Otium Capital is a family office headquartered in Paris, France, executing a thesis-driven investment strategy to back founders building the creative society. As a patient capital investor, they focus on early-stage funding opportunities within Europe, particularly in seed and series A rounds, with the ability to commit funds ranging from €490,000 to €14,000,000 while retaining significant follow-on capacity. Their mission is directed at facilitating progress by entrepreneurial minds shaping society in domains such as work, education, health, consumption, and urban development. To cater to the diverse spectrum of startup requirements, Otium Capital has bifurcated their investment approach into two distinct arms: Otium Venture and Otium Consumer. Otium Venture dedicates itself to technology investments, particularly those harnessing value from software, data, and network effects. Conversely, Otium Consumer is primed to fund consumer startups innovating products and services that resonate with the needs and values of Millennials and Generation X. Additionally, their investment purview extends to marketplaces, SaaS products, hospitality, gaming, and the entertainment industries across the EU and US, from pre-seed stages to leveraged buyouts (LBO). Otium emphasizes a collaborative approach by providing entrepreneurial culture and sectoral expertise to assist founders in pioneering innovative and ambitious projects. Besides investment, Otium encompasses Otium Partners for helping shape future market leaders through strategic acquisitions and Otium Studio, an incubator that nurtures innovative concepts to commercial development. This multi-faceted approach underlines Otium’s dedication to entrepreneurial audacity and their role as a trusted partner since 2009.
We invest in ambitious founders across EU/US from Pre-Seed to LBO with specialisation in Marketplaces, SaaS, Hospitality, Gaming and entertainment industries.
