About Serena

Unleashing your team’s potential for your company’s acceleration.

By entrepreneurs for entrepreneurs

Serena was founded in 2008 upon a resolute eagerness to be the VC our team members dreamed of when they were entrepreneurs.

A huge part of our approach hinges on our understanding of founders’ top priorities and on our willingness to offer them compelling value. That’s why they can leverage extensive entrepreneurial know-how across all sectors and geographies thanks to our experienced team of Partners such as Bertrand Diard (founder of Talend) or Amélie Faure (founder of Generix, CEO of multiple SaaS companies), and reuse what they have already learned. 

A portfolio of fostered excellence

Over the course of ten years, we’ve been very particular about the deals we close. It has translated into a steady commitment to selective standards at the assumed expense of quantity.

As a result, we have carried out 5 exits valued at over €100 million and witnessed many success stories out of Europe such as Aramis (acquired by PSA), The Fork (acquired by Tripadvisor), Cheerz (acquired by Cewe), Selectron, RSI Video Technologies and more recently, Dataiku, that have reached unicorn-status in 2019.

Your team at its fullest potential 

Our portfolio’s C-levels are active members of the Serena Squad, the largest and most active peer-to-peer community in Europe. They are handed access to exclusive templates, playbooks (D&I, Recruitment), best practices sharing, on-demand workshops (US Go to Market, scaling through M&A, sales process…), and a network of experts thoroughly selected, so they can tackle their daily challenges as smoothly as possible.

Our portfolio can also tap into the steady stream of qualified candidates to recruit key people thanks to our talent pool and achieve your diversity objectives.
