La Première Brique

La Première Brique is a real estate crowdfunding platform founded in Lyon, France, in 2019 by Hugo Berthe and Thomas Danset. The company's mission is to democratize real estate investment by making it accessible, transparent, and simple. Investors can participate in financing real estate projects, primarily property renovations and flips carried out by professional developers, with a minimum investment of just €1. The platform operates on a 100% digital model and charges no fees to investors.

The business generates revenue by charging a success fee to the project developers upon the successful closing of a funding round. This model allows La Première Brique to offer an investment experience free of charge for its community of over 100,000 investors, who are referred to as "briqueurs". The platform focuses on selecting solid projects and provides detailed information and regular updates to maintain transparency and trust. Since its inception, the company has financed over 680 projects, collecting more than €275 million and repaying over €100 million to its investors. It is regulated by the French Financial Markets Authority (AMF) as a Participatory Financing Services Provider (PSFP).
