Our history

Behind every project is a team and a story.

Postumo was born from the experience of two brothers, Julien and Franck Ridon, after the death of a grandmother and then an aunt. Unfortunately, the distance between heirs, the difficulty in understanding whom to declare the death to, in finding certain papers, the lack of communication, the confusion with the role of the notary in these procedures, etc., all led to the loss of social benefits for which a relative was eligible, but also to oversights in the forms that resulted in financial penalties.

Hence the idea of creating Postumo to simplify procedures for all beneficiaries, wherever they may be, and thus prevent them from finding themselves in the same situation. They realized that each person's life path is unique, and that administrative formalities need to be as well.

Julien and Franck are the co-founders of Postumo.The common thread running through their professional careers is support and digital technology. With over twenty yearsexperience in wealth management, real estate, banking and insurance, and digital technology, they have developed expertise in these fields, creating a unique digital offering.

They now hope to help as many bereaved families as possible to simplify these tasks and ensure that their formalities are complete.

Postumo is a French company backed by the Banque Publique d'Investissement (BPI France).
