Xavier Niel is the founder behind Kima Ventures, his Paris-based angel/family-office vehicle, and is also known as the founder of Iliad/Free and Station F. Kima’s stated approach is early-stage, mainly pre-seed and seed with some sources also describing Series A, and it invests globally while remaining sector-agnostic. The firm is widely reported to write a fixed check of about €150,000 per startup and to back roughly 2–3 companies per week; sources describe it as primarily follow-on-light or “one check per company,” rather than a lead investor model. Named portfolio companies cited by sources include Wise, Front, Oyster, Abyssale, and stoïk. Publicly, Kima is described as a “business angel at scale,” emphasizing speed, standardized tickets, and global reach.
