Fondo Ventures digitalizes a sustainable supply chain for sectors and territories.

Growing with meaning

Why Fondo Ventures?

Fondo Ventures is the Venture Studio specializing in the creation of B2B SaaS startups for the supply chain market, with a development strategy based on sustainability.

We are developing a holistic approach to the trinity of entrepreneurship - web - sustainability, which is at the heart of our project.

Our approach to industries and regions is designed to make sense at every level.

The territory

Fondo Ventures is based in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region, and our newly-created startups will also be based there. Whether we're recruiting future managers or employees, or financing our companies, we want to give priority to local people and structures, developing training and partnerships as far as possible. Our approach is therefore both territorial and sector-based.

Sustainable growth

Fondo Ventures positions its solutions with a proactive market value to best achieve a balance between growth and profitability in an optimal timeframe between market capture, technological obsolescence and team skills development. Similarly, our growth model, both for the Venture Studio and for newly-created startups, is supported by a balance between self-financing (through sales) and venture capital financing.

The impact

The supply chain, by its very nature, raises a number of civilizational challenges: decarbonization, cooperation, efficiency, resilience, urbanization... Digitalization is one of the answers to these challenges. The digitalization we are implementing aims to have a positive impact on improving our users' working conditions and decarbonizing our customers' activities.

The learning organization

By its very nature, a Venture Studio is a sustainable organization that aims to minimize risks and costs by capitalizing on the repeatability of operations and the expertise accumulated in its market. As a learning organization, we make it part of our DNA to constantly challenge ourselves.

The trademark

Our software is developed with an eye to standardization, interoperability, the use of opensource technology bricks, and the concepts of privacy & security by design. As such, all our companies are built to a recognized level of quality: the Fondo Ventures trademark.

Discover our vision

Our approach

The Fondo Ventures process is organized into 6 stages, and the conditions for moving from one stage to the next are clearly established and objectified. This process makes it possible to steer and arbitrate the various projects, optimizing the probability of success for each company created.

Our Venture Studio aims to create value over the long term, even after the companies created by Fondo Ventures have exited the market. Our process aims to master our trademark. This will take the form of a Fondo label, which will guarantee quality and security for customers and investors throughout the life of the company.
