Partech

About

A description of the fund : Partech is one of the most international and multi-stage Venture Capital firms based in France. Originally founded in San Francisco in 1982, it has evolved into a global powerhouse headquartered in Paris. Partech is unique because it operates five distinct, autonomous strategies under one brand: Seed, Venture, Growth, Africa, and Impact. This structure allows them to cover the entire lifecycle of a company, from a €300k pre-seed check to a €50M+ growth investment. They are known for their "Transatlantic" DNA, bridging European startups to the US market, and for being pioneers in investing in the African tech ecosystem.
