ISAI

ISAI gathers more than 300 Tech entrepreneurs who have decided to invest capital and experience to enable the advent of new French Tech champions. Pierre Kosciusko-Morizet (PriceMinister), Geoffroy Roux de Bezieux (Notus Technologies), Ouriel Ohayon (ZenGo), Stéphane Treppoz (Sarenza) and Christophe Raynaud are at the initiative of this project which aims to establish the most useful, performing and benevolent fund an entrepreneur can wish for. Joined by Jean-David Chamboredon, they federated 300 entrepreneurs that were later joined by family offices and institutional investors. ISAI thus has a sufficient investing and refinancing capacity to support the companies it backs over the long run. Some of the entrepreneurs that the first ISAI fund supported then became investors in subsequent funds. In total, more than €20B of revenue and 70,000 jobs have been created by the companies of our investors-entrepreneurs. The ISAI team and the managers of its portfolio companies can rely on this unparalleled collective experience. With over €500M under management, we wish to select original companies managed by outstanding teams. Remarkable, outstanding, that is the meaning of the Japanese word “ISAI”.

Blu Venture Investors

Blu Venture Investors is a venture capital investment company that supports early stage entrepreneurs in the Mid-Atlantic Region – Maryland, Virginia, Washington, DC and North Carolina. We typically invest $500K to $1.0M in a single round. When larger financing rounds are needed, we actively look to syndicate deals with other investment groups in our network. Our goal is an accelerated, successful exit, for both company founders and investors alike. Our investors are experienced, successful operating executives with experience in a broad range of industries and business models. Each of our investors has successfully launched new companies, products or services. The Blu Ventures Affiliate Program is a “by invitation only” group of accredited investors. These investors are provided Blu due diligence materials and quarterly/annual reporting of our portfolio companies. They invest alongside the Blu principals and benefit from our close engagement with our portfolio companies. Affiliates have the opportunity to invest via an opt-in model which mirrors those deals in which Blu members have already agreed to invest. This unique arrangement affords the affiliate members exposure to deal flow they would not see, substantive due diligence, and institutional-quality documentation and governance - all without the time commitment. Twice per year, we invite the affiliates for a Blu meeting and reception to network with principals and one another.
