Big changes are underway for the global investment firm formerly known as AXA Venture Partners.
After officially completing a management buyout from its parent company AXA, the Paris-based platform is turning the page with a brand-new name: Atlantic Vantage Point (AVP).
This move isn’t just about a fresh coat of paint.
It signals the beginning of an exciting new chapter while staying true to its roots in both Europe and North America.
Staying True to Its Global Vision
AVP may have rebranded, but the team isn’t starting from scratch.
Originally launched back in 2016, the firm has built a strong presence on both sides of the Atlantic.
With this new identity, AVP is making it clear that it plans to double down on its transatlantic focus—supporting innovative, high-growth tech companies whether they’re based in Silicon Valley or the heart of Paris.
Despite parting ways with AXA as a parent company, AVP still values that long-standing relationship and will continue collaborating with AXA going forward.
Backed by Powerhouse Investors
As part of this relaunch, AVP shared another major development—the European Investment Fund (EIF) has officially come on board as an anchor investor in the firm’s AVP Growth Fund I.
This fund is part of the broader European Tech Champions Initiative (ETCI), a program that supports large-scale funds (over €1 billion) aimed at fueling the growth of late-stage tech companies across Europe.
Having both AXA and EIF as key backers gives AVP Growth Fund I strong momentum as it gears up to invest in the next wave of European tech champions.
Already Making Moves in the Market
AVP Growth Fund I has hit the ground running.
Over the past year alone, it has already completed three high-profile transactions, including investments in Agicap and Odoo—two names that are making waves in the European startup ecosystem.
These early deals show that AVP is serious about identifying and backing tech firms with strong growth potential.
Led by Experience, Built for Innovation
Under the leadership of François Robinet, Managing Partner, AVP brings a decade of expertise to the table.
The firm now operates independently, managing over €2.5 billion in assets.
Its approach is wide-reaching, covering four main strategies: venture, early growth, growth, and fund of funds.
Since its inception, AVP has made more than 60 direct investments in tech companies—ranging from deep-tech to tech-enabled businesses—and invested in over 60 venture funds through its fund of funds strategy.
What’s Next for AVP?
With a strong team, a fresh brand, and powerhouse investors behind it, AVP is positioning itself as a major player in the global tech investment space.
As they continue to grow their portfolio and deepen their transatlantic ties, all eyes will be on what this newly independent firm does next.
Stay tuned—because AVP looks ready to make some big waves.
