Asterion Ventures

Asterion Ventures is the first venture capital company structured to support impact entrepreneurs from the pre-seed phase and over the long term. We finance sustainable innovations capable of triggering serial shifts and contributing to the profound transformation of the economic and social system: companies that create new market benchmarks, establish themselves as leaders in their sector and change the rules of the game, or lead an entire industry towards better practices. Asterion in brief is: 1) Investments as lead investor. We invest in about twenty projects per year with tickets of €500,000 to €2.5M in Pre-Seed / Seed for rounds up to €5M as lead investor. 2) Patient capital for the long term. We act as a reference shareholder over the long term, maintaining our pro-rata during Series A and B of our portfolio companies throughout their value creation. 3) A community of seasoned investors. Our more than 700 operating angels are carefully selected and give their time to help our portfolio companies accelerate: CEOs of unicorns, serial entrepreneurs, C-Levels of scale-ups, Executive Committee members of large groups. 4) Structured support for our portfolio companies. We organize workshops (product, pricing, go-to-market), business development introductions, assistance with strategic recruitment as well as for new fundraising. 5) Training and exchange programs. We have created a "Life After Exit" format to support founders in their post-exit transition, and an immersion program in our daily work as impact venture capital investors dedicated to younger generations of French entrepreneurial families.
