SEEFT Management SAS SEEFT Management SAS Investment ManagersFinance SEEFT is a venture capital investment manager focused on the software industry and related activities. The firm invests in early-stage technology companies, typically in seed or first-round financing. They may also invest opportunistically in spin-offs from industrial groups, in expansion financing after an initial self-financed growth phase or in a restarts. SEEFT aims to invest in companies which develop technologies and solutions enabling large corporations to compete from an IT standpoint in their global environment. The firm initially invests up to 1 million Euros, as sole investor or in syndication, and may participate in subsequent financing rounds, generally as the lead investor. SEEFT follows a hands-on approach and aims to assist their portfolio company in identifying needed resources and personnel rather than to supply them. Their investment selection process emphasizes the technical and business capabilities of the management team, as well as the product-market mix strategy.
