I left sunday a year and a half ago with a strong desire to embark on an entrepreneurial adventure. At that time I was lucky enough to catch up with Kamel who I met at Serena and to meet Didier and Vincent at the same time. We quickly went from a blank sheet of paper to the firm conviction that we had a story to write together in the venture capital industry. We embarked on a journey to support early-stage founders with a vision to create a leading seed-stage platform in Europe. Today, we are excited to officially introduce Varsity to the world. Bold visions, shaping the future: we are investing between €1 to €5 million in startups led by ambitious European entrepreneurs, acting as their coaches to let them build legendary companies. We are proud to share some of our initial accomplishments: 👉 We’ve partnered with InfraVia Capital Partners (Vincent, Laëtitia, Bruno) to launch our management company. 👉 In only six months we obtained approval from the Autorité des marchés financiers (AMF) – France, completed the initial closing of our €150m fund and obtained the Tibi label. 👉 We've already closed five deals and welcomed exceptional entrepreneurs to the Varsity team including Mahdi, Alexandre, Gaspard (Sensinov), Pierre, Marie (RockFi), Thibault, Gautier, Yannis (Pharaday) and Gaël (Kog). This is just the beginning, and we have lots of good news to share over the coming weeks. Stay tuned! Eloi Léa
