Frequently asked questions

How many funds back AI startups in France?

187 funds made at least 2 new AI investments over the last 36 months, based on the rounds tracked by Builders Republic: 120 are headquartered in France, 67 abroad. 58 are very active, with at least 4 new investments in the last 12 months across all sectors.

How many AI rounds are raised in France?

Over the last 36 months, Builders Republic tracked 539 AI rounds in France: 333 at pre-seed or seed, 98 at Series A and 56 at Series B or later. The remaining rounds have no stage or are other operations.

Which rounds count as AI?

Builders Republic tags a round as AI when artificial intelligence is at the core of the product: detection, analysis, generation or automation. A startup that only uses AI tools internally is not included. The list therefore spans every sector, from healthcare to finance.

How are the funds on this page chosen?

A fund enters the list once it has made at least 2 new AI investments over the last 36 months, based on the rounds tracked by Builders Republic. The sectors funds declare do not count: most of them declare almost all of them. Builders Republic then hand-picks three active funds per stage, placed according to the stages they declare. This is not a ranking. The figure on each card counts its new AI investments over the last 36 months, all stages combined.

How can I see the full list?

All 187 funds in this list show up on this page with a free account, and each one opens its profile: team, portfolio, latest investments. You can then add the ones that fit you to your fundraising CRM.
