Olympe Capital

Olympe Capital operates as a club of women business angels, channeling capital into early-stage French innovative companies. The collective focuses its investment strategy on ventures that feature at least one female founder and maintain a minimum of 30% female capital ownership. While not explicitly an impact fund, the firm prioritizes businesses with demonstrably sustainable and responsible models, investing individual tickets up to 50,000 euros.

The firm was co-founded by sisters Rafaelle and Marine Faibis, with the initial concept emerging in early 2023. Rafaelle, drawing on over a decade of experience at Eurazeo and her role as M&A Director at Capstone Finance, observed a significant gender imbalance in existing angel networks. This insight prompted her to conceive a dedicated female investment club, partnering with Marine, who brings a background in startup development. The firm's name honors Olympe de Gouges, reflecting its foundational philosophy.

Olympe Capital aims to serve French innovative companies led by women, addressing the historical challenges female entrepreneurs face in securing funding. Their broader vision encompasses both providing critical early capital to these ventures and empowering more women to confidently engage in the investment landscape. The firm leverages its members' collective expertise and networks to foster growth and equality within the entrepreneurial ecosystem.
