Statements from Revaia’s Co-Founders

Alice Albizzati, co-founder of Revaia, stated the firm was founded on a commitment to aligning investment strategy with core beliefs. This includes a focus on ambitious European companies without compromising on sustainability, and bridging the gap between private and public markets.

She further noted that the venture’s performance has exceeded initial expectations.

Elina Berrebi, also a co-founder, expressed gratitude to investors and entrepreneurs for their trust. She described the fund’s final closing as a significant milestone.

Berrebi added that this provides a strong foundation for supporting future European technology leaders and expanding the team internationally, while also building a robust value creation platform.

Fund Deployment and Geographic Expansion

Revaia has already begun deploying capital from the new fund. The firm anticipates announcing two new investments in the near future.

The fund’s investment strategy targets approximately 15 companies and aims for expansion across the European continent.

The fund’s institutional investors include prominent insurance companies like Generali, Allianz, and MAIF. Pension funds and other institutional investors, such as Bpifrance, also participated.

Over 50 family offices and angel investors contributed to the fund.

Revaia has also established a partnership with Sycomore Asset Management, a sustainable investor in listed markets.

The firm maintains offices in Paris and Berlin, alongside a presence in New York and Toronto.
