Aonia Ventures

Aonia Ventures is a Paris-based micro-VC firm founded in 2020 with roots in Switzerland, investing in 20 to 30 technology startups per year worldwide at seed and Series A stages. The firm deploys €100K to €250K per deal across healthtech, fintech, greentech, foodtech, wellness, and lifestyle — sectors where Aonia sees urgent problems and scalable solutions converging. A team of three partners runs the fund, maintaining a high-volume, hands-on investment cadence across Europe and the United States. With 55 portfolio companies and counting, Aonia has accumulated a track record that includes one unicorn — Alan, the French health insurance platform — and one public market exit via Field Trip Health and Wellness. These outcomes anchor the portfolio's credibility against a backdrop of broad, consistent early-stage deployment across multiple sectors and geographies. Aonia's model is deliberately high-frequency: by writing smaller checks across a large number of bets each year, the firm maximizes exposure to breakout outcomes while building a portfolio network with compounding cross-sector value. The fund's particular strength in health and wellness, combined with greentech and fintech coverage, reflects founders' growing interest in businesses that address large systemic challenges — a thesis Aonia has pursued since its founding and continues to refine with each cohort of investments.
