Xange

XAnge is a Paris-based early-stage venture capital firm with over 20 years of experience investing in European tech startups. Operating its fifth flagship fund (XAnge 5, launched 2025, €200M+), the firm manages over €800M across all vehicles and backs companies from Seed through Series B. First checks from the flagship fund range from €1M to €10M, with XAnge typically leading or co-leading rounds and taking a 10-year investment horizon. The firm's current thesis centers on three pillars: AI Productivity (application and middleware layers), Frontier Tech (compute, new space, robotics, cybersecurity, computational biology), and Sustainable Future (climate and energy technologies). Geographic focus is continental Europe, with a core emphasis on France, DACH, and Benelux, including founders expanding to the US, UK, or Canada. Notable portfolio exits include Odoo, Ledger, Believe, and Lydia. XAnge also manages two corporate vehicles: Mutuelles Impact (€95M, health/care-focused, €1M–€5M checks) and La Poste Ventures (€75M, France-focused, €500K–€3M checks).
