Frequently asked questions
What is Kreaxi's investment mandate?
Kreaxi manages regional venture capital and private equity funds focused on early-stage through growth investments in French startups, with an emphasis on the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region. Its mandate spans seed, venture, and management buyout transactions in digital, health, and industrial sectors. The firm serves as a delegated manager for regional public investment programs alongside institutional limited partners.
How does Kreaxi source its deal flow?
Kreaxi sources primarily through its embedded position in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes entrepreneurial ecosystem, maintaining close relationships with regional incubators, university labs, and industrial clusters. Its role as a delegated manager for French public investment programs gives it visibility into grant-backed startups and academic spinouts. The firm also participates in cross-border European syndicates for later-stage rounds.
Does Kreaxi invest directly or through funds?
Kreaxi operates both direct investment programs and fund-of-fund vehicles, depending on the mandate. Its regional seed funds typically take direct equity stakes in portfolio companies, while certain programs allocate to external venture and growth funds. The firm's structure reflects the blended priorities of its public institutional limited partners.
What is Kreaxi's relationship with Bpifrance and regional authorities?
Kreaxi functions as a delegated fund manager for several public-backed investment vehicles, including regional innovation funds co-sponsored by Bpifrance and Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes regional authorities. This relationship provides stable capital commitments and preferred access to deal flow but imposes policy-related investment criteria alongside return objectives.
Which sectors does Kreaxi avoid?
Kreaxi's public sources do not explicitly declare exclusionary sectors. However, its fund mandates are concentrated in digital technology, healthcare, and industrial transition, suggesting limited activity in consumer internet, pure-play real estate, or extractive industries. The firm's regional focus further narrows the addressable sector set to areas with local ecosystem density.
