iVesta Family Office
iVesta Family Office was established in 2016 by Olivier Duha, Pierre-Marie de Forville, Remi Douchet, Ariane Darmon and Christine Vu Thien. The founders built the firm around the fortunes of first-generation entrepreneurs who remain active operators. Pierre-Marie de Forville previously founded Sapians and Olivier Duha co-founded Webhelp. The firm deploys across venture capital, private equity, real estate, hedge funds, private credit and infrastructure. It executes through direct co-investments, SPVs and fund commitments. Confirmed co-investors include Céline Lazorthes of Leetchi and Pierre Kosciusko-Morizet of PriceMinister. Coverage spans Europe and North America with emphasis on early-revenue through pre-IPO stages. Technology focuses include AI/ML, enterprise software and Web3. The firm maintains a New York office led by Remi Douchet and Yasmina Odjo. It holds B Corp certification since 2021 and maintains membership in YPO through Pierre-Marie de Forville. The firm also participates in CroissancePlus. No operational events from the last 24 months appear in available records. iVesta integrates its client community, branded La Tribu, directly into ownership and deal flow. This arrangement creates a closed loop between capital allocation and the entrepreneurs who supply both assets and proprietary opportunities.

Frequently asked questions
Who runs investment decisions at iVesta Family Office?
Olivier Duha, Pierre-Marie de Forville and Remi Douchet lead investment decisions alongside the other founders. The firm routes opportunities through its client-shareholder community before external execution.
How does iVesta Family Office source proprietary deal flow?
The firm sources through La Tribu, its community of 80-100 entrepreneur clients who also hold ownership stakes. This network supplies direct co-investment opportunities alongside external GPs.
Is iVesta Family Office structured as a single family office or does it operate more like a venture firm?
iVesta operates as a multi-family office that accepts multiple first-generation entrepreneur families. It combines family-office advisory with venture-style direct investments and SPVs.

What investment stages does iVesta Family Office typically target?
iVesta targets seed through pre-IPO stages with emphasis on early revenue, growth and scaling companies. It avoids pure startup formation and post-IPO public-market activity.
Where does the underlying wealth come from?
The capital originates from first-generation French and European entrepreneurs who built operating businesses in technology and services sectors.
Does iVesta Family Office maintain philanthropic structures, and how are they separated?
The firm supports the ESCP Foundation. Philanthropic activity sits outside the core investment mandate and does not affect allocation decisions for client capital.
