Over the past decade, France has emerged as one of Europe's most active startup investment hubs. With over €7 billion invested in French startups in 2024 alone, the country now consistently ranks among the top three ecosystems in Europe, alongside the UK and Germany.
This momentum has been driven in part by a new generation of business angels — successful founders turned funders, corporate executives, and sector specialists — backing early-stage startups across AI, climate tech, fintech, deep tech, and B2B SaaS. While Paris remains the epicentre, regional hubs such as Lyon, Marseille, and Lille are also experiencing a surge in angel activity.
French angel investors tend to be hands-on, offering not just capital but also strategic advice, mentorship, and warm introductions. Seed and pre-seed rounds in France typically range from €200K to €1M, often involving co-investment with micro-VCs or public institutions like Bpifrance.
