Alain Dinin spent over two decades building Nexity from an LBO-backed carve-out into a leading French real estate group before becoming a Venture Partner at Daphni, bringing unusually deep operational experience compared to most venture investors. He focuses on backing entrepreneurs from diverse and underrepresented backgrounds through Time4's impact-oriented fund, while using his real estate expertise to bridge traditional industry knowledge with tech-enabled startups in areas like renovation and urban development.

Notable Investments
Daphni operates as a VC-as-a-platform with an online community called daphnipolis where 300+ LPs, experts, founders and partners share dealflow and portfolio support in real time, making it structurally community-driven rather than purely partner-driven. The fund has built an unusually heavy media operation that deliberately generates differentiated dealflow and founder relationships, treating content and brand reach as core sourcing infrastructure rather than a side activity.
