Finck Ventures

Jerome Finck serves as Head of Japan and Managing Director at Rothschild & Co while concurrently operating Finck Ventures. The two entities are structurally separate — Finck Ventures is a personal investment company, not a Rothschild subsidiary. However, Finck's dual role creates an operational nexus where the venture vehicle can leverage the advisory firm's global network and institutional relationships for sourcing and diligence.

Alsace Business Angels and Bpifrance are the two most common co-investors appearing in Finck Ventures deals. Bpifrance is the French public investment bank, and its involvement often signals government-backed support for the startups Finck Ventures targets. Alsace Business Angels represents a regional angel network aligned with the firm's Grand Est geographic focus.

The firm focuses on early-stage companies, specifically seed and start-up rounds. The mandate is generalist, meaning investments span multiple sectors without a rigid thesis constraint. This stage focus aligns with the small-scale, principal-investor structure — seed and start-up checks require less institutional infrastructure than growth or late-stage venture.
