November by D’Ornano + Co.: what are the implications of mega rounds led by Non Traditional Investors for founders, why Udemy is succeeding, and new challenges for Modern Private Investors?

This is issue number 3 of our monthly newsletter dedicated to Tech x Investments.

That's it, French Tech has just exceeded 10 billion euros raised! Twice as much as in 2020. Europe is gradually catching up with China and the United States, where VC investment volumes are much higher. We are proud to have been at the forefront of these operations and to see what increasingly brings Modern Investors together today, whether they are traditional or not: beyond the balance sheet and the redefinition of valuations and metrics, the appeal for social and environmental impact seems inescapable. What used to be a concern for VCs, who by definition are reputation-centric, must become an essential assessment criteria for everyone. As of now, assessing a fast-growing company and securing its investment project requires an environmental assessment approach, done in the most rigorous and rapid way possible as median time between rounds is falling across all stages.
