Lyon-based Mon Petit Placement, a fintech company that claims to simplify the investment experience by making it accessible to everyone, announced that it has secured €6.5M in a fresh round of funding.
The company aims to become the key player in accessible savings in France (and beyond).
The investment came from Paris-based La France Mutualiste and Mon Petit Placement’s existing investors.
Founded in 2017 by Thomas Perret and Thibault Jaillon, Mon Petit Placement is a fintech company that simplifies the investment experience, catering to both novices and experts with its “user-friendly interface”.
The platform offers education, personalized advice, and regular monitoring, providing substantial support to investors.
With portfolios accessible from €300, individuals can choose from a range of options based on their risk tolerance, ensuring accessibility for all kinds of investors in France.
In 2023, Mon Petit Placement introduced four new investment options, including an anti-inflation portfolio (the first investment to combat the erosion of savings due to inflation), a solution for children, a “Serenity” portfolio, and a Retirement Offer through life insurance.
Mon Petit Placement says that after securing the funds, the company aims for financial balance by 2025 and plans strategic initiatives in 2024, including branding, new offerings, and recruitment.
The funding also marks a merger with France Mutualiste, emphasizing their shared goal of democratizing investment and making financial opportunities accessible to a broader audience.
