“This €250 million fund — we’re not going to start making very big Series B investments, we’re going to use it on Series A rounds,” said Jeremy Uzan, Partner, Alven Capital.
“We usually shared our best investments with other investors. Now, we’re able to invest as much as €30 million on a single company,” he added.
The firm plans to invest its fund across 20 to 25 companies, which is in line with Alven Capital’s previous fund’s vision, which is reportedly, technology led startups.
