KREAXI

KREAXI is an independent French investment management firm providing equity financing to seed-stage and early-stage companies. Founded in 2016 through the merger of Rhône-Alpes Création and Banexi Ventures Partners, the firm draws on venture capital experience dating back to 1983. It operates from two offices, in Lyon and Paris.

The firm invests in innovative deeptech, lowtech and industrial technology startups with high growth potential, targeting sustainable industrial value creation. Ticket sizes run from €100,000 to €2.5 million per company, deployed across seed, acceleration and development phases. Capital is drawn from three fund lines: regional funds focused on the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region, national French funds, and pan-European funds, giving the firm a geographic footprint spanning France and Europe.

KREAXI positions itself as a patient-capital investor taking minority positions - described as involved but non-intrusive - and pairs financing with active, long-term support. Portfolio companies receive hands-on assistance in strategy, innovation management, finance and human resources, alongside access to a network of entrepreneurs and partners.
