- NeoFarm
Led · Series B · Sep 2025
NeoFarm develops automated, regenerative vegetable farms that combine robotics and farm-management software rooted in agroecology. Founded in 2018, the company holds three patents for its proprietary robotics technology. It currently operates three pilot sites producing 120 tons of certified organic vegetables annually. The new funding will support construction of a 25-hectare flagship farm in Lisses (Essonne) scheduled to open in 2025, featuring 10 hectares of greenhouses, biodiversity zones, robotic tools, automated irrigation and on-site processing. The Lisses site is designed for 1,300 tons annual capacity, supplying the equivalent of 17,000 schoolchildren across more than 20 chemical-free vegetable varieties with near water autonomy. NeoFarm plans to deploy more than 25 large-scale farms across Europe by 2030 to scale organic production while improving farmer well-being and local food sovereignty.

The fleet includes made-in-France mechanical and electric two-seater bikes and electric scooters, and the company emphasizes durability and an eco-responsible approach. Pony employs about 200 people and reported a target of €29M in revenue for the year. Its model includes a participatory financing feature where residents can buy a bike and return it to the platform in exchange for remuneration. Pony handles the full value chain from manufacturing to platform management, logistics, repair and warehousing. The company positions itself as the only French free-floating, dockless operator and aims to equip all French cities with more than 50,000 inhabitants, including Paris.
- Electra
Participated · Series B · Jan 2024
Electra builds and operates ultra-fast EV charging stations, offering a full-stack solution that includes in-house charger operating software, a consumer app, and a fleet management platform. The company currently runs more than 500 stations comprising over 3,000 active charging points and serves 500+ commercial fleets. Electra plans to scale its footprint to 2,200 stations and 15,000 high-power charging points by 2030, focusing on dense urban areas, transit hubs, business districts, and major traffic corridors. Each site is being developed into an intelligent energy hub that can integrate battery storage and solar generation to optimise grid load and energy costs. The company participates in the Spark Alliance, giving its users access to over 11,000 compatible chargers across Europe. Since inception Electra has raised more than €1 billion, including over €600 million in equity and the newly secured green loan facility, to fund the roughly €1.1 billion of infrastructure investment required for its roadmap. Management prioritises deep market leadership in its existing nine countries over rapid geographic overextension, while remaining open to opportunistic M&A that meets strategic and cultural fit criteria.
