Investment Thesis

Evolem is a family office founded by entrepreneur Bruno Rousset that combines entrepreneurial vision with long-term strategic partnership. The Start activity specifically accompanies entrepreneurs in executing their vision by investing in startups that align with their values and where they can create impact. Their structure as a family office enables quick decision-making and positions them as a stable, ambitious partner with a long-term, evergreen vision without imposed exit horizons.

What Sets Them Apart

  • Family office structure enabling simple, rapid decision-making processes
  • Long-term vision without time constraints or imposed exit horizons ('evergreen' approach)
  • Entrepreneurial motivation as primary driver - financial performance is a consequence, not the goal
  • Alignment of interests through shared vision rather than financial metrics alone
  • Active, hands-on partnership with founders rather than passive investment
  • Agile, pragmatic approach grounded in day-to-day reality of entrepreneurs
  • Commitment to sustainable performance considering ESG issues from startup inception
