Marco&Co

Investor profile | Builders Republic

About

Marco&Co is the Angers-based family office created in 2018 by Emmanuel Picot, co-founder of Evolis, and developed with his son Romain Picot, head of investments. The structure invests equity in French startups at Seed and Series A stages whose product has already achieved product-market fit, with an average check size of €100k and an announced capacity of up to €200k. Its focus is on impact in a broad sense: energy and decarbonization, circular economy, mobility, education, health, and sports, with a presence in the Pays de la Loire and the Paris region. Marco&Co also funds venture capital funds as an LP. The published portfolio includes VoltR, SynDev, Ecklo, Cube, Dowgo, and Aptimiz; the structure announced 13 funded startups in April 2026, and Romain Picot indicates he sits on the boards of its investments. Family capital, operational support, and geographical proximity make it a suitable partner for early-stage rounds with commercially validated impact.
