Cathay Innovation

À propos

Cathay Innovation is a unique global Venture Capital firm affiliated with Cathay Capital (a private equity giant). It was the first French fund to truly execute a "Global from Day 1" strategy, operating as a single unified platform across North America, Europe, and Asia. Their superpower lies in their "Corporate Ecosystem": the fund is structurally backed by over 20 Fortune 500/CAC 40 companies (TotalEnergies, Sanofi, Valeo, Michelin, BNP Paribas, etc.) who act as strategic partners to help portfolio startups sign commercial deals. Recently, they closed a massive €1B Fund III specifically dedicated to "Vertical AI" (transforming industries via AI) and hold a strong conviction that the next wave of tech giants will be industrial and B2B.
