Yellow Korner (France) - Nov 2007

Franco-Italian private equity firm 360 Capital Partners has injected €2.4m in artistic photography poster publishers Yellow Korner, in return for 20-40% of the equity. As part of this deal, which was sourced privately, business angels who had originally invested six months ago, reinvested. No further funding should be required.

Company

Yellow Korner prints limited edition posters of photographs exclusively negotiated with artists, selling at between €59-300 per unit. Bookstore chain FNAC is already selling the company’s products via 30 stores in Europe. Negotiations with other distributors across Europe are currently taking place, notably in Italy and Spain. A fully-owned gallery is expected to be opened shortly, while online sales will also be set up. The business, which has almost reached breakeven, hopes to grow tenfold within two years.

People

François Tison led the investment for 360 Capital Partners. Alexandre de Metz and Paul Antoine Briat are Yellow Korner’s founders and CEOs.
