Started in 2008 by and for founders, Newfund Capital is an early-stage VC firm active in France and in the USA. It has developed a strong culture centered around entrepreneurship and encourages initiatives to support the ambitions and the development of its portfolio companies. Newfund has $300 million in AUM subscribed mostly by entrepreneurs and family offices.
Newfund's investment strategy is people-driven, focused on the constant search of entrepreneurs obsessed to realize their vision. We seek to understand entrepreneurs as individuals, appreciate their originality and play to their strengths. Greatness comes in all forms.
We write first checks between $250k and $2M and do follow-ons (we even start at $100k in the Nouvelle Aquitaine region with our NAEH fund). Beyond money, we provide access to our operating team and a strong cross-border ecosystem to help founders find product-market fit and accelerate their growth.
We want founders with skin in the game. Similarly, the Newfund team is a large LP in each fund, our interests are aligned, there is no agency.
Newfund's portfolio to date is displayed on https://www.newfundcap.com/portfolio/1, with close to 100 start-ups on board.
Newfund is currently in search of new investment opportunities. Check here if we can be the right partner for your fundraising: https://www.newfundcap.com/contact
