Aglaé Ventures

Aglaé Ventures is a global technology-focused venture capital firm founded in 2017, backed by Agache (formerly Groupe Arnault), the principal investment vehicle of Bernard Arnault, controlling shareholder of LVMH. Headquartered in Paris with offices in New York and San Francisco, the firm invests from €100K to €100M in asset-light, fast-growing tech companies across all stages — from seed through pre-IPO. It acts as lead or follower in Seed and Series A rounds in France and the US ($100K–$10M), and participates in Series B through pre-IPO globally ($10M–$100M). The firm is sector-agnostic but concentrates on marketplaces, SaaS, open-source software, content platforms, consumer apps, and digitally native vertical brands (DNVBs). Portfolio highlights include Airbnb, Slack, Spotify, Netflix, Lyft, Back Market, and Algolia. Aglaé Ventures offers portfolio companies access to the LVMH ecosystem (70 brands, 150K employees, 4,000 stores) alongside expertise in growth management, brand building, digital marketing, and global expansion.
