Super Capital plays a significant role in the French and international startup ecosystems by offering 360° financing support, including equity and non-dilutive funding, helping startups scale and succeed[1][2][6].
Founded in 2018 by Corentin Orsini, Super Capital began as a community of business angels. In 2020, it evolved into Super Capital VC with partners Thibaut Gimenez and Frédéric Bouleuc joining the leadership. The firm expanded in 2021 by launching Super Capital Leverage, introducing non-dilutive financing options with partner Frédéric Baecke. This evolution reflects a broadening from pure venture capital to a full-spectrum financing group supporting startups at various stages and funding needs[1].
