About Edenred Capital Partners

Edenred Capital Partners, also branded Edenred Ventures, is the corporate venture capital arm of Edenred, the global payment-solutions group. The firm is UK-domiciled, registered as Edenred Capital Partners Ltd and headquartered in London, and was founded in 2012. It operates as a corporate venture capital vehicle structured with independent venture-capital governance, and reports approximately €175 million in assets under management across its fund range as of December 2024. The vehicle was established after Edenred acquired Prepay Technologies, the company founded by the firm's founder. It functions as a strategic investor that pairs capital with access to the Edenred global commercial ecosystem rather than as an independent institutional manager, with the corporate sponsor serving as the principal source of capital.

Investment thesis

Edenred Capital Partners is a B2B venture investor backing early- to growth-stage software companies in four verticals aligned with Edenred's businesses: fintech and corporate payments covering embedded finance and card-based solutions, the future of work covering corporate benefits and employee engagement, professional mobility and fleet services, and retail technology. The firm invests from Series A through Series C, typically writing tickets of around €0.5 to €10 million and co-investing alongside other venture funds rather than leading. The limited partner base is effectively Edenred itself as the corporate sponsor. The core value-creation lever is strategic: portfolio companies gain business-development opportunities, commercial partnerships and distribution through the Edenred worldwide network, plus strategic input from the corporate alongside founders.
