blisce/

blisce/ is a transatlantic venture capital firm founded in 2013 by Alexandre Mars, co-headquartered in Paris and New York. It is notable for being the first VC fund to earn B Corp certification. The firm's main fund (Fund II, closed at approximately $240M) focuses on growth-stage investments in mission-driven consumer technology and digital companies across the US and Europe, typically writing checks of $5M–$30M into Series A through C rounds. In 2024, blisce/ launched a dedicated climate tech fund targeting €150M (~$160M), led by Pierre-Edouard Berion, with a mandate to back tech startups addressing climate change in sectors such as materials, food, construction, mobility, and energy. Portfolio companies include Spotify, Pinterest, Headspace, Too Good To Go, and Brut. Beyond capital, the firm supports portfolio companies in developing ESG practices, and its team donates 20% of carried interest to non-profit organizations.
