Gens de Confiance operates an online classifieds service that relies on referral-based membership to facilitate secure transactions between buyers and sellers, serving more than 1.6 million members. It covers categories from real estate to home appliances, childcare, and automobiles, enabling online buying, selling, and renting. Registration is free, but responding to listings requires membership, which is granted only after sponsorship from three existing members; about 70% of listings are exclusive to the platform. The company was founded in Nantes, Pays de la Loire, in 2014 by three local residents, and it remains based in Nantes. It operates in France and the United Kingdom, with a mid-sized team based in Nantes. Gens de Confiance has received recognition such as the Pass French Tech in 2019 and was noted by Maddyness and Google as a promising Nantes startup, while maintaining a five-year track record without reported scams.
