Tremplin Capital, the fund that invests in priority neighborhoods

The new world is no better than the old. In terms of diversity, French Tech is far from being exemplary. The founding teams of start-ups are often made up of white men, in their thirties, from high schools. To put an end to this typical profile, Teampact.ventures, a European structure created by top athletes including rugby player Benjamin Kayser, is launching a fund in priority neighborhoods for city policy (QPV).

Called “Tremplin Capital”, it focuses on start-ups in the pre-seed and seed phase with tickets between 30,000 and 100,000 euros. “We want to create a positive impact in neighborhoods, not just in the suburbs but also in rural neighborhoods and overseas departments,” says Florent de Gantès, partner at Teampact.ventures.
