GUEST ANNOUNCEMENT: François Robinet, Founder and Managing Partner at AVP 🚀 AVP started inside AXA with an $80m venture fund focused on Series A. Ten years later the firm manages $2.5bn across venture and growth, investing across Europe and the US with a truly transatlantic strategy. François believes that while Europe has built a strong startup ecosystem, the biggest gap now is capital for the next generation of deep tech companies. Technologies like AI, quantum computing and robotics require far larger early rounds, sometimes $100m at Series A, and Europe still lacks funds with the size and risk appetite to lead those rounds. We sat down to discuss: 🚀 Building AVP from an $80m fund to $2.5bn 🚀 Why Europe and the US need a transatlantic investment strategy 🚀 When European startups should expand to the US 🚀 The people and capital needed to scale globally 🚀 Why Europe needs bigger venture funds for deep tech Check it out here: https://lnkd.in/duTtM3A7 Or search “Scaling Europe - François Robinet” on YouTube or Spotify.
