Entrepreneur Invest, formerly Entrepreneur Venture, was founded in 2000 as an AMF-approved French management company. The firm says it has more than 25 years of experience, more than €2B collected since 2000, and more than 350 investments completed. Its business has shifted from its historical venture-capital roots toward small-cap private equity, private debt, real estate financing, and fund-of-funds products; the firm’s own history page notes a 2019 redefinition of the PME investment strategy and an “arrêt du capital risque” / end of venture-capital investing.

Meunier is also publicly listed by Le Projet Moteur! as “Directeur ESG & Strategy – Entrepreneur Invest,” indicating a role connected to ESG and strategic initiatives rather than only deal execution. Entrepreneur Invest’s own materials emphasize “investissement positif,” ESG KPIs, and extra-financial support to portfolio companies, which aligns with that public title.
