GwenneG

GwenneG (or "little penny" in Breton) responds to this desire for proximity and allows everyone to support Breton projects, whether in the form of a grant, a loan or an equity investment. It is a unique offer in the field of participatory financing. With a key objective: to support development and employment in Brittany for future generations.

1- Supporting development and employment in Brittany

GwenneG's objective is to enable everyone, from €5, to contribute to the development of the region by financing projects of individuals, associations or companies that today cannot grow due to lack of financial support.
GwenneG is aimed at all project leaders: start-ups in the start-up or pre-development phase, very small businesses / SMEs, associations or individuals seeking financing.
The success of these projects and companies guarantees jobs in Brittany for generations to come. It is therefore a question of mobilizing individuals to invest their savings in the development of their territory. Proximity puts people back at the heart of the financing process and everyone can influence the future of Brittany.
For companies, GwenneG offers the ability to finance the entire life cycle of a product or service:

1. Starting with donations with counterparts for financing, for example, the need for start-up working capital and/or the creation of the first community of customers (pre-sale of a product, for example).
2. By financing a fundraising campaign in the start-up phase to launch the activity, with or without syndication with the financing actors.
3. By financing the development of the activity through borrowing.

2 - How does it work?

There are three types of project leaders: - Companies/associations/natural persons seeking grant funding (with or without counterparties);
- Companies seeking debt financing;
- Companies seeking equity financing.

A platform for all budgets

With GwenneG, the financing of the real economy is not reserved for the wealthy but is open to smaller portfolios, from "small pennies" to "gwenneg".
Everyone can become a donor from €5, lend to a company from €20 and become a shareholder of a Breton company from €100. The objective is to make local investment accessible to as many people as possible in order to participate in the construction of the Brittany of tomorrow.

Certification: a guarantee of safety

The GwenneG platform is registered with ORIAS (Single Registry of Insurance, Banking and Finance Intermediaries) as an Equity Financing Intermediary, authorising it to put projects online and finance them via loans. The certification of Participatory Financing Advisor is required to propose equity projects is in progress. Each file is the subject of an in-depth analysis and an exchange with the project leader. These projects are reviewed by GwenneG's financial team. The pre-selected projects are presented to an extended evaluation committee. This committee is composed of Breton men and women, managers, business leaders and senior executives.

Proximity: the way to restore meaning to your savings

If Brittany can be a breeding ground for regional participatory financing actions, it is thanks to its identity that brings people together and mobilizes them. Very attached to their region, Britons are more inclined to support the development of local initiatives led by associations and companies in their region. The Breton community, which is very important in France and throughout the world, will be mobilized. And the projects, presented in a geolocalized way, will allow everyone to make geographical choices to strengthen their attachment to their locality, if they so wish.
If the financing of projects is done via the platform, it is not a simple financial operation because the virtual community must also meet. A "Breizh tour" with "pitch galettes sausages" and "pitch crêpes" will be organised in cities with more than 10,000 inhabitants and in Paris to enable project leaders to meet their contributors.
