Raising a 100M€ VC Fund for industrial deeptech startups, from pre-Series A to Series B, focusing on the first industrialization’s phase: - growing sales from 1 to 20 M€, - building industrial capacity to produce technology driven hardware at scale, - deploying environmental and societal impact at scale, - and reaching profitability.
I have deployed two VC funds in Occitanie and Nouvelle-Aquitaine, overlooked already deployed VC funds, managing altogether more than 100 startups and 100 AuM. More than 50 operations over 36 months, with tickets ranging from 150k€ to 3M€, from Seed to Series B, with a strong focus on deeptech and industrial startups. Overlooked 5 positive exits, 2 more on track.
