The RockFi Experience, an exclusive approach serving a new generation of investors RockFi serves a clientele of entrepreneurs, executives, top athletes, and artists seeking high-performance, dynamic wealth management adapted to new uses.

These investors favor a tailor-made approach where human expertise is combined with a redesigned digital experience for greater simplicity and transparency. RockFi stands out for its family office approach, providing its clients with a dedicated private banker capable of building a comprehensive wealth strategy integrating financial investments, taxation, and transmission.

Its offering is positioned at the high end with 3,000 financial vehicles across all asset classes, particularly in private equity thanks to 30 partnerships established with prestigious partners such as Morgan Stanley, BlackRock and Goldman Sachs.

Through its proprietary technology platform, RockFi offers its clients comprehensive reporting of their assets, with real-time tracking and detailed analyses.

Access to RockFi's services is reserved for a minimum investment of €250,000 with a subscription model based on an annual package to promote exclusive and personalized support.

Pierre Marin, co-founder and CEO of RockFi said, "We want to breathe new life into private wealth management, the careers of those who manage it, and the wealth of their clients. This financing allows us to scale up to serve our clients even better, in France and - ultimately - in Europe, with the ambition of quickly establishing ourselves among the leaders in next-generation wealth management,".

With this fundraising, RockFi plans to invest heavily in its technology and recruit 60 new private bankers over the next 12 months. The regional rollout plans to open one city per month, starting with Nice, Cannes, Toulouse, Rennes, and Strasbourg, and is part of a commitment to proximity and increasingly focused support for regional investors and entrepreneurs.

Leading investors to support RockFi

This Series A brings RockFi top-tier financial partners. Partech is taking its first stake in the company by leading the round. Philippe Collombel, co-founder and General Partner at Partech, is joining RockFi's board of directors alongside Didier Valet (former Deputy CEO of Société Générale) and Antoine Freysz (serial entrepreneur and investor through Kerala Ventures).

Varsity, the fund co-founded by Didier Valet, which led RockFi's seed round in 2024, is renewing its confidence by significantly reinvesting in this round. RockFi is also counting on the support of new strategic business angels such as Arthur Waller and Félix Blossier (co-founders of Pennylane) and Mark Ransford (former Managing Director of Apax).

Philippe Collombel, co-founder and General Partner of Partech said, “We are delighted to support RockFi in this new phase of growth. Its model—combining a technology platform and human expertise—meets a strong demand in the wealth management market. The traction achieved in just a few months demonstrates RockFi’s potential to establish itself as a key player in a sector that is about to transform,”.

Didier Valet, co-founder of the Varsity fund said, “From the very beginning of RockFi, we were convinced by Pierre and his team’s vision to transform private wealth management. In less than a year, they have executed this vision with remarkable efficiency and tangible results. As an early investor, it seemed natural for us to strengthen our support during this Series A round to support RockFi in its expansion,”.

The funds raised will enable RockFi to accelerate its innovation momentum and expand its service offering. In March, the fintech launched a dedicated client application, which provides each client with comprehensive and detailed reporting of their entire financial assets in real time.
