Live my life as a VC

Immerse yourself in the ecosystem of compatible innovation
with planetary limits

Building the companies that drive the most disruptive sustainable innovations requires a vision of capital that is both patient and efficient. This has been Asterion's conviction from the outset, supporting our investments from day one, with no deadline. While this vision of social responsibility and long-term vision is becoming more and more a matter of course for investors, it has long been part of the DNA of another category of players: entrepreneurial families.

In a context of global crisis, where planetary limits are already causing systemic transformations, these family businesses, the historic engines of the French economy, have a unique opportunity to diversify their activities by combining economic growth with positive impact.

Impact investing offers them a way to perpetuate their vision and strengthen their legacy. It offers them the opportunity to reinvent themselves by continuing to transmit solid, responsible entrepreneurial values.

To meet their growing need for training, we have designed a dedicated program: Immersion (by Asterion). This program, designed and built by a community of experts and selected entrepreneurs, enables these families to build lasting trust and work together to meet the major challenges of the 21st century.

Why not start building
a community of ambassadors
at
in my family?

Momentum to seize investment opportunities, diversify family wealth, participate in the reindustrialization and independence of Europe.

Anticipate
tomorrow's world and diversify the family's assets

Climate and societal transitions are not only imperatives, they also represent major economic opportunities, requiring a strategic reorientation of capital.

Develop
investment expertise for family administrators

This expertise enables us to maintain an informed and critical eye on the M&A operations of operational managers and strategic decisions concerning historical activities.

Reconnecting
with the entrepreneurial spirit of our origins

By supporting first-generation entrepreneurs in the sectors of the future, the family's founding values are reaffirmed, while contributing to solutions to the challenges of the 21st century.

that it takes a seed investor
several years to accumulate on his own.
