The firm sources primarily through Patrick Nicolet's deep operator network, built during his tenure as Group CTO of Capgemini and reinforced by his board and advisory roles.

The firm also co-invests alongside corporate VCs such as GM Ventures, expanding its sourcing reach.

Line Break Capital operates as an asset manager with a generalist mandate, but its structure resembles a personal investment vehicle with co-investment capabilities. It does not publicly disclose a fund structure or external limited partners. The firm engages in direct seed investments, restructurings, and opportunistic co-investments alongside institutional partners.

The firm targets early-stage enterprise technology companies, with confirmed investments in cybersecurity (CYSEC), decentralized infrastructure (Pocket Network), and enterprise software (NAX Group). The strategy includes both standard venture-stage seed deals and restructuring situations where Nicolet's operational expertise can be applied.

Patrick Nicolet serves as an Operating Partner at Benhamou Global Ventures (BGV), a venture capital firm investing in enterprise IT across Europe and the US. This is a professional partnership, not an ownership or fund affiliation. It provides Line Break Capital with co-investment visibility and deal-flow intersection with BGV's portfolio.
