Vincent Levita, Founder and CEO of Infravia stated “We are extremely proud of this success. I want to thank the exceptional team that joined us for their engagement as well as our investors for their trust. With this fund InfraVia is now well positioned in two of the most attractive strategies in the market – Infrastructure and Tech.”

The fund size gives InfraVia Growth the ability to position itself as a lead investor in rounds of €20m to €100m with an investment capacity of between €15m and €50m per transaction.

Adrien Ménard, Co-Founder and CEO of Botify commented: “We have known InfraVia for several years. The team demonstrated real conviction regarding our market and we share the same ambition to create global champions. Their experience in accompanying scale-ups internationally and their expertise in terms of SaaS platforms will be very useful for us in the next stage of our development.”

Thomas Cottereau, Founder & CEO at Sightcall added : “We decided to partner with Infravia for their ability to provide strategic long-term support to a global company like us. As we continue to grow fast, their experience in helping companies structure organizations will be meaningful.”

The objective of the team is to develop around 15 European tech champions by providing strategic and operational support covering the key themes necessary for rapid and durable growth at the scale-up stage such as internationalization, improvements in structure across functions, M&A and the implementation of ESG policies.

Guillaume Santamaria, Partner at InfraVia concludes: “2021 has been a decisive year for the launch of this new strategy at InfraVia. We now have the perfect instrument to capture opportunities in European late- stage Tech and to support talented entrepreneurs in their market conquest over time. First results are extremely satisfying as our first portfolio company has just become a Unicorn.”
