansion in energy, with Germany and Italy to be developed alongside France and other European countries to follow. Telecom remains the core of the business, and triPica will keep investing there with operators in Europe, the Americas and Asia. The company also plans to double its team and to use AI to support operators' daily billing and customer teams, promising gains in speed and reliability.
The problem triPica targets
According to the company, suppliers must bring ever more products to market, from dynamic tariffs and solar self-consumption offers to EV charging and demand flexibility programmes. Yet many still run systems built for single regulated tariffs, where each new offer requires months of IT work and bespoke development. Telecom operators face similar hurdles when launching a digital brand, a convergent bundle or a usage-based plan.
triPica, founded in 2016 by Mathieu Horn, Walid Bounar and Christophe Ruzé, says its single platform covers the full customer lifecycle, from product catalogue and subscription to billing, payment and customer service, letting operators launch offers in weeks rather than months. It says it has also developed a method to migrate customer bases, contracts and billing history without disrupting operations.
Its energy customers in France, Germany and Italy include Primeo Energie and Gaz Européen, while telecom clients include Bouygues Telecom, Digicel and CelcomDigi. The company argues that this dual footprint is its edge, as energy increasingly adopts telecom-style models such as consumption-based billing and bundled services.
Investor view
Nicolas Lepareur, co-founder and Managing Partner of TiLT, said triPica's ten years in production with demanding operators convinced the firm it can become the European reference. TiLT, the energy transition platform of the Siparex group since 2021, manages a €340 million fund and supports 11 high-growth European SMEs.
