Background
I could not verify a public biography, LinkedIn profile, headshot, education record, or current title for Alain Delecroix from primary public sources. The stub data identifies him as President of Capitole Angels, but I could not independently confirm that role from the currently available Capitole Angels / Occitanie Angels website or indexed public sources.
Capitole Angels now redirects to Occitanie Angels, an angel-investor network serving the Occitanie region. The current site describes Occitanie Angels’ mission as supporting the creation and development of innovative regional companies by mobilizing private investors. The organization operates from Montpellier and Toulouse, including La Cité des Startups at 55 Avenue Louis Bréguet, 31400 Toulouse.
The current public site names Philippe Nahoum and Pierre Carli as co-presidents of Occitanie Angels. Because Alain Delecroix does not appear on the current team or business-angel pages I reviewed, any current role should be treated as unverified unless confirmed directly by the organization.
Investment Thesis & Focus
- Invests through an angel-network model focused on early-stage innovative companies in Occitanie.
- Targets companies seeking their first meaningful dilutive round, with Occitanie Angels stating an eligibility threshold of a “premier véritable tour de dilutif de minimum 200 K€.”
- Prefers companies with an existing POC and commercial traction already achieved or imminent within three months; deeptech companies can qualify with a validated model including target, pricing, and commercialization timeline.
- Requires companies to be French, registered with the RCS, and domiciled in Occitanie.
- Looks for complementary teams, ideally combining scientific and business profiles.
- Individual Business Angels in the network invest from €5,000 and contribute skills, experience, networks, and time, not only capital.
- The network emphasizes early investment, long-term support, and mobilizing relevant expertise “au bon moment.”
