Because tomorrow's startups are created on today's campuses!
French students are resolutely focused on innovation, and many are keen to embark on an entrepreneurial adventure. More than 200,000 each year, a figure that is constantly rising.
However, their projects come up against specific pitfalls for which they are insufficiently prepared. 90% of these projects lack capital. More than 50% lack support
Campus Fund offers an innovative approach to financing and tailor-made support for entrepreneurs, students and young graduates in the pre-seed phase. We are sector agnostic, but have a strong appetite for projects with a technological component.
An initial investment of up to €60k, with a potential additional ticket of up to €300k in future rounds.
A team of thematic experts is on hand to provide long-term support to student entrepreneurs for several days a month.
Campus Fund provides its portfolio companies with a toolbox, including negotiated partnerships, enabling a startup to develop (storage, legal, accounting, code, etc.).

Our team brings to entrepreneurs both its roots in the student world and its expertise based on feedback.
Campus Fund carries out the selection of applications through simple and precise steps. We focus on essentials to optimize contributions.
We usually try to be the first investor. This means we're often part of the "love money" round, when companies are developing their MVP.
In order to remain agile, we carry out a selection round every month.
Our funding, ranging from €20k to €60k, can be used for various needs of the company, such as investment in human resources, technology, or developing a proof of concept (POC). Furthermore, this investment acts as a leverage to unlock other financing options such as loans and grants. Therefore, with Campus Fund's investment, the entrepreneur can potentially access up to four times the initially invested amount.
When we finance a company, two experts are assigned according to the company's needs and their expertise. The experts accompany the company for a minimum of two days a month for 12 to 18 months, until the next round of financing.
Our students are sensitive to social and environmental issues, and over 90% of our dealflow is made up of impact projects.
Our goal is to invest in 10 startups a year.
Our aim is to have a fast process. Depending on when you apply for a funding, the process can vary from a few days to 3 months, which is the maximum time between each selection round.
Our experts are entrepreneurs and consultants from major firms, with a wealth of experience in different sectors such as IoT, SaaS, finance, aeronautics, marketing and healthcare.
We generally invest at a very early stage of development. As a result, we are often alone in our financing rounds, although we have no objection to co-investing.
We invest exclusively in companies run by student entrepreneurs and recent graduates. By young graduates, we mean a maximum of two years after graduation.
We don't invest in a specific sector. However, we do have a real appetite for Tech, B2B and scalable companies.
