Strategies

AfricaVC
Backing champions of African tech since 2017, the Africa team seeks the next generation of category leaders across the continent. Investing from seed to growth, the team is based on the ground, and leverages their operational expertise and Partech’s global networks to support founders on their journey to scale. The team partners with entrepreneurs who combine technology and operational excellence to address large opportunities across the continent. From seed to series C, the fund invests in tech-enabled businesses across sectors. Initial checks from €1 to €15m, seed to series C.
SeedVC
Spotting, backing, and working with exceptional founders from the very beginning of their journey is the shared passion and sole focus of the Partech Seed team, since 2013. They extensively support their portfolio companies to bring them from 0 to 1 and beyond. The Seed team backs entrepreneurial talent, chasing the next disruptors in Europe and around the globe. They are not limited by industries, markets or models, but instead focus on identifying future leaders at the start of their journey. This requires a broad scope, and a genuine open-mindedness towards what the most talented founders come up with. Initial checks from €300k to €3m, as a lead or syndicate investor. Investing as early as day 1, in Europe & around the globe.
GrowthGrowth
Since 2015 the Growth team has invested in European scale-ups, working with founders to help build lasting, category-defining companies, from €10 to €100m+ run rate revenue. With their capital and expertise, they seek first and foremost to accelerate organic growth, but also fund acquisitions and simplify cap tables. They are thrilled to become a long-term partner to founders and management teams, and approach each investment in a tailor-made way. Investments go to highly-driven bootstrapped or VC-backed scale-ups on the path to profitability. The team keeps a concentrated portfolio, focusing their expertise across operations, PE, M&A and consulting, on businesses with industry-leading potential. They are most often mainly minority shareholders, but also majority shareholders when in close partnership with founders. Initial checks from €25 to €70m (and up to €100m with Partech LPs), as a lead or co-lead investor.
VentureVC
The Venture team backs European companies at Series A and Series B, with proven mission-critical software to power the digital transformation of Enterprises and SMBs. Thanks to their operational and entrepreneurial roots, they provide hands-on support from product and engineering to sales and marketing. Several partners on the team have been founders, and have long honed deep functional expertise. Similarly, their industry experience directly informs their investment focus areas. They invest in high-growth, emerging category leaders with innovative business models, strong unit economics, achievable profitability ambitions, and revenue from about €1m to €10m ARR. They’re primarily focused on B2B companies and the major pillars of digital transformation: Security, Cloud Infrastructure, Fintech & Insurtech, Healthcare, and B2B platforms.
