MySeedCap

Investment decisions are made collectively by its community of roughly 50 entrepreneurs and business operators. Cyrille du Peloux, Alain Rousselin, Philippe Misteli, and Philippe Julien-Laferrière are listed as the core team on the firm's website. Each investor typically has operating experience and contributes to sourcing, due diligence, and post-investment support.

Deal flow comes primarily through the personal and professional networks of its 50 or so entrepreneur-investors. The firm gives preference to start-ups located in the Paris region and operating in B2B markets. Portfolio companies like Eldorado, a financing marketplace for start-ups, further illustrate this ecosystem-driven sourcing approach.

Yes. MySeedCap participates in seed and early-stage rounds often alongside other angel groups or venture funds. The firm explicitly helps its portfolio companies secure complementary financing through its broader ecosystem of investors. Its website describes direct assistance in accessing follow-on capital, confirming an active co-investment posture.

It is operationally intensive. Investors provide strategic backing, commercial introductions to corporate decision-makers, recruitment support, and access to a vetted provider network that includes lawyers, accountants, and technical experts. Portfolio company founders frequently cite board-level involvement and pragmatic business guidance as key reasons they chose MySeedCap.

The firm operates as an asset manager registered in France, but functionally behaves as an organized business-angel syndicate. It does not disclose a single-family-wealth origin or the typical LP/GP structure of a conventional venture fund. Each member invests directly from their own capital pool through the shared MySeedCap process.
