OneRagtime

OneRagtime is a Paris-based venture capital firm established in 2017, operating with a distinctive "Venture Capital as a Service" model. This approach leverages an exclusive community of investors to source, finance, and scale early-stage European and US startups. The firm positions itself as a hybrid platform, combining the agility of a startup studio with the financial backing of a traditional VC fund, aiming to bridge the gap between innovative startups and a network of seasoned investors and corporate partners.

The firm primarily targets Seed and Series A stage companies, demonstrating a broad sector agnostic approach while focusing on disruptive technologies and business models. OneRagtime's typical first cheque sizes range from €500,000 to €3 million, which translates to approximately $540,000 to $3.24 million, depending on the prevailing exchange rates. This flexibility allows them to support promising ventures at critical early growth phases, providing not just capital but also strategic guidance and access to their extensive network.

Since its inception, OneRagtime has built a substantial portfolio, having invested in over 25 startups across various industries. The firm has successfully raised more than €100 million (approximately $108 million) from its investor community, underscoring its ability to attract significant capital for its investment activities. OneRagtime's value proposition extends beyond funding, offering operational support, mentorship, and opportunities for portfolio companies to collaborate with large corporations, thereby accelerating their market penetration and scaling efforts.
