Asterion Ventures

Venture capital firm designed to support impact-driven entrepreneurs from the pre-seed stage - and over the long term. At Asterion Ventures, we fund sustainable innovations with the potential to trigger cascading shifts and deeply transform the economic and social system: companies that define new market standards, emerge as sector leaders, change the rules of the game, or bring entire industries toward better practices. In short, Asterion is: 1) Lead investments in high-potential ventures We invest in around ten startups per year, with tickets ranging from €500,000 to €2.5M in pre-seed and seed rounds of up to €5M, always acting as a lead investor. 2) Long-term patient capital We act as a long-term reference shareholder, maintaining our pro-rata in Series A and B rounds of our portfolio companies throughout their value creation journey. 3) A network of seasoned investors Our 800+ Expert Angel Operators are carefully selected and actively support our portfolio companies. They include unicorn CEOs, serial entrepreneurs, scale-up C-levels, and executive committee members from leading corporates. 4) A structured approach to portfolio support We run hands-on workshops (product, pricing, go-to-market), make business development introductions, and help with strategic hiring and future fundraising. 5) Training and exchange programs We launched Life After Exit, a peer-learning format for founders navigating the post-exit transition, and the Immersion Program to give the next generation of entrepreneurial families in France a real-world view of early-stage impact investing.
