ABOUT
Force Business Angels (registered as Eure et Loir Business Angels) was founded in June 2010 in Chartres by about twenty entrepreneurs with the support of the Eure-et-Loir Chamber of Commerce, and is a member of France Angels. Its members, active or retired entrepreneurs and experts, meet monthly to study projects and each invests personally, directly, through a PEA-PME or a personal holding; the association itself makes no investment. Members take minority stakes in seed-stage startups with proof of concept, in buy-out vehicles of SME acquirers and in growth companies, with a 3–6 year horizon (homepage: 5–7 years). Companies listed on the site include MutuaMea, Néogourmets and Drinkee, plus exited holdings ABC Transfer and Biocreation Cosmetic.
INVESTMENT THESIS
