What Clubfunding does

ClubFunding is a Paris-based regulated crowdfunding platform founded in 2015 that connects individual and institutional investors with French SMEs and real estate projects, primarily through real estate debt and equity offerings and curated structured products. The platform enables investments from a €1,000 minimum and reports over €2 billion cumulatively deployed across more than 40,000 registered investors, with an average IRR of 9.95% calculated on fully repaid alternative financing arrangements since 2015. It operates a horizontal, self-serve model targeting retail investors who seek access to private markets traditionally reserved for institutional players.

The platform is delivered as a web application complemented by native iOS and Android apps, with integrated electronic-payment processing handled through its Electronic Currency Trezor subsidiary (CIB 16798). Deal origination, vetting, and portfolio management are supported by a separate AMF-approved portfolio management subsidiary, ClubFunding Asset Management (GP-250000025). ClubFunding itself is regulated as a PSFP by the AMF under FP-2023-40, registered with the ACPR under 732445, and holds the European Crowdfunding Service Provider (ERCSP) label, with operations in France (Paris HQ) and Spain (Madrid). The product surface includes real estate debt, equity, and exclusive structured products, with yields typically distributed monthly or quarterly.

Revenue is generated primarily through transaction fees on the issuer side; investors are not charged entry, arbitration, or payment fees. The company supplements crowdfunding placement with asset management fees via its regulated subsidiary. Following a €125 million capital raise in September 2022 from Bpifrance, EMZ Partners, Florac, and Peninsula Capital, ClubFunding has prioritized international expansion, with Spain as its first market outside France. The co-founder and CEO is David El Nouchi, and the group operates with 51-100 employees across its two geographies.

Revenue model

1. Platform transaction fees: ClubFunding generates revenue by facilitating investment deals between project issuers and investors. The platform curates and lists real estate debt and equity opportunities, earning a fee from project developers/issuers for access to the investor base. No entry fees, arbitration fees, or payment fees are charged to investors, suggesting revenue comes from the borrower/issuer side of transactions.
