Venture Capitalist by passion, I backed up to now more than 50 growth companies involved in the Digital economy. 13 of them generated at exit 116 M€ of net gross profits. Among these entrepreneurial successes I've been lucky enough to finance from their early days to IPO Cimpress (ex: Vistaprint) listed on NASDAQ), worldwide leader on online printing, Parrot (PARRO, Eurolist B), world-wide leader of mobile phones peripherals and Xiring, European leader of highly secured transactions, listed end then sold to Ingenico in 2011.
