Newfund

Newfund is an early-stage venture capital firm that writes pre-seed and seed cheques to French startups with global ambitions and to North American startups. It typically provides a company's first institutional check, with investments ranging from $250,000 to $2 million. The firm operates from Paris and Silicon Valley, and directs part of its attention to companies with a stated impact on people and the planet.

Beyond capital, the firm runs an in-house operating team that works alongside founders on company-building and product-market fit, and maintains a technology platform offered to portfolio companies. A cross-border network links its French and US presence, supporting transatlantic startups and providing programs and connections for portfolio expansion into the United States.

The firm describes itself as entrepreneurial and oriented toward speed, candid feedback and founder-specific support. Its stated approach is to understand founders as individuals and to align incentives between entrepreneurs and investors, with a growth mindset underpinning the working relationship.
