Asterion Ventures is an early-stage investment firm focused on systemic impact across Europe, with offices in Paris and Amsterdam and active venture partners in Brussels and Zurich. Impact-focused by design, Asterion backs founders tackling structural challenges across energy, industry, climate risk, health, and physical AI. In four years, Asterion has mobilized nearly €65M into 30 early-stage companies. Its current early-stage fund totals €50M, and Asterion is preparing a new €100M fund. Four portfolio companies are now scaling into Series A/B with top European funds, including Weefin, Spark Cleantech, Everdye, and one soon to be announced; one has already exited. Asterion’s edge lies in scale powered by people: a community of 900+ entrepreneurs and executives invest as business angels, representing roughly 50% of each round. They bring not only capital, but also operational experience, time, and hard-to-access networks. Beyond financing, Asterion has built dedicated programs for exited founders (Life After Exit), women investors (Invest Like a Woman), and entrepreneurial families (Immersion). Its LP base includes founders of French unicorns and European top impact companies such as Back Market, BlaBlaCar, and Too Good To Go, a few corporates and long-term family offices like Entheos, including prominent families from Northern France.
