Kastel
The first investment club dedicated to the Cultural and Creative Industries.
Kastel applies venture capital logic to the art market: spotting high-potential living artists, investing early at studio price, actively supporting their careers, and sharing the value created.
A club of 50 co-opted investors as co-founders, a private collection reserved for members, and the ambition of a structured €50M vehicle dedicated to the CCIs.
Son and grandson of artists, Vincent Daffourd was in turn taken by a passion for art. After becoming disabled, he set out to build the small museum he had dreamed of at home, and it was by reaching out directly to artists, unable to attend gallery openings, that he wove the bond from which Kastel was born.
