## About

Founded in 2018 and based in Abidjan, Ivory Coast, Lapaire operates as a healthcare platform that engages in eye care using advanced technology. Jérôme Lapaire (CEO) and Louis Gascoin (COO) are the co-founders of the company. In January 2024, Lapaire raised USD 3 million in equity funding led by I&P, with participation from AAIC Holdings, and FINCA Ventures. 

The company's product line encompasses a diverse range of eyewear, including prescription glasses, sunglasses, and accessories. The firm offers frames including full-rimmed, semi-rimless, and rimless browlines with shapes such as round, oval, rectangular, cat-eye, wayfarer, Boston model, and aviator. Lapaire’s frames are available in metal and plastic materials with colors such as black, grey, brown, red, nude, and more. In addition to its physical store, the business lets clients buy its eyewear online.

Lapaire plans to use the January 2024 funding to streamline its operations and expand to other African markets.
