Edison Partners

Elaia Partners is a Paris-based venture capital firm founded in 2002, focused on seed through growth-stage investments in enterprise software, deep technology, and artificial intelligence companies primarily in France and the broader European market. The firm manages approximately EUR 750 million in assets under management and invests with initial checks from $1 million to $10 million, taking an active board role and providing operational support in enterprise go-to-market strategy, international expansion, and talent development. Elaia focuses on companies where the core competitive advantage is technical depth and scientific innovation, particularly in artificial intelligence, data infrastructure, developer tools, marketplace technology, and digital media technology. Criteo, the performance marketing and advertising technology company that completed a Nasdaq IPO in 2013, was backed by Elaia as an early investor. Mirakl, the marketplace platform technology company, has grown into one of France's most valuable private technology companies. Teads, the outstream video advertising platform, and Orchestra Networks, the master data management software company acquired by Informatica, are additional portfolio companies. Beyond its original investments, the portfolio includes additional French and European deep tech and enterprise software companies.
