Yellow

Yellow operates as a pre-seed venture firm forged inside the Glovo ecosystem. Co-founders Oscar Pierre and Sacha Michaud, alongside Adam Lasri, built the vehicle to back founders at the earliest stage — what they call “Day Zero” — drawing directly on their decade-plus of shipping and scaling at one of Europe's most aggressive consumer-tech logistics companies. Yellow writes €500,000 tickets into pre-seed rounds, targeting founders across the continent. They don't require a data room to engage. The portfolio mixes horizontal AI infrastructure — from MCP-server orchestration to voice agents — with vertical-industrial plays in manufacturing ERPs, energy data platforms, and auto-industry operating systems. Confirmed positions include a B2B healthcare marketplace and an AI-native private bank. Geographic reach extends to founders across Europe, supported by a network of 20-plus scale-up founders and 25 entrepreneurial families who open B2B commercial doors in the earliest go-to-market motions. Co-founders Pierre, Michaud, and Lasri anchor the investment team alongside Principal Victor Navarro and Senior Associate Camille Cros. Yellow's model fuses investing with an operator-led Founder Playbook organized around three pillars: operational insights from active Glovo leadership, cross-European commercial access through the firm's family and founder networks, and equity-storytelling craft drawn from Glovo's own billion-euro fundraising journey. The firm does not publish headcount, AUM, or total deployment. The firm's structural distinction is its origin inside a live, scaled operating company. Most pre-seed vehicles sell network access; Yellow's general partners are still running Glovo while deploying Yellow's capital, meaning portfolio founders get real-time commercial introductions from operators who are accountable for a multi-billion-euro P&L. This concurrent operator-investor posture differentiates the firm from institutional managers who sit outside the operating trenches.

Frequently asked questions

Who runs investment decisions at Yellow?

Investment decisions sit with the three Co-Founder & General Partners: Oscar Pierre, Sacha Michaud, and Adam Lasri. They are supported by Principal Victor Navarro and Senior Associate Camille Cros. The firm does not disclose an investment committee structure, but its website positions the general partners as the central decision-makers.

How does Yellow source its deal flow?

Yellow's deal flow runs heavily through its network of 20-plus European scale-up founders and 25 entrepreneurial families behind global multinationals. Because the general partners are also active founders at Glovo, much of the sourcing is relationship-driven, with founders reaching operators who are still in the scaling trenches rather than through a traditional institutional origination channel.

Is Yellow a fund or does it operate more like a syndicate?

Yellow describes itself as a pre-seed venture capital firm, not a rolling syndicate. It deploys a standard €500,000 pre-seed ticket into each investment. The firm doesn't publicly disclose whether it pools capital into a committed fund vehicle or invests via special-purpose structures, but its recurring ticket size and team structure point toward an institutional fund format.

Which sectors does Yellow explicitly avoid?

Yellow has not published a negative investment list, but the firm's stated approach is stage-driven rather than sector-prescriptive. The portfolio is heavy on enterprise software, AI/ML, insurtech, industrial tech, proptech, and energy — sectors where B2B commercial introductions from the Glovo network create genuine advantage. Consumer-social or hardware-heavy deep tech appears absent from its named portfolio companies.

What is Yellow's relationship to Glovo?

Yellow was founded by Glovo's co-founders Oscar Pierre and Sacha Michaud, alongside Adam Lasri. The general partners continue to run Glovo, a delivery and logistics platform doing roughly €8 billion in topline across 25 countries on three continents. Yellow is a separate legal entity, but the firm's commercial access and operating playbook are built directly on the Glovo leadership team's ongoing experience and relationships.
