What’s our mission.
The US and the sillicon Valley used to be the prominent place to start, scale, and sell a business (or do an IPO).
Since 2015-2016, EU saw a drastic change in the funding (VC) ecosystem as well as in the level and maturity of startup with the potential to compete in order to become market leader.
More specifically, the UK, and more recently France, are the 2 most active tech hubs, both regarding the number of new unicorns as well as funding options.
We want to invest at the very begin of their journey.
“We believe that EU has a unique opportunity to become the new sillicon valley of this decade”

Yoann Benhacoun
I'm 36, a father of 2 kids, and live in Paris, France.
I have a background in finance and left this industry to become an entrepreneur. In 2012, I founded Mobypark, an airbnb for parking, joined StartupBootcamp accelerator in Amsterdam in 2013, raised funds in 2014 to launch the service in 8 countries in EU and sold the company in 2017.
As I wanted to join a unicorn to learn from inside how to scale a company, I took the Country Manager France & Belgium position at Moovit (acquired by Intel 1B$ in May 2020).
I've always been fascinated and passionate about investment. I'm excited to launch and dedicate serious amount of time in this massive opportunity to create a club to invest and to meet extraordinary people.
I do believe that investing in female founders is not only the right choice for the future, but is also the best return on investment as they tend to be top performers.
I have lived in London, Madrid, Boston, Los Angeles and Amsterdam, which give me an edge on the deal flow I receive directly.
