We’re proud to back La Fraise with 20VC and Seedcamp.

This month, we brought Kima Ventures founders together for a new Kima Circles session focused on one of the toughest challenges every founder faces: hiring. With us were two recruitment heavyweights:  Flavien Coronini (Founding TA Lead at Hugging Face) and Julien Entresangle (Fractional TA Lead) From finding the right talent to choosing the right channels and knowing when to bring in a recruiter, the discussion went straight to the essentials of early-stage hiring. We opened the space for a founder-to-founder exchange. Grateful for the energy in the room and the lessons shared. Thank you all for being part of it: Louis Greverie Tom LOTHAIRE Mathilde Kolb Karen-Laure Mrejen Sebastian Partarrieu Nicolas Garcin Mykyta Voytenko Edouard Labarthe Hugo Lochmann Max Guerois Mathieu Marseille Antoine Sueur Gillian Keusch-Bessard Shreyas Rajagopalan Quentin Carayon Baptiste Debever Aminata Diagne Cécile NAIT Constant Razel Cyril Véran Alexandru Agachi Eliott Hoffenberg Pierre-Louis Theron Baptiste Nassoy

✨ Paage announces its $2M seed to build the AI cockpit for social commerce. Paage is the AI workspace that lets independent creators and brands design, connect, and grow online-no code or marketing required. Describe the product or page you want in natural language, and Paage’s AI turns it into a live, elegant, interactive page that centralizes content, offers, payments, and audience management. In under ten months, Paage grew from 0 to 100,000 users across 10+ countries, with 60% already in the U.S. proof that social commerce is becoming the default go-to-market for creators. Huge applause to co-founders Jean Ronin and Nicolas Garcin and the whole Paage team, we’re thrilled to back your vision of “augmented autonomy,” where AI amplifies individuality instead of boxing creators into templates. Congratulations to AGLAÉ VENTURES and CASSIUS for co-leading the round, with participation from exceptional angels including Alexandre Eruimy (ex‑PrestaShop), Félix Malfait (Twenty), Darren Lachtman (Goldenset Collective), Nicolas Rattaz (Apolo), and Enzo Mattioli Ferrari (Ferrari Family Investment).

🚀 DotBlocks raises €1.4M to reinvent how engineering simulations are built, shared, and scaled. No code, no time wasted. DotBlocks is a modular no-code simulation platform for process engineers, dramatically cutting the time to run thermal, fluid and structural simulations — from weeks to hours. Why now? As industries rush to decarbonize, the bottlenecks of legacy tools are stalling innovation. DotBlocks replaces them with fast, flexible, and purpose-built simulation blocks designed for modern R&D and industrial teams. 🛠️ Massive congrats to Kévin Lippera and Joffrey Bluthé on bringing this from lab notebooks to signed deals. We’re thrilled to back you at Day 1. They just raised €1.4M led by OPRTRS CLUB, with AGLAÉ VENTURES .

Our last Kima Ventures Afterwork. Fresh founders. Fast connections. You shared what you’re building and what you’re learning as you start. Thanks to everyone who came through :)

🔬 Quantum computing works. It just doesn’t scale. Every system today hits the same wall: wiring — too hot, too complex, too big. Paul Magnard and Théodore AMAR founded Isentroniq to fix that. Their superconducting cabling tech could multiply the number of qubits while cutting cryogenic load by 1,000×. They just raised €7.5M led by Heartcore Capital, with OVNI Capital, IXCORE GROUP, Better Angle, EPSL VC, and us, backed by Bpifrance and France 2030. We invested alongside some of the best to help them scale what quantum can be.

🌍 Proud to back Fenix Energy, the climate-tech reinventing industrial heat with iron fuel. The team — Driss LARAQUI, PhD, Nawal JAMMOT, Zachary Chandler, Sylvain Allano, Youssef Berro, and Frédéric — is on a mission to decarbonize one of the hardest-to-abate sectors: industrial heat. Industrial heat drives 20% of global CO2 emissions and still relies on fossil fuels. Fenix’s patented high-temperature boiler turns recyclable iron powder into circular, controllable, carbon-free heat — available 24/7, anywhere. The €3.3M round was led by EIT RawMaterials, with 50 Partners Impact, Climate Club, Mesh, keenest 🌈, and top business angels. This is a bold step toward making iron a cornerstone of the global energy transition.

With Serena, Clover & Pitch in Motion, we brought founders, athletes, and investors together for a 5km run this month. What started as a simple idea turned into a packed evening of energy, grit, and honest conversation. The event featured standout voices from our community. Thank you to Joséphine Bayle, Axel Alletru, Ben Dupont, Angèle Paty, and everyone who ran with us. These moments remind us that building and competing share the same fundamentals: resilience, teamwork, and showing up. We’re glad to help create spaces where ambition meets action :) Let’s keep the momentum. See you at the next one!
