Finovam Gestion

Finovam Gestion is an investment company based in Villeneuve d'Ascq, France, operating under the approval of the Autorité des Marchés Financiers (AMF). The firm specializes in providing capital to innovative Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) that demonstrate significant growth potential. Their core strategy involves acquiring minority stakes, positioning themselves as supportive partners rather than controlling entities. This approach allows founders to retain operational control while benefiting from Finovam's financial backing and strategic guidance.

The firm primarily targets companies in their early to growth stages, typically participating in Seed, Series A, and occasionally Series B funding rounds. Finovam Gestion is known for its flexible investment approach, often co-investing alongside other venture capital funds, business angels, or financial institutions to provide comprehensive funding solutions. Their typical initial investment, or first cheque, ranges from €100,000 to €1.5 million, reflecting their commitment to supporting promising ventures from their nascent stages through significant expansion.

Finovam Gestion maintains a strong focus on several key sectors, including Digital technologies, Health, Industry 4.0, Green Tech, and Food Tech, identifying areas ripe for innovation and disruption. While their primary geographic focus is the Hauts-de-France region, they are open to opportunities across other French territories. Beyond capital injection, the firm emphasizes providing strategic support, leveraging its network and expertise to assist portfolio companies with governance, business development, and market access, including international expansion. They aim to be a long-term partner, guiding companies from their initial creation phase through to successful market leadership.
