Summary

Founded by Remy Fabre and Louis Lambert in Lille, Zefir is a real estate platform with the mission to make home-selling a simpler, faster and more serene process. By buying property directly from prospective sellers, homeowners are able to avoid the delay risk of property chains and the often unpleasant and opaque experience of dealing with real estate agencies. In 2021, Zefir registered a transaction volume of €200M, with ambitions to reach €1 billion in 2022, 1% of the French real estate market. Early investors include Sequoia Capital and Kima Ventures. Faraday Partners also co-invested in Zefir’s latest funding round.

Our Partnership

Partnering closely with Zefir’s founders and early team, we supported the design of the organisational structure and hiring sequence to underpin the company’s rapid growth. We helped to define the leadership blueprint and recruited across key functions, bringing in a Product Lead, Operations Lead, and Growth Lead. These hires strengthened execution in product development, operational scalability, and customer acquisition, creating a strong foundation for the next stage of expansion. By combining thoughtful role design, targeted assessment, and careful alignment with Zefir’s mission, we ensured the company could scale effectively while remaining true to its vision and long-term ambitions.
