Barthélémy Gras

Venture Capital Analyst

Paris, FranceOpen to offers

I am a venture capital analyst with experience across corporate venture capital, public investment, and technology consulting. At Alliance Ventures, I support sourcing, due diligence, exit strategy analysis, and ecosystem development across mobility technology, AI, manufacturing, physical AI, and robotics. At Bpifrance, I have evaluated startup studios in IndustrialTech, MedTech, Defense, and Energy, preparing investment memos and tracking the performance of portfolios containing more than 110 ventures. I also bring entrepreneurial and operational experience from Takima, where I structured a digital transformation offering, developed go-to-market materials, and automated lead qualification workflows with n8n and AI APIs, reducing screening time by 70%. As a board member and marketing manager for Altigliss, I co-managed an €850K budget, secured financing through 127 sponsors, and led a 12-person team.

I sourced and conducted due diligence on mobility technology, AI engineering and manufacturing, physical AI, and robotics opportunities with $1–2M investment tickets alongside business-unit engineers, supporting POCs and investments. I analyzed exit strategies for listed and unlisted positions, including a ~$120M listed stake using DCF scenarios, trading comparables, and a three-year phased sell-down under board-seat, blackout, and disclosure constraints. I also represented the fund at European technology events and meetings with VCs and CVCs.
