Community

A new business philosophy requires a new financial culture

To initiate the systemic transformations that the economy and society need, we need a community of mind, heart and, above all, action. In the age of the impact revolution, venture capital can no longer be a solitary adventure.

Asterion federates a community of high-level operator angels from diverse backgrounds. Whether they are successful founders, heads of major groups or have unique expertise, the members of our community all share the same ambition: to lend a helping hand to those whose actions represent a potential tipping point for entire sectors of our economy, and this regardless of their investment capacity.

It's a matter of affinities, shared vision and key skills, mobilized in the right place at the right time: the Asterion team strives to maintain this perfect balance on a systematic basis. For each start-up, everything is consolidated in a special purpose vehicle (SPV), which simplifies governance and facilitates subsequent fund-raising.

Asterion's approach to support: increasing empowerment through care, growth and networking

There is no substitute for a relationship of trust between a founder and an angel.

To allow our investments to reach their full potential, we designed a multi-stage strategic support system:

Each start-up benefits from the support of several operator angels with previous experience in the investment's field.

For each company, we identify an advisor - who has not necessarily invested - to act as a mentor on strategic and operational issues.

We run multi-level peer-to-peer communities to encourage our participants to help and advise each other.

We've built a platform that lists service providers, resources and content to help founders save time and make the right choices.

Another original feature is that we encourage - and even encourage financially - our start-up founders to take part in regular coaching sessions.

Asterion brings together a very broad spectrum of the French entrepreneurial ecosystem. It would be impossible to present all our angels.
