Singular

Singular is a prominent European venture capital firm, headquartered in Paris, France, established in 2020 by co-founders Jean-Baptiste Dumont, Jeremy Uzan, and Rafaël Picard. The firm positions itself as a generalist investor, dedicated to backing ambitious entrepreneurs across various sectors within the European technology landscape. Singular's investment strategy spans from Seed to Series B stages, aiming to identify and support high-growth companies with significant potential.

A distinctive aspect of Singular's approach is its "Venture Capital as a Service" (VCaaS) model. Beyond providing capital, Singular offers extensive operational support to its portfolio companies, encompassing critical areas such as talent acquisition, sales strategy, marketing, finance, and mergers & acquisitions. This hands-on engagement is designed to accelerate the growth and scalability of their investments, differentiating them from traditional VC models. Their initial check sizes typically range from €1 million to €15 million, reflecting their commitment to significant early-stage and growth-stage investments.

Singular has rapidly grown its capital base, demonstrating strong investor confidence. The firm successfully closed its first fund at €225 million in 2020, followed by an even larger second fund of €400 million in 2023, bringing their total assets under management to approximately €700 million. Their portfolio includes notable European tech success stories such as Aircall, a cloud-based phone system, and Sorare, a fantasy sports game utilizing NFTs. While primarily focused on France, Singular actively invests across other key European markets, including Germany, the UK, and Spain, reinforcing its pan-European ambition.
