In 2016, we published our very first list of the VCs and corporates who invest in French start-ups. Since then, our different articles have accumulated over 80k views and we shared the list with over 5.000 entrepreneurs
Thanks for the love ❤ !!!

We know how much fundraising is mission critical. The goal of this list is to help you maximize your chances to raise, save your time and help you target the right funds quickly.

We’re publishing and maintaining this list to be true to our core DNA of being not only an investor, but the provider of operational, actionable best practices to the ecosystem.

What’s new?

  • The excel file is now split by tabs by type of funds (Vanilla VCs, European, US but also corporate,…) for convenience
  • We have highlighted investors who have billion dollar companies in their portfolio or companies that raised more than 100M$ (look up the 🦄 emoji)
  • You can now 🌈PRINT 🌈the ultimate vc list in a beautiful A2/A1 format
that will look good on your wall, admit it

😇 Needless to say that reaching out to all the VCs massively is the best way to waste your time, and the worst way to fund your start-up.

Take some time to understand what type of deals they are doing, what their favorite industries / size of rounds are, and to which specific investment professional in their team you should reach out.

TL;DR, I want the file!
