Our philosophy
We believe straightforward honesty is the best support a VC can bring. To better react, to execute faster. To keep going in the face of adversity while avoiding the pitfalls. To build to last, in an often cyclical ecosystem.
We partner with the heart-led, away from the ephemeral glory of an entrepreneurship star system: those who crave to leave a legacy and define the markets they shape.
Working With Alven
« Quand tu fais rentrer Alven dans tes investisseurs, si à un moment donné c’est plus dur, tu sais qu’ils sont là et qu’ils ne vont pas te pousser dans le virage »
Nicolas Cohen 
« Le choix pour Alven s’est surtout fait sur une préférence humaine avec qui je me sentais en phase pour les ambitions de Typology »
Ning Li 
« Le VC n’est pas uniquement une question de lever des fonds, mais aussi d'avoir des personnes qui vont nous aider sur le long terme quand ça ira bien quand ça ira mal »
Romain Lapeyre 
« Alven c’est le bon équilibre entre être présent et savoir s'effacer. Leader une levée de fond et accompagner sur des sujets précis via sa platform mais ne pas être trop intrusif et laisser les entrepreneurs faire ce qu’ils savent faire de mieux »
Steve Anavi 
« Je trouvais que le fit était vraiment parfait à la fois en terme de valeurs et en terme de scope »
Carole Juge-Llewellyn 
« Je voulais avoir un board qui soit mes coachs, des personnes qui me challengent, qui soient derrière moi mais avec qui je n’ai pas besoin d’instaurer un filtre »
Come Fouques 
« They are mainly here to help you and to listen to you. This is very important when you are a founder to have an investor that brings you solution like Alven is doing »
Sacha Lazimi 
« Pouvoir tout se dire, pour de super bonnes nouvelles ou pour des moments de doute - cette constance et cette confiance sont extrêmement importantes »
