📢 𝐑𝐞𝐯𝐚𝐢𝐚’𝐬 𝐂𝐥𝐢𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐆𝐮𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐕𝐂 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐠𝐫𝐨𝐰𝐭𝐡 𝐢𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐬 𝐢𝐬 𝐥𝐢𝐯𝐞! 🌍 With the fight against climate change more urgent than ever, VCs and Growth investors have an important role to play. However, aligning investment strategies with global climate goals demands a carefully calibrated approach that balances returns and decarbonization efforts. Climate change has been a key theme for Revaia since our founding, and we know that navigating the tradeoffs can be complex. That’s why we have developed a comprehensive Climate Guide, in collaboration with Carbon Cutter (ex-Magelan), to help investors learn about the frameworks and tools that can help their portfolio companies meet ambitious climate targets while still recognizing the financial realities of VC and growth investing. You will find in the report: 📌 An introduction to key climate change terminology 📌 Results of a survey among main European VCs to understand the current state of the art of decarbonization 📌 Evaluations of the major decarbonization frameworks 📌 Practical advice on how to implement decarbonization strategies 📌 Forewords from climate experts Philippe Drobinski (Energy4Climate (E4C)) and Adrien Destrez (Carbon Cutter) and exclusive testimonies of VCs and tech companies: Elodie Broad (Balderton Capital), Jérémy Rasori (Serena), Damien Didier (daphni), Julie de Mony-Pajol (EcoVadis), Thomas Bannelier (Welcome to the Jungle), Caroline Devaux (Vestiaire Collective) and Guilhem Isaac Georges (Contentsquare). While the guide is primarily aimed at investors, its principles can also be used to engage with companies for a robust decarbonization pathway. 👉 Download it to get a clear roadmap to not only meet regulatory and stakeholder expectations but also contribute to a more sustainable future! https://lnkd.in/gRuYuGva 👉 Get an overview of the report in this article: https://lnkd.in/g6qvDbCx 🙏 Shout out to Anaïs Blarel who led this amazing project and many thanks to all our contributors: all the people mentioned above as well as Emilie Garcia (Bpifrance), Erika Blanckaert (Invest Europe), Johannes Lenhard and Mohammed Ali (VentureESG), Maurine Riou (France Digitale), Niclas Vogt (Startup-Verband), Stanislas Ray (ACT Coordinator for ADEME), and Alexandra Botzke for her stunning design. #climate #climatechange #decarbonization #VC #growth

In her latest interview with Grégoire Favet on B SMART, Alice Albizzati explored the current landscape of crossover investing, a strategy bridging both public and private markets. While crossover investments have significantly dropped from their 2021 peak, they remain resilient in Europe, with notable activity in sectors like software, AI, and energy. Alice also highlighted the challenges slowing crossover investment and the value of financial market expertise in guiding companies toward ambitious exits, whether through IPOs or, more commonly today, private equity. 👉 Watch the full interview (in French): https://lnkd.in/e97an_Ym 👉 Explore our report on Crossover Investment (in English): https://lnkd.in/gzBj5-NV #CrossoverInvestment #CrossoverInvesting #Growth #VC #PrivateEquity

Together with Startup-Verband, our colleague Nirwan Tajik has spent the past few months outlining concrete steps to elevate Germany as a leading startup hub. A key insight from this work is that the country already possesses the essential building blocks to rise to the top of Europe's tech scene. The challenge lies in effectively recombining and utilizing these resources. In the Financing Chapter of their 2030 Innovation Agenda, Startup-Verband demonstrates how Germany can reduce reliance on foreign capital for late-stage growth. By harnessing domestic capital, German tech companies can become global leaders, driving job creation and wealth growth.

Is Private Equity made for tech? If you missed it in August (and we totally get it!), the upcoming IPEM is the perfect moment to dive into Alice Albizzati's op-ed, part of Maddyness' "Summer Op-eds." As Europe aims to build a sustainable economy, startups need robust financing to scale globally, yet the US still outpaces Europe in late-stage funding and large exits. Private Equity is playing a critical role in bridging this gap, as IPO markets and corporate acquisitions remain limited in Europe, making PE a key avenue for financing startups' continued growth. Understanding the PE world will be increasingly important for European VCs and founders. In this op-ed (in French), Alice looks at how this relationship is evolving. 🔗 Check it out: https://lnkd.in/dUdJmJvj #tech #growth #privateequity #IPEM2024

🌟 Robust financing is crucial for transforming innovative ideas into reality. Whether through IPOs, acquisitions, or investments for independence, startups need strong capitalization to thrive in their late stages and beyond. In our inaugural report covering the period 2017-2022, “The Path To IPO,” we highlighted the essential role of Crossover Investors—firms investing in both private and public markets—in sustaining momentum and building a competitive startup economy in Europe. While 2020 and 2021 were record years for Crossover Investing globally, our 2023 review reveals key insights into its state in Europe. Despite a decline in investment activity from non-European investors over the past two years, Europe’s Crossover sector remains robust, especially in SaaS and software. This strength is partly due to a few firms that have significantly influenced the market. 👉 Let's dive into the numbers and explore what they reveal ⬇️ 👉 Explore the full report: https://lnkd.in/gzBj5-NV #CrossoverInvestment #CrossoverInvesting #Growth #VC #Cornerstone Alice Albizzati Hadrien Comte Nirwan Tajik Guillaume Morelli, CIIA, Aurélie Girod Ismail El khalloufi Gaultier de Tarade Stefan Maassen Maïlys Ferrere
