ABOUT
Investessor is a Paris association of private investors created in 2002, which describes itself as the first business-angel network formed in France. It is generalist and selects French startups raising seed rounds, usually €100k–€1M, through pre-selection, selection and investment pitches, an instruction by two member investors and a shared due diligence. Each business angel decides freely whether to invest, individually or through a personal vehicle, and a member acting as “chargé de participation” follows each funded company.
INVESTMENT THESIS
Generalist seed investing (digital, health, industry, impact, services, deeptech, consumer) in innovative startups based in France, anywhere in the country, raising generally €100k–€1M.
