In this episode of the EU-Startups Podcast, we catch up with Alisée de Tonnac, the founder and CEO of Seedstars.
Headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland, Seedstars is a global organisation aiming to impact people’s lives in emerging & frontier markets through technology and entrepreneurship. Alisée is also one of our TOP 100: Europe’s most influential women in the startup and venture capital space, and together with her team she has catalyzed over $100 million in impact funds throughout her time at Seedstars.
Seedstars has run hundreds of entrepreneurial programs, invested in numerous startups, launched coding academy schools, and built an investment platform to support emerging fund managers across the globe. They operate in two main activities: The first involves investing in high-growth early-stage technology companies in impactful sectors, either through venture capital funds or by direct investments. The second activity consists of collaborating with the private and public sectors to implement entrepreneurial and educational capacity-building programs. These programs aim to develop ecosystems, create job opportunities, and foster economic growth.
