Comment collaborer pour créer et développer une entreprise ? Par la mise en commun de deux démarches. 1) Votre démarche d’entrepreneur : - l’idée, le marché, les associés, la projection, l’équipe, la mise en œuvre, la dynamique… - trouver des fonds pour financer vos investissements, rémunérations, BFR, pour créer puis développer votre projet, - trouver une aide objective et efficace pour challenger vos réflexions et décisions, pour vous aider à développer l’entreprise. 2) Notre démarche d’investisseur : - investir nos fonds personnels dans une optique de risque / rendement élevé, - investir notre temps, notre réflexion, notre savoir-faire et les capacités de notre réseau relationnel pour vous aider à créer efficacement de la valeur. La mise en commun de ces deux approches est le fondement du capital-risque, celui qui s’applique au développement de la petite ou moyenne entreprise. Qui sommes-nous ? 23 business angels, pour la plupart chefs d’entreprise, pour certains créateurs d’entreprises, travaillant sur des marchés différents. Désireux de s’impliquer dans l’aide au développement des startups qui deviendront des PME. Tournés vers une optique de valorisation (dans tous les sens du terme). Capables d’apporter une expérience et un tissu relationnel. Nous recherchons des entreprises « early stage », si possible réalisant déjà un peu de chiffre d’affaires. Nos objectifs et nos contraintes : Notre politique d’investissement : - des investissements uniquement minoritaires - des investissements dans tous les secteurs à partir du moment où un potentiel de valorisation est décelé - et avec une condition essentielle : qu’au moins un des actionnaires de 3A Venture comprenne le marché de l’entreprise et sa capacité à se valoriser par les solutions apportées à ce marché. Et 3A Venture doit apporter une valeur ajoutée à ses participations. Contact : Alain Delesques 3A Venture
