About CapHorn
CapHorn, formerly CapHorn Invest, is an independent French venture capital firm specialising in B2B and digital companies. Founded in 2011, it is headquartered in Paris, France, and is an AMF-regulated manager. The firm manages roughly €180 to €200 million across two main fund vehicles. Since the early 2020s CapHorn has operated under the financial structure of Anaxago, the French investment platform, and runs a distinctive club-deal model. A defining feature is its limited partner base of around 250 corporate executives and entrepreneurs, who also act as a sourcing and business-development network for portfolio companies. The flagship fund, CapHorn 2, a vintage-2017 FPCI, closed at €130 million.
Investment thesis
CapHorn pursues a venture capital strategy focused on European B2B and digital companies, investing principally at Series A and Series B with some seed activity. The firm targets enterprise software and digital companies driving market transformation, including enterprise technology, climate technology and health technology. Geography is Europe, anchored in France. Tickets typically range from about €1 million to €10 to €15 million. The limited partner base is unusual: roughly 250 corporate executives and business leaders, which gives portfolio companies privileged access to enterprise customers and decision-makers. The core value-creation lever is a trust, funding and network model, leveraging the executive limited partner community for commercial introductions and go-to-market acceleration with large corporates.
