Paris, Ile-de-France
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAlexis Robert is a Venture Capital general partner based in Paris with 17 years of hands-on engineering and founder experience, now investing at scale through Kima Ventures' 1,000+ company portfolio. He pairs deep low-level technical chops — from rebuilding Linux kernels and building NFC payment terminals (firmware, hardware, and fleet management) — with relentless early-stage operator grit learned while co-founding and pivoting ShowMango. His background spans embedded C++/FreeRTOS, distributed ephemeral networks for large events, and building production-ready backend and deployment systems, giving him a rare ability to assess technical risk in startups. He has shipped fault-tolerant systems handling tens of thousands of concurrent users under harsh connectivity constraints and overseen successful exits like PayinTech. Trained at Télécom Paris and HEC Paris, he blends engineering rigor with product and business sensibilities. Notably, he once applied to VC with just £2 in his bank account—an anecdote that captures his resilience and appetite for high-velocity experimentation.
