Meteoria | €700K | 📢 Marketing

Paris-based Meteoria raised €700,000 in a pre-seed round backed by Tomcat Ventures and business angels. The company tracks brand visibility across AI search channels like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google’s AI Overview to act as an SEO (GEO) dashboard for the generative AI era. Meteoria has seen 200% growth in Q1 of this year as brands race to monitor and master the possibilities of AI search.

Cleavr | €1M | 💳 Fintech

Paris-based Cleavr raised €1 million in a pre-seed round backed by Kima Ventures, another.vc, Aonia, Better Angle, and angels including the CFO of Pennylane and CEO of MyUnisoft. The startup deploys an AI agent they claim can handle the entire cash collection cycle including follow-up calls, dispute resolution, and payment matching while connecting directly to a company's ERP. France's chronic late-payment problem (94% of businesses lose money monthly to unpaid invoices, according to OpinionWay) gives Cleavr a structural tailwind and a broad market of potential customers.

Yaarz | €1M | 🎵 Music

Paris-based Yaarz raised €1 million in a seed round led by Sony Music Entertainment France alongside the Centre National de Musique, Bpifrance, French Flair Ventures, and Haut-Parleur Production. The company builds event commerce software for the live music industry including mobile merch sales, fan engagement tools, and direct-to-fan transactions at concerts and pop-ups.

Blify | €1.8M | 👥 HR Tech

Paris-based Blify raised €1.8 million ($2.1 million) in a pre-seed round led by AFI Ventures (Ventech's impact fund), with Kima Ventures, Better Angle, and Fair Equity also participating. The company embeds AI-native learning directly into Slack and Teams, training employees through short, contextual interactions rather than separate LMS platforms that nobody actually logs into.

Topograph | €2M | 💳 Fintech

Paris-based Topograph raised €2 million in a seed round led by Seedcamp with Kima Ventures, Motier Ventures, Better Angle, and Drysdale Ventures joining. The startup provides real-time access to official business registries across 40+ countries and pulls structured data from sources that KYB and compliance teams otherwise have to check manually. Topograph allows companies to answer the critical "is my customer’s business actually real and where are they registered" questions that are both unglamorous and deeply necessary for any fintech doing cross-border compliance.

Flotte | €3M | 🏪 Retail Tech

La Courneuve-based Flotte raised €3 million in a round backed by Belgian fund Akiles and Time4—Daphni’s newly debuted impact fund. The brand makes eco-friendly, colorful, unisex rainwear and has been profitable since year one, splitting revenue evenly between wholesale and direct-to-consumer channels. The capital will go toward new boutique openings and international expansion.

Homaio | €3.6M | 🌡️ Climate Tech

Paris-based Homaio raised €3.6 million in a seed round led by RAISE Ventures, with XAnge, Redstone VC, and Groupe Eren also participating. The company lets retail investors buy into EU carbon allowances which factories and airlines must hold to emit CO₂. While this part of the carbon market has historically been restricted to institutional players or used as a compliance tool, Homaio is betting that carbon pricing is becoming an asset class retail investors will want exposure to.

Lupin & Holmes | €5.1M | 🛡️ Cybersecurity

Lupin & Holmes raised €5.1 million ($5.9 million) in a pre-seed round co-led by 20VC and Seedcamp with Kima Ventures, Purple Fund, and the founders of Wiz, Hugging Face, and GitGuardian backing the brothers Roni and Oren Carta. Their product, Depi, secures the software supply chain by detecting vulnerabilities in the open-source components and third-party libraries that quietly underpin most production code.

Escape | €15M | 🛡️ Cybersecurity

Paris-based Escape raised €15 million in a Series A round led by Balderton Capital with Uncorrelated Ventures, IRIS, and Y Combinator also participating. The company builds an offensive security platform where AI agents simulate cyberattacks to find vulnerabilities in APIs and applications before real attackers do. In this way, they are essentially able to replace slow, manual penetration tests with continuous automated red-teaming. The timing is promising with AI-generated code shipping faster and attack surfaces expanding faster than security teams can keep up with.

Parallel | €17.4M | 🗣️ AI Agents

Paris-based Parallel raised €17.4 million ($20 million) in a Series A round led by Index Ventures with Frst, Y Combinator, Hexa, and angels including Mistral founder Arthur Mensch participating. Parallel has created AI agents that operate on top of hospital IT systems rather than going through the typical 12-24 integration process required to operate in this space. The agents accomplish this by operating the same way a human would: reading screens, clicking through interfaces, and entering data autonomously to handle billing, coding, and admin workflows. The company is already running across dozens of French public and private hospitals and claims to cut admin time by ~30%.

Cryptio | €39M | ₿ Cryptocurrency & Blockchain

Paris-based Cryptio raised €39 million ($45 million) in a Series B round led by Blackfin Capital Partners and Sentinel Global with Alven, 1kx, BlueYard Capital, and Ledger Cathay Capital also participating. The company is building ERP-style accounting infrastructure for enterprise crypto use cases. Their tooling tracks digital assets across wallets, chains, and counterparties, and turns blockchain data into the structured audit trails that banks, exchanges, and asset managers need to satisfy regulators. With institutions now moving into tokenized assets Cryptio's boring-but-essential compliance layer is exactly what they need to get their CFOs to sign off.
