Cyril Bertrand is a former software architect and telecom engineer who co-authored three patents and launched Alcatel's first Wi-Fi product, giving him unusual technical credibility as a VC at XAnge. He advocates for what he calls buy-side revenge, emphasizing capital efficiency over hype cycles, and actively encourages portfolio companies to pursue B Corp certification while serving as both XAnge's CEO and a hands-on investor.

Notable Investments
XAnge is a Franco-German venture capital fund that operates as the innovation brand of Siparex, a major French private equity group, while maintaining independent early-stage investment operations with €600-800M in assets under management focused on digital, deeptech, and impact investments. The fund distinguishes itself through its award-winning four-person Startup Success platform team that provides tech-enabled services with measurable performance metrics, and by directly managing purpose-built corporate and impact funds including Mutuelles Impact (France's first social and environmental impact fund for healthcare) and La Poste Ventures (€75M corporate VC fund), rather than simply having corporate limited partners.
