Vendee Globe, a privately owned entity headquartered in France, operates as a tier 3 media tech buyer. Founded in 1968, the company has approximately 30 employees and reported $9.9M in revenue as of 2023. The company's primary offering is centered on water sports, specifically organizing and promoting the Vendée Globe. This event is a non-stop, unassisted, solo round-the-world yacht race that occurs every four years. Named after the Vendée region in western France, the race both commences and concludes in the region, drawing sailors from across the globe.
Franck Cammas, a skipper from Aix-en-Provence, set a new deadline of March 1, 2026, to secure sponsors and finalize his budget for the next Vendée Globe, aiming to complete funding by the end of 2028. This follows the Vendée Globe's December 3, 2025, release of new rules for its 2028 edition. The race, scheduled to start on November 12, 2028, from Les Sables-d’Olonne, introduces new qualification pathways and strengthened sustainability measures. Earlier in November 2025, organizers unveiled these rules, detailing a limit of 37 athletes on the starting line to manage increasing participation interest, noting that only 100 sailors have completed the solo non-stop round-the-world challenge since its creation.
