Paris VC Cluster
It might not be Sand Hill Rd in terms of the amount of capital ready to plop on startups, but the Mairie du 8eme (District 8 or 8th Arrondissement) is certainly the center for VC in France.
The Chausson Finance corporate advisory team pinpointed the location of much of France's VC community using GoogleMaps and as you can see, the majority of VCs are located within the 2km squared district near the Arc De Triomphe.
It's a much tighter cluster compared to Switzerland, for example, which despite being a lot smaller than France would require visits to at least three cities to meet the moneymen.
We highlighted Spef Ventures, currently France's most active VC investor.
