News Summary

Founders Future, a Paris-based venture capital firm, is expanding its operations to the United States as part of its strategic growth plan. With €300 million in assets under management, Founders Future has made significant investments in 110 companies through early-stage and growth funds. The firm aims to reach €1 billion in assets by 2030, which includes raising new funds quickly. Founders Future has sold a 25% stake in its holding company to prominent investors such as MACSF, the Dassault family, and CMA CGM Group to support this expansion. The firm plans to open offices on both the East and West Coasts of the U.S. to provide a bridge for European startups to enter the American market, where they can achieve higher valuations and access more exit opportunities. Additionally, Founders Future intends to raise a U.S.-focused growth fund to help European limited partners invest in American tech companies. This strategic move aims to create a transatlantic partnership, enabling American companies to expand into Europe with the support of a European VC firm.
