À propos
Motier Ventures is the "Venture Family Office" of the Moulin-Houzé family (owners of the Galeries Lafayette Group). Founded in 2021 by Guillaume Houzé and Nicolas Essayan (who recently left to launch Drysdale Ventures), the fund defines itself as a "Business Angel at Scale." They combine the speed and agility of a business angel (decisions in a few days, founder-friendly mindset) with the financial power of a VC fund. While they historically looked at the Future of Commerce, they have become one of the most aggressive and high-profile investors in the AI and Deeptech wave in France, backing almost every major French AI company.
