Founders Future Expands Share Capital to Boost Growth with MACSF, Dassault, and CMA CGM

Founders Future, an investment firm targeting leading European tech start-ups in early and growth stages, announced the strategic sale of 25% of its share capital to MACSF, the Dassault family (Financière Dassault), and the CMA CGM Group. The move is part of a broader strategy to reach €1 billion in assets under management by 2030 and to establish a presence in the United States by late 2025. Founded in 2018 by Marc Menasé, Founders Future has supported over 110 companies, resulting in a combined valuation of €5.5 billion, generating €950 million in sales, and creating 6,000 jobs. With €300 million in assets managed and a focus on AI, fintech, climate tech, and SaaS, the firm is among the top 10 most active venture capital firms in France and Europe. The partnerships with MACSF, Dassault, and CMA CGM enable further investment and expansion strategies, aiming to continue democratizing private capital among institutional and retail investors. The expansion into the U.S. includes the opening of an office and the launch of a growth fund to access and integrate into the American tech industry, facilitating transatlantic market integration for European portfolio companies.
