The Paris-Saclay Seed Fund was launched in November 2016 by the University of Paris-Saclay and its members and operations were entrusted to two Venture Capital funds : Partech International Partners and Kurma.

It supports the new generation of tech entrepreneurs from the University of Paris-Saclay Campus!

Experts from the Paris-Saclay Seed Fund work for certain hours every week at various institutions at the Paris-Saclay Campus. They support entrepreneurs, providing support, mentorship, capital and assist with hiring and scaling companies. The Fund invests in early stage companies, giving them between €100K and €500K and in seed stage companies giving €2m+ in Series A.
