Sacha Richelme

Business student and entrepreneur focused on venture capital and investment analysis

FranceActively looking

I am a final-year Finance student at EDHEC Business School, specializing in Corporate & Investment Banking with a Venture Capital track. My studies have given me a strong foundation in financial analysis, valuation, M&A, private equity and sustainable finance. Alongside my studies, I founded Starshop, a second-hand luxury business through which I sold over 3,000 products, managing sourcing, pricing, cash flow and commercial relationships. I also worked directly with the CEO of an LVMH-backed startup on business development and strategic projects. As a former high-level American football athlete, I also learned to perform in demanding environments, work as part of a team and remain disciplined when things do not go as planned. More recently, I have started building an AI-powered VC assistant for startup sourcing, company research and investment memo generation. I am looking to combine my financial background, entrepreneurial experience and interest in technology and sustainability to contribute to AENU’s investment team.
