Investor Details Founded: 2009
Established in 2009, ISAI is a leading French venture capital firm dedicated to fostering the growth of early-stage technology companies. Co-founded by prominent tech entrepreneurs, the firm has built a robust network of over 450 entrepreneurs and major institutional investors. With offices in Paris and New York City, ISAI manages approximately €1.0 billion across four investment strategies: Early-Stage Venture, Corporate Venture, Growth Lending, and Tech Buyout. The firm's portfolio includes notable companies such as BlaBlaCar, Malt, Copado, Alation, DataDome, and Evaneos, reflecting its commitment to supporting innovative startups across various sectors.
ISAI's investment approach is characterized by a focus on high-potential B2B startups and scale-ups worldwide. In partnership with Capgemini, ISAI launched the €80 million ISAI Cap Venture II fund in April 2025, aiming to support companies that have reached a maturity level allowing for joint commercial approaches with Capgemini. This fund primarily targets sectors such as SaaS, PaaS, IaaS, with a focus on Data, Sustainability, and 5G technologies. The firm's strategy emphasizes co-investing in Series A to growth-stage deals, with ticket sizes ranging from €1 million to €5 million.
ISAI's commitment to innovation and growth is further demonstrated by the successful closure of its third expansion vintage fund, ISAI Expansion III, at €300 million in February 2025. This fund is dedicated to supporting profitable tech SMEs, with investments between €10 million and €50 million, and has already made its first investment in Staffmatch, a player in the temporary employment sector in France. Through these initiatives, ISAI continues to play a pivotal role in the French Tech ecosystem, bridging the gap between startups and major industrial players, and contributing to the advancement of the digital economy.
