Investment thesis
Serena is a French VC founded in 2008 'by entrepreneurs for entrepreneurs,' with over half its team being former operators who support founders through its PALM platform. It runs a roughly €1 billion investment program, selecting fifteen to twenty teams per year, and prefers to lead or co-lead rounds while backing companies for the long term rather than chasing early exits. Its early-growth strategy (Serena IV) targets Applied AI and Energy Transition, while its pre-seed and seed activity spans data/AI infrastructure (Serena Data Ventures II covering the modern data stack, open-source, blockchain, quantum), impact investing through Racine², and consumer innovation. It backs teams based in Europe and the US.
