  • Agriodor

    Participated · Series A · Apr 2026

    Agriodor develops a class of crop protection solutions that use semiochemicals to influence insect behavior by replicating natural plant scents. Its R&D platform combines high-throughput chemical ecology and reverse chemical ecology to design blends that attract, repel, or disrupt pest insects while preserving beneficial species. The company launched its first commercial product targeting sugar beet aphids and has an exclusive distribution agreement with Syngenta, with an initial field deployment in France. Agriodor is expanding its product portfolio to address additional insect families including fruit flies, whiteflies, and thrips. Founded in 2019 as a spin-off from INRAE by Alain Thibault and Dr Ené Leppik, the company plans to use the Series A funding to accelerate international expansion and wider deployment of its olfactory biocontrol technology.

  • Biotech One

    Led · Equity · Apr 2026

    Biotech One, founded in 2022 and based in Marseille, develops supercritical CO₂–based processes including extraction, micronization, encapsulation and sterilization, centered on its EncapX continuous millifluidic encapsulation system. EncapX is presented as a patented system (patent filed in 2025) for producing nanoliposomes with an asserted 80% reduction in solvent consumption versus conventional methods. The company combines equipment sales, licensing and bespoke R&D services and reported initial commercial contracts in 2023, a 2024 exclusive license for continuous algae extraction, and a first automated EncapX order in 2025. Biotech One projects €0.8M in revenue for 2025 and aims to deploy a semi-industrial production line to generate recurring license and equipment revenues. It has also secured public support such as a €25k BPI French Tech Grant and participation in the HORIZON EUROPE ALLIANCE project (with €445k allocated to the company), and is listed as a France 2030 laureate. The company plans to use recent funding to scale R&D, strengthen IP, accelerate EncapX commercialization and build its scientific and commercial teams toward industrialization.

  • Eyco

    Participated · Equity · May 2024

    EYCO develops and manufactures ultra-thin "smarts-circuits" and microcircuits using proprietary materials expertise and innovative production processes to embed and interconnect multiple electronic components. The company targets advanced applications across security, telecommunications, payments and healthcare through a confidential co-development approach with clients. After months of technical development, EYCO plans to inaugurate a factory 5.0 in Trets (Bouches-du-Rhône) in autumn 2024; the site is designed with sustainability in mind and claims to produce no industrial water discharge. The business emphasizes industrialization and the transmission of technical know-how to new generations of microelectronics professionals. EYCO was financed at creation by the French state under the France Relance plan and continues to receive public and regional support. The recent capital increase will accelerate industrial deployment and extend EYCO's activity into new product development.

  • NAWA Technologies

    Participated · Series B · Feb 2020

    NAWA Technologies commercializes a patented VACNT platform to deliver high-power, high-energy ultracapacitors (NAWACap), very fast electrodes for lithium batteries, and reinforced carbon-fibre composites. Headquartered in Aix-en-Provence, France, the company positions VACNT as a foundational material across multiple energy-storage applications. NAWA plans to build its first NAWACap factory to manufacture ultracapacitors from 2023 onwards and to ramp series production. The company is also accelerating development work on lithium-ion battery cell technology. Target end markets called out include power tools, sensor-based IoT, and automotive segments (hybrid, BEVs and FCEVs). NAWA's recent financing is intended to keep the company in a leading technological position and support scale-up to industrial production. NAWATechnologies, founded in 2013 and based in Aix‑en‑Provence, develops Ultra‑Fast Carbon ultracapacitor cells and applied nanotechnology that the company says can store 100× more electricity, cost 150× less than classical batteries and reduce battery‑waste environmental impact fivefold. Its ultracapacitors are positioned for high‑power, fast‑charging applications such as power tools and automated guided vehicles in factories, and for sensor‑based IoT devices. The company also targets automotive uses including hybrid cars, BEVs and fuel‑cell vehicles for rapid energy capture from regenerative braking, and future urban mobility like electric buses, trams and autonomous vehicles. NAWA showcased a hybrid ultracapacitor/lithium NAWA Racer concept e‑bike at CES 2020. Using the recent funding, NAWA plans to install next‑generation production line equipment at its Provence facility in 2020. That production line is intended to scale to over 100,000 ultracapacitor cells per month at full capacity.
