In this episode of 5 Minutes in the Lower Middle Market, we break down the story of François Pinault — the entrepreneur who started with a small timber trading company and eventually built Kering, the luxury empire behind Gucci, Balenciaga, Saint Laurent, and more.
It’s a reminder that many great empires start in small, boring industries — and that the first business is often just the platform that earns you the right to build the next one.
