About
Ring Capital is a major Impact Venture & Growth firm based in Paris, founded in 2017 by Nicolas Celier (ex-Alven) and Geoffroy Bragadir (Founder of Empruntis). They define themselves as an "Ecosystem dedicated to impact." Unlike traditional funds that added an ESG slide to their deck, Ring was built from day one to finance the Social and Environmental Transition. They are a certified B-Corp and have a unique "Full Stack" approach, covering everything from pre-seed impact startups to profitable SME buyouts, and even philanthropy.
