Who's behind La Vitesse

Most finance lead companies are run by marketers who have never sat on the other side of a deal. La Vitesse is not.

I'm Joseph. I started La Vitesse in 2024, and before this my whole career was in finance. I studied law and commerce at Macquarie University in Sydney, NSW. I started out doing law in banking and finance, then moved into investment banking. I spent years on capital raisings, IPOs and acquisitions, plus securitisation and structured finance work with non-bank lenders. Deals in the hundreds of millions, some over a billion. The kind of work where if your information is wrong, it costs real money and your name is on it.

Why it runs differently
In banking

Nothing gets acted on until it is checked. Every figure, every name, every claim is verified before anyone moves.

In finance lead-gen

Shared lists sold to five people at once. Numbers that ring out. People who never actually asked for finance. Brokers paying good money to chase ghosts.

What I built

So I built the thing I would have wanted if I were the broker.

Exclusive

Every lead is sold to one broker only. No shared pools, no aged data.

SMS verified

Every mobile is verified by the person before it reaches you. You call someone real who put their hand up.

Real intent, real time

Our own paid campaigns across Google and Meta, qualified on intent and delivered the moment they clear.

No lock-in

No lock-in contracts. Buy leads when you want them, stop when you want.

What we cover

Australia wide.
