Investment thesis

French Partners positions itself as a co-investment platform bringing together experienced, internationally minded investors and serial entrepreneurs. Its focus is the French diaspora: it invests capital wherever a French entrepreneur has chosen to live and helps them grow both locally and internationally. Beyond equity funding, the firm offers portfolio companies access to a broad francophone and francophile network of leaders and functional and sector experts based in France and across five continents, notably the United States and China. Targets are growth-stage startups and SMEs with revenues in the tens of millions and innovative funds.
