Profile
Karista is an early-stage venture capital firm investing in ambitious projects. For the past 20 years, we have been backing and guiding more than 90 companies from inception to success in Health, Digital, and Technology. Because we believe that investment is not only about money but mainly about people, we provide support to our founders and entrepreneurs very early-on.
We come from different backgrounds and bring various skills to help nurturing our portfolio companies on many levels. We are currently investing out of our fourth fund and the Paris Region Venture Fund (PRVF), sponsored by the Paris Region. We will soon be launching our new fund CosmiCapital, sponsored by the CNES and focusing on NewSpace
