Imani & You
Imani & You was founded in Paris by Edmée Chandon-Moët alongside founding partners Sabrina Mingaud, Sébastien Sitbon, and Pierre-Yves Lagarde. The firm manages wealth tied to the Moët & Chandon lineage. In 2023, Imani & You was acquired by Herez, a group that merged it with Cyrus Patrimoine, bringing in the Meyer Louis-Dreyfus family office Florac Investissements as a shareholder. The firm allocates across real estate, private equity, alternative venture models, and listed investments. Its real estate practice centers on a strategic mixed-use portfolio in Paris, while the private equity arm participates in direct co-investments and SPVs. Confirmed technology focuses include ESG-aligned investments, with the firm mapping startup opportunities in AgriTech & FoodTech and PropTech. Geographic coverage spans Europe, North America, and Africa, reflecting both the families' Franco-European roots and an outward-facing investment mandate. The professional team integrates four founding partners with distinct mandates: Chandon-Moët selects funds and drives development, Lagarde runs proprietary wealth engineering and succession planning, Sitbon oversees listed investment strategy, and Mingaud leads real estate and private equity. Edmée Chandon-Moët also served as Treasurer of the CNCIF. The firm is an active member of the AFFO. In 2023, it completed the merger into Herez, consolidating under the parent group alongside Cyrus Patrimoine, with Florac Investissements as a strategic co-investor. Imani & You's architecture is structurally distinct: a single-family office that deliberately opened its capital and governance to a multi-family holding group. That hybrid design — pairing Moët & Chandon heritage wealth with the Louis-Dreyfus family's investment infrastructure — creates a co-investment vehicle that operates less like a closed patrimonial office and more like a curated family capital partnership.

Frequently asked questions
Who controls Imani & You after the 2023 merger?
Imani & You was acquired by Herez and merged with Cyrus Patrimoine. Edmée Chandon-Moët remains President and the four founding partners continue to run the investment and advisory functions. Florac Investissements, the family office of the Meyer Louis-Dreyfus family, holds a stake in the parent group Herez, bringing a second major family's capital and governance influence.
Does Imani & You manage only Moët & Chandon family wealth?
No. While the firm originated to serve the Chandon-Moët family, its 2023 merger into Herez and the addition of Florac Investissements as a shareholder turned it into a multi-family capital partnership. The firm structures co-investments that blend heritage wealth with external family capital.
What is Imani & You's actual investment strategy?
The firm deploys capital across real estate, private equity, listed investments, and alternative venture models. It builds bespoke co-investment SPVs, often alongside other family offices. Sector focuses confirmed through Altss research include PropTech and AgriTech & FoodTech, with an ESG overlay across technology investments.
Which families are involved in Imani & You's ownership?
Founding principal Edmée Chandon-Moët belongs to the Moët & Chandon lineage. After the 2023 acquisition by Herez, the Meyer Louis-Dreyfus family's Florac Investissements became a shareholder in the parent group, creating a dual-family capital base.
How is investment sourcing handled?
Sourcing appears to rely on the founding partners' professional networks, the AFFO family-office community, and the Louis-Dreyfus family's deal infrastructure via Florac Investissements. The firm emphasizes internal asset-allocation competence and proprietary wealth engineering, but does not publicly disclose specific sourcing pipelines.
Does Imani & You take outside LP capital?
The firm operates as a single-family office but participates in co-investment structures that involve peer family offices. The 2023 merger with Herez and the Florac Investissements stake suggest the platform can pool capital from multiple families on a deal-by-deal basis.
What philanthropic or non-investment assets does Imani & You steward?
Alongside financial assets, the firm manages the Edmée Chandon-Moët Art Collection and a Karting Collection. Philanthropic or mission-related investing is tagged as a confirmed investment type, though specific initiatives are not publicly detailed.
