In September 2016, we published the first-ever public list of VCs and Corporates that invest in France. Since then, our different articles have accumulated over 100k views and we shared the list with over 5.000 entrepreneurs.

We know that raising funds can be very time-consuming. For most startups, fundraising is mission-critical. Our goal with this list is to help you maximize your chances to raise, save your time, and help you target the right VCs quickly.

At Serena, 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 (see here, here, and here for other examples of our entrepreneurial content).

What’s new in this edition?

  • The excel file is over. Welcome to our new platform with the option of filtering by investment stage and by type of funds (Vanilla VCs, European, US but also corporate)
  • Super easy to highlight investors who have $Bn companies in their portfolio, you just have to click on the unicorn button 🦄
  • For 🇪🇺 & 🇺🇸 investors, we have highlighted the people who cover France (hint: a qualified intro is always better than a cold calling message on Linkedin).

PS for investors: if you‘re not mentioned in the list or if some information is not correct, let us know right here.

Lots of success and termsheets to you!
