Founded in 2023, Wally offers club-deal investments accessible with no minimum ticket, targeting a five-year investment period. This solution enables individual investors to access real estate segments previously reserved for professionals, such as hotels, para-hotels, and co-living spaces, with targeted annual returns between 7% and 15%. Investors benefit from quarterly income distributions as well as potential property appreciation at the end of the investment period.

The platform provides a 100% digital investment experience and manages the entire value chain, including sourcing, acquisition, and complete asset management on behalf of investors.

Today, the company has 11 employees across its real estate, sales, tech, and marketing divisions.

Aiming for rapid expansion

The €1.7 million fundraising was carried out with strategic partners such as 50 Partners, Klub, INext and several private investors, including Réda Berrehili, Justin Ziegler, Maxime Lemarchand, JeanFrançois Couec, Julien Radic, Laurent Ovion and Georges Meurisse. Bank debt of €600,000 was provided by BPI France and CIC.

Thanks to this fundraising, Wally aims to: 

• Establish itself as the future leader in innovation within a rapidly evolving real estate market
• Recruit 10 additional team members by the end of 2025, strengthening its real estate, sales, and tech teams. These hires will support the platform’s rapid growth while enabling the development of new services tailored to investors’ needs
• Enhance the offering developed for wealth management advisors. Over 200 financial advisors already recommend Wally to their clients, supported by a platform specifically designed to meet their needs. This dedicated solution offers tools that combine simplicity and performance, responding to growing investor demand for unique, profitable, and innovative investment products

This initiative will support Wally’s goal of acquiring more than €50 million in real estate assets by 2025, focusing primarily on France’s largest cities.

Promising Initial Results

Since its launch, Wally has already attracted over 6,000 investors, and forged partnerships with more than 200 financial advisors.

Several investment opportunities have already been offered on the platform, representing nearly €2 million in funding. Reflecting strong momentum, the fundraising cycle duration has decreased tenfold, while the average investor ticket has increased fivefold since July 2024. The average expected returns on these club-deals exceed the targeted 7% yield

“We are delighted with the confidence our partners have placed in us. This fundraising will enable us to accelerate our development and consolidate our position as the most innovative player on the market, offering exclusive club-deals that are increasingly accessible to our clients,” explained Maxime Parpex and Nathan Zappelli, Co-Founders of Wally.
