First Bridge Ventures

First Bridge Ventures is a Paris-based growth-stage venture capital firm founded in 2019, focused on partnering with exceptional European founders building next-generation technology companies. The firm's defining thesis is geographic arbitrage: it bridges European tech companies with Asian markets and capital, a distinctive positioning in the European VC landscape. The seven-member team includes three partners operating from Paris's 8th arrondissement. First Bridge invests primarily at Series A through Series C, writing checks in the $3 million to $20 million range across e-commerce, logistics, fintech, and consumer technology. The portfolio of six companies includes eToro Group, the global social trading and fintech platform; Paack, a last-mile delivery service; Cubyn, a European fulfillment logistics provider; and Onepilot, a customer service outsourcing platform. The firm has made six tracked investments, with particular concentration in retail and transportation and logistics technology. The Europe-to-Asia bridge is more than positioning. First Bridge actively connects portfolio companies with Asian distribution partners, end customers, and follow-on capital sources, giving European founders a strategic gateway that pure-play European investors rarely provide. For companies with global ambitions, this network access in Asia-Pacific markets represents a substantive competitive advantage beyond the check itself.
