NEW FUND : OPERATORS CLUB (OPRTRS CLUB) is a community driven investment platform gathering the TOP100 Operators of LaFrenchTech. These C-level, Head of, VP, lead of, managers… invest in a fund and bring their expertise (tech, data, product, growth, sales…) to fellow operators turning cofounders. Beside portfolio support, they also contribute to sourcing, screening… and get compensated by Carried Interest that is shared between GPs and contributing LP Operators. We aim at investing 8m€ in pre-seed over the next 3 years. We’re operators backing operators and we will take advantage of this new cycle as we’re convinced that many of the winners in 2030/35 will be companies founded by ex-operators between 2024  and 2026.
