La Fourche

15, Rue Clavel, Paris, Île-de-France, 75019, France

Overview

Founded seven years ago, La Fourche operates a members-only e-commerce platform for organic groceries, charging €59 per year to give shoppers prices up to 50 % below traditional retailers. The company has built a community of more than 150,000 paying members and has posted strong top-line growth: +36 % year-to-date in 2024 after +43 % in 2023 and +76 % in 2022. Management forecasts revenue to exceed €100 million in 2025 and is targeting profitability by the end of that year. The fresh capital will be used to further automate its warehouse—particularly the packing line—improve logistics tracking, and expand its carrier network to ensure a flawless monthly shopping experience. Internationally, La Fourche already operates Ackerherz in Germany, has launched in Austria, and is eyeing Switzerland next, localizing assortments to favor short supply chains. Certified B Corp since 2022 and now a société à mission, the firm also offers free memberships to low-income households to democratize access to organic food. This counter-cyclical, subscription-based model has enabled it to scale efficiently while minimizing digital marketing spend.
