Quideos Secures €5.2 Million Funding Round
Quideos, a France-based fintech company, has announced the completion of a €5.2 million funding round aimed at supporting the deployment of its agricultural price hedging solutions. The round was co-led by Breega and Demea Sustainable Investment, alongside Groupe Crédit Agricole (via Brie Picardie Expansion) and existing investor Clint Capital.
According to the company, the funding marks a new phase of development for Quideos, which focuses on enabling price risk management for agricultural products that are not listed on commodity exchanges. The announcement was shared through both LinkedIn communications and an official press release dated January 8, 2026.
Quideos’ Approach to Agricultural Price Hedging
Quideos has developed financial instruments designed to hedge purchase and sale prices for non-listed agricultural products, including fruits, vegetables, meat, and dairy products. While hedging tools are well established for listed commodities such as wheat, corn, and soy, the company states that more than 80% of agricultural products currently lack access to such mechanisms.
The Quideos model is based exclusively on real economic activity. Access to its hedging instruments requires proof of physical buying or selling activity, and speculative use is excluded. According to the company, this structure is intended to provide greater visibility on pricing, stabilize margins, and secure revenues for participants across the agri-food value chain.
Regulatory Approval and Commercial Readiness
After more than 18 months of preparation, Quideos obtained a Class 2 investment firm license from the Autorité de contrôle prudentiel et de résolution (ACPR), under the supervision of the Autorité des marchés financiers (AMF). The regulatory approval, which requires holding more than €5 million in own funds, enables the company to commercialize its solutions.
Mikaël Delmas, CEO and co-founder of Quideos, said, “We designed Quideos to address a very concrete challenge faced daily by agricultural stakeholders: the inability to protect themselves against increasingly sharp price fluctuations.” He added that the funding will allow the company to scale its solution operationally.
Investor Perspectives and Next Steps
Benjamin Deplus, Partner at Breega, stated that Quideos “provides an essential response to the stability of the European agricultural ecosystem,” citing market instability as a constraint on investment. Cyrille Cabaret, Partner at Demea Sustainable Investment, noted that preserving revenues across the agri-food chain is closely linked to climate adaptation challenges.
Jean-Pierre Touzet, Director at Crédit Agricole S.A., said the partnership with Quideos strengthens the group’s ability to support clients facing price volatility.
Quideos plans to prioritize commercial deployment in France, expand its team during 2026, and leverage its regulatory passport to expand across Europe in the coming years.
