CoopVenture

About

CoopVenture is a cooperative investment company launched in 2021 by the Mouvement Scop, French Tech in the Alps-Grenoble, and Alma. With €4.5 million, it funds innovative companies with a digital component that involve their employees in capital and decision-making: SAS primarily based in Rhône-Alpes and Scop/Scic throughout France. Its check sizes range from €150K to €400K, intervening in seed, post-seed, or development stages, through equity, convertible bonds, or participatory notes. The model is evergreen: funded companies gradually reinvest in the vehicle, with a support horizon of at least seven years. Among its documented investments: Be My Media, Animalinks (Coho), TerriFlux, Startin’Blox, Halias Technologies, Virvolt, and Spash. In 2026, CoopVenture led the round for Virvolt with €400K and participated in the Series A of Spash. For a founder who wants to maintain shared governance without aiming for a quick exit, it is a source of patient capital backed by the cooperative network and the Grenoble ecosystem.
