ABOUT

Clint Capital is a Paris portfolio management company authorised by the AMF in July 2024 and owned by the Caption group, an alternative-investment platform for private investors. Its first fund, FPCI Blueberry, invests in innovative French technology companies at pre-seed and early stage, targeting about 20 holdings, and is open from €30,000 to business owners, professionals and other qualified investors, including under the 150-0 B ter reinvestment regime. The fund is run by Lucas Mesquita (co-founder of Axeleo Capital) and Mathieu Artaud (formerly at VINCI Energies' corporate venture seed fund). It led Wavo's €3.5M first round in February 2025 and Oriane's $1.5M round in September 2025.

INVESTMENT THESIS

Early-stage tech companies with sound unit economics that can reach profitability quickly, need only one or two further funding rounds after entry, and operate in niche markets with proven demand and limited competition; exit strategy aligned with the European M&A market.
