Investment Thesis
Backing Visionary Founders in France and Beyond.
Our investment club is focused on empowering startups in France and across Europe. By pooling resources and expertise, we deliver smart capital to innovative founders, offering support beyond just funding.
Location
France and Europe
Given our origins and locations, we prioritize startups based in France and select opportunities across Europe to leverage the region's growing entrepreneurial ecosystem.
Stage
Angels, Pre-seed and Seed rounds
We invest in early-stage startups—primarily pre-seed and seed rounds—where our contributions can catalyze meaningful growth.
We're happy when the total round (excluding debt) is between 500k€ and 1M€ and the pre-money valuation doesn't exceed 5M€.
Industries and markets
Looking at Founder-fit over Market-fit
Our investments span diverse industries, with a preference for technology, sustainability, health tech, and solutions addressing global challenges.
That said, we're open and look primarily at the "founder-fit" and quality of the team, backing driven, resilient, and innovative founders with a clear vision, strong execution capabilities, and a deep understanding of their market.
Traction
At least a MVP and some revenue
We prioritize investing in companies that demonstrate tangible progress by having at least a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) and some initial revenue. This ensures that the business has moved beyond the conceptual stage, proving its ability to create and deliver a viable solution to its target market.
