About Blaise Matuidi

Blaise Matuidi is a World Cup-winning footballer who cofounded and serves as General Partner at Origins Fund, making him part of the first generation of top European athletes to become full-time tech investors rather than just endorsers. He uses Origins' large athlete and influencer LP base—collectively reaching around 160 million social followers—as an influence engine for portfolio companies, creating bespoke campaigns that leverage this reach to materially impact their growth.

Blaise Matuidi's Interests

What they've been talking about across their social media accounts
  • Focus on the intersection of sports, media, and technology, specifically within the Web3 and blockchain sectors. He attended Paris Blockchain Week to explore how the SportFi ecosystem helps clubs reach global fans and announced a partnership with Lympo for digital collectibles.
  • Commitment to the French technology ecosystem and fostering diversity among entrepreneurs. He celebrated his role as an ambassador for French Tech Tremplin, noting that a wide range of talent is a major asset for the national tech environment.
  • Emphasis on the transfer of values from professional athletics to the business world. He often draws parallels between the discipline and passion required on the field and in the boardroom, recently celebrating a business distinction awarded to him and his firm, OriginsVC.
  • Interest in platforms that financialize or support human capital and talent. He publicly announced joining Royaltiz because he strongly believes in the potential of investing in people and individual careers.

Origins Fund writes $100k-$500k checks to consumer startups and systematically plugs them into a coordinated social media machine of ~160M followers from their LP base of elite athletes and celebrities, using that reach for launches and campaigns rather than traditional PR channels. The fund is structurally backed by global athletes including 2018 World Cup winner Blaise Matuidi as co-founder, and positions itself as the specialist "influence + consumer" partner that sits alongside leading institutional funds like Sequoia and General Catalyst in portfolio rounds.
