Mathieu Blanc

Mathieu Blanc is a senior executive at RAISE, the French investment group founded in 2013 and positioned around “finance engagée.” RAISE’s website lists him as “Directeur Général RAISE et Co-head RAISE Invest,” and as a member of the Directoire. The firm’s legal notice also names Monsieur Mathieu Blanc as the publication director for the RAISE website.

His investment role is with RAISE Invest, not an angel-investing or seed-only platform based on the sources reviewed. RAISE Invest is described by the firm as an evergreen strategy focused on active minority investments in profitable, growing French SMEs and ETIs. The strategy reports about €730M in net asset value, 40 investments completed, 21 portfolio companies, 19 exits, and more than 180 build-up transactions.

RAISE Invest’s mandate is growth-oriented private equity: companies with €25M-€500M in revenue, positive EBITDA, and the ability to expand internationally. Public sources found for this profile did not provide a reliable education history or earlier-career chronology for Mathieu Blanc.
