List of the 50 largest venture capital investors France [2022]

Venture capital is repeatedly cited as a decisive driver for a country’s innovative strength. Seed and growth capital are of great importance for startups, as fundamental competitive advantages can only be created with sufficient equity. The extraordinary success of young American entrepreneurs is due not least to the very pronounced venture capital (VC) scene in the USA. In no other country in the world does so much venture capital flow as in the United States. In Europe, more and more countries are following the example of the USA and promoting the venture capital scene. France, where some of the largest European VCs are based, is particularly successful in this regard. For this reason, we have compiled this list of the largest venture capital funds in France.

French VCs are not only active in the digital industry (artificial intelligence, machine learning, big data, e-commerce, etc.), but have also recognized the potential of life science and biotech early on. In this context, most venture capital funds from Switzerland operate internationally with a particular focus on Europe. Among the best-known names are industry giants such as Sofinnova Partners, 123 Investment Managers or Partech Ventures. But also smaller companies like Galileo Partners or Breega Capital should be considered.
