The company handles sourcing, authentication, valuation, insured vault storage, and liquidation, and frames its bond model as compliant with the French Financial Markets Authority (AMF) without requiring a portfolio-management licence. It was founded by Grégoire (described as the category/sourcing expert) and Jérémi Lepetit (a serial entrepreneur previously behind the web3/fintech payments venture Retreeb); public profiles also show Quentin Lepetit (a former 50 Partners partner) as COO and a CTO referred to as “Nacer.” The company reports raising over €3.6M from 400+ investors in under a year with zero paid marketing, a 35% six-month reinvestment rate, and a 48% IRR over four years on the asset class. Revenue comes from entry fees, annual management fees on AUM, and a 25% performance fee on bond capital gains at maturity, with a negative-working-capital model in which bonds are subscribed before collectibles are purchased. This Sowefund campaign raises equity in a holding entity (referred to as “Alt”), targeting €1,200,000 in total with €500,000 reserved on the platform, at a €5.8M pre-money valuation. The company reports it will use the funds for key hires, product/platform development, obtaining AMF “intermediation in miscellaneous assets” (IBD) approval within ~18 months, and marketing.</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size:10pt"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">๐ถ Valuation</span></span></p> <table cellspacing="0" class="Table" style="border-collapse:collapse; border:none; width:6.5in"> <tbody> <tr> <td style="background-color:#f4f2ec; border-bottom:1px solid #cccccc; border-left:1px solid #cccccc; border-right:1px solid #cccccc; border-top:1px solid #cccccc; vertical-align:top; width:193px"> <p><span style="font-size:10pt"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><strong><span style="color:black">Pre-money valuation</span></strong></span></span></p> </td> <td style="background-color:white; border-bottom:1px solid #cccccc; border-left:none; border-right:1px solid #cccccc; border-top:1px solid #cccccc; vertical-align:top; width:431px"> <p><span style="font-size:10pt"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><span style="color:black">€5.8M (company-stated).</span></span></span></p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="background-color:#f4f2ec; border-bottom:1px solid #cccccc; border-left:1px solid #cccccc; border-right:1px solid #cccccc; border-top:none; vertical-align:top; width:193px"> <p><span style="font-size:10pt"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><strong><span style="color:black">Post-money valuation</span></strong></span></span></p> </td> <td style="background-color:white; border-bottom:1px solid #cccccc; border-left:none; border-right:1px solid #cccccc; border-top:none; vertical-align:top; width:431px"> <p><span style="font-size:10pt"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><span style="color:black">≈ €7.0M if the €1.2M target is fully subscribed (derived arithmetic).</span></span></span></p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="background-color:#f4f2ec; border-bottom:1px solid #cccccc; border-left:1px solid #cccccc; border-right:1px solid #cccccc; border-top:none; vertical-align:top; width:193px"> <p><span style="font-size:10pt"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><strong><span style="color:black">Instrument</span></strong></span></span></p> </td> <td style="background-color:white; border-bottom:1px solid #cccccc; border-left:none; border-right:1px solid #cccccc; border-top:none; vertical-align:top; width:431px"> <p><span style="font-size:10pt"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><span style="color:black">Equity in the holding entity (“Alt”); exact share class not disclosed.

The exact share class is not disclosed in provided materials — investor cannot assess this before investing. Whether you hold shares directly or through a pooled nominee/holding vehicle (a structure where one entity holds the shares on behalf of many small investors and typically votes for them) is not explicitly disclosed; the use of a holding company for fundraising is consistent with a pooled structure, but this is not confirmed. Voting rights are not disclosed — investor cannot assess this before investing. As a practical matter, you should assume you will have little or no individual influence over company decisions, including the decision to sell, and that exit decisions will be made by the founders and larger shareholders.</span></span></p> <h3><span style="font-size:10pt"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">Dilution and future rounds</span></span></h3> <p><span style="font-size:10pt"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">“Dilution” means your ownership percentage shrinks when the company issues new shares in later rounds. The company states it intends to scale aggressively and to pursue further regulatory approval within ~18 months, which implies additional capital needs; no Series A size, timing, or price is disclosed. No anti-dilution protection for crowdfund investors is disclosed — as is typical for crowdfunding equity, you should assume you have none.</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size:10pt"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">Worked example (standard cap-table mechanics, not advice). If you invest €1,000 today at the ≈ €7.0M post-money valuation, you own approximately 0.014% of the company. If the company then raises €4M at a €14M pre-money valuation (a successful Series A at roughly 2x today’s post-money), your stake is diluted to approximately 0.011%. If instead the next round is priced lower — a down-round at €4M pre-money — your stake is diluted to approximately 0.0079% and the implied value of your investment falls by roughly 45% versus the up-case, before considering any preference owed to other investors.</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size:10pt"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">ESOP (employee option pool) expansion plans are not disclosed; if a pool is created or enlarged before a future round, existing investors are diluted further. Pre-emption rights — the right to put in more money in future rounds to keep your percentage — are not disclosed, so you should not assume you can defend your stake.</span></span></p> <h3><span style="font-size:10pt"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">Exit and liquidation mechanics</span></span></h3> <p><span style="font-size:10pt"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">Liquidation preference not disclosed — in a sale below or near the current valuation, the order of payouts determines who gets what. Without disclosure, you cannot assess whether earlier investors (for example, 50 Partners) or founders have priority over crowdfund investors in an exit. The multiple (1x, 2x) and whether any preference is participating or non-participating are also not disclosed.</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size:10pt"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">Drag-along rights (a rule letting a defined majority of shareholders force everyone else to sell on the same terms) and tag-along rights (your right to join a sale on the same terms as a selling shareholder) are not disclosed. Without the drag threshold, you cannot tell whether a sale could be forced without the crowd’s consent; without tag-along, you cannot assume you can exit alongside the founders.</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size:10pt"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">Lock-up period and any secondary-market mechanism are not disclosed.
