Investor Profile: CapHorn — Thesis, Cheque Size & How to Apply

CapHorn, styled Cap Horn VC on its own site, is the Paris-based venture firm that backs B2B digital companies driving digital transformation across Europe. Founded in 2011 by Guillaume, it focuses on Series A and B rounds, typically in the 2 to 20 million euro range. This profile of CapHorn funding covers what the firm looks for, its portfolio, and how to get funding from CapHorn.

One housekeeping note: PitchBook records that CapHorn merged with Anaxago Capital to form Ambra Capital on 1 December 2025, while the firm's own site (caphorn.vc) remains live. Verify the current entity name before you apply.

Thesis

CapHorn invests in B2B startups that digitise and modernise traditional businesses, with stated interests in climate technology, health technology and enterprise technology. The firm commits roughly 40 million euros a year and positions itself as a long-term partner from seed to IPO, backing the environmental transition and the digitalisation of legacy industries.

Sectors & stage

The core is B2B software, SaaS and AI, with technology-driven plays in healthcare, real estate and analytics. Stage coverage is broad: from pre-seed and seed through Series A, B and beyond, with the main weight on Series A and B. Geography is France first, with investments also in the UK, the US and Belgium.

Fund size & cheque size

The firm has not publicly disclosed its fund sizes. Third-party investor databases estimate around 180 million euros under management across two funds, with rounds ranging from 2 to 20 million euros and reported assets of about 200 million euros. Treat the totals as estimates, not firm-stated figures.

Notable portfolio

Publicly cited investments include Naboo (corporate event platform), Tilak Healthcare (vision-care digital therapeutics), Finalcad (construction SaaS), InterCloud (whose 22 million euro round the firm announced), nPlan, Hummink and Agriodor. CapHorn was also an investor in Ledger's 380 million dollar Series C. PitchBook tracks 123 investments and 46 exits for the firm.

Partners

Guillaume founded CapHorn in 2011 and serves as venture partner with more than 20 years in the VC ecosystem. Flora, formerly of Bpifrance and Rocket Internet, manages the VC team as managing partner, and Alexandre P. is a venture partner after 15 years of operational experience including Microsoft and Tata Communications.

Programs & perks

CapHorn runs no public accelerator, credit programme or founder platform that could be verified. Its value-add claim is blunt, hands-on partnership: the site's tagline is "the VC you can trust", promising founders honesty and genuine care rather than perks.

How to apply for funding from CapHorn

The firm's own press releases name Alexandre Pelletier ([email protected]) as the CapHorn investor contact, which is the most direct verified route in. Given the reported Anaxago combination, also check the Ambra Capital entity before sending materials.
