September 2017 🇫🇷 funding rounds: a VC perspective

The impression it gives from a distance

Gotcha! You probably though that I would give up my commitment to cover French fundraising events with a VC point of view after June, July, and August.

September has been pretty packed, true that, but it has been such an outlier and a record month that is it impossible not to cover it. Plus, consistency is key. Having said that, you probably also noticed that I switched to English. The reason for that is, as you’ll see in the analysis below, the foreign VC interest for the French Tech scene is sharply increasing. After all, I joined EQT Ventures for this exact reason.

So, what’s that exceptional about September’s fundraising events? Comment s’est passée la rentrée ?
