Investor Details Founded: 2019
Frst is a Paris-based venture capital firm that specializes in early-stage investments, focusing on technology companies with global ambitions. The firm was founded in 2019 by Pierre Entremont and Bruno Raillard, who previously operated Otium Venture. Frst aims to be the first investor in a startup, providing significant capital at the inception stage, often before the company is formally established. This approach allows them to support visionary entrepreneurs from the very beginning, fostering long-term partnerships that can span a decade or more.
The firm's investment strategy is centered on sectors such as technology, financial services, biotech, life sciences, transportation, consumer goods, retail, healthcare, and business services. Frst typically invests between €500,000 and €3 million in seed, early-stage, Series A, Series B, and growth-stage companies. Their geographical focus includes France, the United States, and various European countries, reflecting a commitment to supporting entrepreneurs with global ambitions.
Since its inception, Frst has managed over €200 million in assets, deploying capital into more than 70 companies. Their portfolio includes notable investments in Pigment, Poolside, Payfit, Owkin, and Doctrine. The firm is currently investing through its third fund, Frst 3, which raised €100 million in 2023. This fund continues Frst's mission to identify and support exceptional founders, providing both capital and strategic guidance to help them translate their audacious ideas into successful, market-leading companies.
