We want to invest in solutions to problems which impact a lot of people. If you are simply iterating a market, 7percent is not for you. We seek the 200x winners and pass on the less risky, less ambitious opportunities. We are looking for moonshots. We back the technologies and products that in ten years people will wonder how the world ever lived without - the breakthrough companies and technologies. What's in a name? “A good early stage growth rate is 5-7% a week. If you can hit 10% a week you’re doing exceptionally well, but if you can only manage 1%, it’s a sign you haven’t yet figured out what you’re doing“ Paul Graham - Y Combinator Why take our moneyMaybe don't.

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”.

The fund partners have been friends for 10+ years and back in the day started what over years has grown to one of the largest tech founder communities in Eastern Europe. Today our wider community comprises over 350 active founders from around the world, including founders of the fast-growing & established tech unicorns (like Hopin, Miro, UiPath, Intercom, and others), as well as founders of several renowned global VC funds. In 2010, when we were making our first steps as entrepreneurs and future executives, we yearned for ways of sharing knowledge and supporting each other. Three of us settled in a big apartment on Shmitovsky 16 (S16) and opened our doors for regular meetings with like-minded entrepreneurs. That move turned out to be instrumental. We learned through each other, motivated and supported each other, and built lifelong friendships. Our small gatherings grew into a tribe of hundreds of like-minded people. We are certain that this community is the common denominator behind our success. Even though the majority of tribe members are very successful entrepreneurs and executives, the community is united by shared values rather than any kind of material KPIs. These values are: Community, not individual Trust Transparency Intrinsic motivation to help Pay forward Beginner mindset People succeed, not ideas The community has long outgrown its founders and small gatherings at Shmit 16 and evolved into many initiatives driven by different people. Twice a year we help organize the legendary closed business event - Founders for Founders. Our members organize a camp at Burning Man. We try our best to spread our knowledge to a wider audience through our Telegram channel. Whatever we do, s16vc stands for preservation and adherence to our values. And s16vc, being the only commercial endeavor, is no exception. We invest in people who share these values and take money from like-minded LPs, making our tribe stronger with every founder we back and every investor we bring inside the community.
