Investment thesis

Leia Capital invests in women-led or co-led projects (where women hold at least 30% equity) that demonstrate market potential through early measurable results such as customer interest, prototypes, pilot programs, or initial partnerships. The network explicitly avests in all sectors except those presenting ethical concerns and focuses on French companies or those operating in France. Beyond capital provision, members leverage their collective expertise, networks, and experiences to provide personalized mentorship and support tailored to each entrepreneur's stage and needs, aiming to create alignment between investors and founders around shared growth objectives.

Cherubic Ventures

Cherubic Ventures is known for investing before a startup even launches or reaches product-market fit, often as the first institutional investor, while also setting aside half of its latest fund for follow-on support all the way through pre-IPO; it was also one of the first venture firms to operate as a solo general partner and has grown into one of the largest funds run that way. Founded by Matt Cheng, who previously built two companies that each reached over $1 billion in public market value, the firm was designed from the start to invest across both the U.S. and Asia, backing early breakout companies in places like Croatia, Bangladesh, Japan, and Taiwan in addition to the U.S., with its Taipei roots still central to its identity alongside its Silicon Valley presence.
