Ramify, a French wealth management and financial advisory platform, has snapped €11 million in Series A funding. The round was led by UK-based VC 13books Capital (invested in Aria and Banxware), with participation from Fidelity International Strategic Ventures and existing investors Newfund, AG2R, Crédit Agricole, and business angels.
The funding will enable Ramify to accelerate its development and become the go-to investment solution for the new generation of affluent investors in France.
What challenge does it tackle?
Over the next fifteen years, European baby boomers are expected to transfer more than €10 trillion to the next generations. Among them, over 70% are seeking a new financial advisor to manage their newly acquired assets. While traditional players lack the agility to adapt to these upheavals, digital players struggle to meet the needs of premium clients. In this context, Ramify positions itself as the innovative solution capable of combining the advantages of digital with a personalised approach.
All-in-one investment platform
Founded in 2021 by Olivier Herbout and Samy Ouardini, Ramify addresses the evolving needs of investors seeking high-quality investment solutions and simplifies access to multi-product asset management. Since its launch, the company has experienced exponential growth, with assets under management growing 20 fold over 18 months.

Olivier Herbout, co-founder and Chief Investment Officer of Ramify, stated: “We thank our investors for their trust.
