Letter from Founder
"Progress must aim at an elevation of the human condition."
CFB was born as a seed, now a sprout, of a new world.
Doing business is never easy:
It is necessary to have clear objectives to be achieved in order to be able to map out the path to follow.
We need to establish the core values of what we’re doing to better guide the choices we make.
Like all visionaries, I’ve always lived in a world I see as imperfect, knowing that it would be possible to create a better one; a world capable of restoring to people the dignity of being able to live where and how they want, the ownership of their own time, without being forced to set aside their professional and career ambitions.
The Person manages to establish himself professionally
without giving up the personal sphere and one's own "times and places"
The maturation of this idea didn’t come suddenly, but as a result of many failures, many attempts at improvement, many of which failed.
I thank those who have always believed in me, but above all, I thank those who never did and continue not to do so, forcing me to react and continually improve.
I thank those colleagues who taught me not to be afraid of difficulties.
And also, I thank those who made me understand that saying “it can’t be done” really means “I can’t do it, but I’ll never admit it.”
The project support mechanism, called CFBnet, is the direct result of the desire to “never stop” in the face of difficulties, faced with the near impossibility of accessing public or private funding with the usual excuse of “too much”: too young, too old, too small, founded too many years ago, founded too few years ago!
The refusal to compromise by
joining the unscrupulous, the avoidance
of founding business consortia that only
distort the initial idea, and the avoidance
of participating in phantom European
projects that return the crumbs the country
pays annually, today allows CFB to
move without any constraints, relying
solely on its own values and strength.
To get things done, you need people, not money.
People produce wealth
All this has allowed us to find a way to react, to raise our heads, to finally understand that “to get things done, you need People,” not money; and the work of the company must be geared toward People, that is, by valuing their contributions, allowing everyone to proceed at their own pace without feeling diminished or “inadequate.”
The mechanism for redistributing the wealth produced establishes a primary rule: People make it possible to produce wealth, not companies, which only have the ability to offer roles. A new approach is also introduced regarding the direct financing of projects, which becomes a form of investment based on the real economy, not on securities trading or speculation, and is capable of meeting the needs of both savers and investors.
It’s been a long journey to this point, but this is just the beginning of the next phase.
In my vision, there’s a CFB in every corner of the globe, a more virtuous way of producing consumer goods and services that isn’t purely for profit, and a population of “professionals of their time” who know how to organize their lives, enjoying their free time, living in their own space, with the same passion as always.
