Yotta Capital Partners

The firm is governed by four managing partners — Vincent Deltrieu, Christophe Gégout, Xavier Herrmann, and Benoît Perrot — each with separate institutional histories at Innovacom, CEA Investissement, ACE Management, and Thales Corporate Ventures. Partner Daniel Javed leads M&A and corporate development execution. The team operates with a collective decision-making structure typical of a founder-led partnership, with no single CIO identified.

No. Yotta has operated two funds — Yotta Smart Industry (2020) and Yotta Growth Industry (2024) — but has not publicly released aggregate AUM or per-fund sizes. Equity tickets are consistently communicated at €5-15 million per transaction.

Both Yotta funds carry Article 9 status under the EU Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation, meaning they must demonstrate that every investment contributes to a measurable environmental or social objective. For Yotta, that objective is carbon-emission reduction within industrial operations. The firm employs an in-house ESG director and uses Carbone 4 as an external partner to quantify and validate carbon-footprint improvements.

Sourcing draws on the founding team’s deep ties to France’s technology-transfer ecosystem — Christophe Gégout’s CEA tenure and Vincent Deltrieu’s work with industrial research organizations are cited as origination channels. The firm regularly co-invests: the Villard transaction involved BNP Paribas Développement, Ouest Croissance, and UNEXO, and historical holdings have been syndicated across regional and sector-focused French GPs.
