Valotoire Ventures is a venture capital firm based in Paris focused on investing in early-stage French companies in the deep tech space which have the ability to generate multiple high-quality patents per year. With this first-of-its kind approach to venture investing, Valotoire focuses on investing in young (including pre-revenue) companies whose innovative, patentable technology forms the basis of both their business model and their competitive advantage. Further, Valotoire seeks to invest in young companies whose technology is not only innovative and protectable, but whose technology meets the needs of large global markets and whose founding teams have the ability to execute growth strategies for their businesses. After identification of such companies, Valotoire actively aids them in protecting their innovations, developing their patent portfolios and with growing and expanding their business internationally. The team has developed an innovative evaluation methodology which efficiently ascertains the soundness of such early-stage technology investments. The team’s methodology has resulted in identifying, with a high degree of accuracy, a number of successful companies in France at very early stages in their lifecycles. The Valotoire team has worked together in France for several years and has developed strong relationships in the relevant ecosystems in this very innovative, technologically savvy, and entrepreneurial country.
