Auriga Cyber Ventures is Europe's first dedicated early-stage cybersecurity fund, backing founders in cybersecurity and digital trust — and nothing else. Founded in 2021 by Auriga Partners alongside four emblematic European cyber entrepreneurs (Jean-Noël de Galzain of Wallix, Edouard de Rémur of Oodrive, Georges Lotigier of Vade, and Thierry Rouquet of Sentryo), the fund invests at seed and pre-Series A in startups with strong technological differentiation that are entering or accelerating their go-to-market phase. ACV targets ~25 European investments, with two-thirds in France, writing tickets of €500k–€2m on rounds of €1–5m, with follow-on capacity at Series A. ACV's unfair advantage is its community of over 100 cybersecurity entrepreneurs, operators, vendors, and accelerators who provide portfolio companies with deal-flow intelligence, credibility, and market reach from day one. As Geoffroy Rosset explains: "We fund the revolutions shaping today and anticipating tomorrow, to build a safer, more trusted and resilient digital world for future generations." The fund is backed by institutional LPs including Bpifrance (FNA 2 / France 2030), Tikehau Capital, and BNP Paribas.
Notable quotes
“Nous augmentons progressivement notre ticket d'entrée vers 1 million d'euros, sur des tours d'amorçage qui se situent généralement entre 1 et 5 millions.”
“La cybersécurité n'est pas un marché hors sol, elle est associée au sous-jacent de la numérisation. Or tous les secteurs se numérisent. Depuis la crise sanitaire, les attaques ont été multipliées et leur visibilité aussi.”
“Ces investisseurs siègent dans notre comité stratégique aux côtés de l'ANSSI. Parmi nos soutiens, nous pouvons également compter sur le Pôle d'Excellence Cyber. Pour eux, nous sommes un peu comme une cellule de veille externalisée au cœur de l'écosystème.”
