Partech International Ventures

Each office — San Francisco, Paris, Berlin, Dakar, and Milan — operates as a local origination hub with its own network, while investment decisions go through a centralized process. This allows Partech to access founders in distinct technology ecosystems without operating as a loose franchise. The platform's wide geographic reach gives its portfolio companies exposure to North American, European, and African markets simultaneously.

Partech invests from seed through venture and growth stages, running dedicated teams for each. The firm has backed companies at the earliest institutional rounds, as with Qevlar AI's recent entry into the portfolio in March 2026, and later-stage rounds such as OpsMill's $14 million Series A led in May 2026. This multi-stage approach allows Partech to maintain relationships with founders across a company's entire lifecycle.

General Partner Emmanuel Delaveau manages relationships with potential investors across all five offices, according to Partech's contact disclosures. He is listed as the primary contact for LP inquiries from the firm's offices in Paris, Berlin, Dakar, Milan, and San Francisco.

The firm's deal activity in 2026 shows a clear emphasis on enterprise infrastructure, fintech, and cybersecurity. OpsMill, a data-management platform for infrastructure automation, and Qevlar AI, an AI-native cybersecurity startup, were both added to the portfolio in early 2026. Six of its companies appeared in a recent Fintech 100 industry ranking, confirming a durable fintech allocation.

Partech was founded in 1982 in Silicon Valley by European pioneers rather than starting in a European capital and later expanding to the US. That origin gave the firm an early transatlantic operating DNA, with decision-makers on both sides of the Atlantic from inception — a structural difference from firms that treat international offices as ancillary outposts.
