A Plus Finance

A Plus Finance is an independent asset management company based in Paris, France, established in 1998. While its broader operations encompass private equity, real estate, debt, and listed assets, the firm maintains a dedicated venture capital arm focused on supporting innovative French small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). This venture capital activity is primarily conducted through specific tax-incentivized funds, such as Fonds Communs de Placement dans l'Innovation (FCPI) and Fonds d'Investissement de Proximité (FIP), which are designed to channel capital into unlisted, high-growth companies.

The firm's venture capital strategy targets early to growth-stage companies within key innovative sectors. A Plus Finance primarily invests in businesses operating in the digital, healthcare, and deep technology domains, seeking to back disruptive technologies and scalable business models. Their approach emphasizes providing not just capital but also strategic guidance and operational support to their portfolio companies, leveraging their extensive network and experience in the French market.

A Plus Finance typically provides initial investment tickets ranging from €500,000 to €5 million, which translates to approximately $540,000 to $5.4 million based on recent exchange rates. This range positions them to support a variety of early and growth-stage funding rounds. Since its inception, A Plus Finance has demonstrated a significant commitment to the French innovation ecosystem, having invested in more than 150 companies across its various private equity strategies, a testament to their long-standing presence and impact. Their focus remains on identifying promising French ventures and contributing to their development and success.
