Edenred Ventures is the independent venture fund, backed by Edenred (EPA:EDEN). With more than 1m client companies across 44 countries, Edenred's platform gives more than 60m users access to the services and products of more than 2m partner merchants.
While building Prepay Technologies, Philippe Dufour benefitted from GE Capital’s advice and support. This experience showed the value of having a CVC on the cap table, helping all the stakeholders achieve their goals. Upon exit to Edenred, Norbert Furnion joined Philippe as they saw an opportunity to combine innovation and venture within the Edenred ecosystem, setting up Edenred Ventures in 2012.
Our value goes beyond funding. We help entrepreneurs accelerate their company’s growth leveraging Edenred’s global presence and local expertise in worker’s benefits, professional mobility, merchant services, and payments. Edenred Ventures has independent venture capital governance.
