Is an ex-baker revolutionizing investment in France?

Guest on the channel Jokariz, Bradley Lafond, founder of Fundora, looks back on an atypical career that led him to rethink private equity investment.

Graduated fromEDHEC, Bradley understood early on that neither traditional finance nor wage employment matched his vision. He then made a radical choice: to resume a CAP baker and start your own bakeries. Their success allows him to invest in several companies... and to discover from within the limits of private equity, a closed universe reserved for a minority.

From this frustration comes a strong conviction: the investment must be more accessible, more transparent and fairer. It is this vision that will give birth to Fundora, a platform for investing in private equity funds starting at €100.

In this video, Bradley shares:

  • his life choices against the tide
  • his relationship to money and entrepreneurship
  • The structural bottlenecks of private equity
  • The genesis of Fundora and its mission

An authentic exchange about freedom, investment and the desire to create opportunities open to all.

How does Fundora give you access to investment funds starting from just €100 ?

At Fundora, we negotiate allocations directly with institutional private equity funds and then structure them through a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) to make them accessible to all our users from as little as €100. The SPV pools all investors together and acts as a single professional subscriber to the fund, a regulated structure that complies with the requirements of the Autorité des marchés financiers.

This allows you to gain exposure that is strictly identical to that of large institutional investors, without any of the complexity.
