Eric Burdier co-created Axeleo first as a B2B accelerator before raising a fund, giving him an operator-like perspective with founders, and was one of the earlier French B2B investors to lean hard into proptech/contech as a dedicated vertical with the first acceleration fund specializing in Proptech. He has been a driving force behind the B2B Rocks conference and community across Paris, Sydney, and Montpellier, using it as a platform to connect global B2B/SaaS founders and investors while building his reputation through active media presence advocating for B2B founders.

• A strong focus on B2B software and specialized tech verticals, specifically cybersecurity, enterprise data, and embedded software. He frequently highlights portfolio wins in these areas, such as celebrating a Series A round for an HR tech platform or sharing updates on pitch competitions dedicated entirely to cybersecurity startups.
• Dedicated to Seed stage investments across the European market. He is transparent about his firm's investment thesis, explicitly noting a geographical focus on France and Europe with specific initial funding amounts aimed at early-stage companies rather than later-growth stages.
• Enthusiasm for sustainability and GreenTech solutions. He recently showcased support for a company developing software to help corporations decarbonize their IT infrastructure, signaling an interest in startups that combine digital innovation with energy efficiency.
• Active participation in the broader venture ecosystem through major industry events. He regularly shares his travel to hubs like Berlin and Lisbon for conferences such as SuperVenture and WebSummit, emphasizing the value of meeting founders and peers face-to-face in casual settings.
• Passionate about sports, particularly rugby and international football. He occasionally steps away from business topics to post about major European matches or cheer on national teams, which offers a casual conversation starter for founders with similar interests.
