Nicolas El Baze: First on Board Next Company
Fund: Partech International
Posted by Anonymous on 2007-12-04
I was founder and CEO of a software startup with a successful exit. We had three VC investors through two rounds of funding before being acquired by a large public company. Previously, I was an officer at several other VC-backed startups, so I have boardroom experience with many other firms beyond these three. I can say with conviction, that if I seek VC funding in the future, Nicolas, will be first on my wish list for a partner.
Nicolas is an entrepreneur at heart and has successfully built companies himself - from scratch. He was the most helpful when it came to actually running the business. He is smart and articulate. He is level-headed and consistent in the boardroom. He and Partech were always the most helpful when we needed an introduction to someone or some organization. His input was always relevant and grounded in experience.
If you need a firm that can add value from Series A onward, I highly recommend Partech, and Nicolas in particular.
