“On behalf of the AVP team, I am extremely happy and proud to welcome Elizabeth as a General Partner at AVP. Elizabeth will contribute to building out our new Late Growth Fund strategy, in particular in North America. With the launch of this new strategy, we now have the capacity to support entrepreneurs along their journey, from early stage to IPO, but also post IPO which is a key differentiator in the market. To support the new strategy, we were looking for an experienced senior investor with a track record in the tech industry. With over 20 years experience as a private equity investor in growing, high value technology companies, Elizabeth is the right profile to reinforce our leadership team especially in New York. In the context of the launch of the new Late Growth Fund, we will in the next few month announce other senior recruitments in Europe to complete the team. I believe that the AVP team, after 7 years of successfully working together, is ready to welcome new members for the next AVP chapter” commented François Robinet, AVP Managing Partner.
“I am very happy to join the AVP team and to contribute to the strategy and execution of the Late Growth Fund, as well as participating more broadly in the general leadership of AVP as a new General Partner. I have been impressed by the quality of the AVP platform and by the strong cohesion and culture of the team. I appreciate the entrepreneurial spirit and the strong commitment to building a world-class investment platform, the launch of the new Late Growth Fund being the latest concrete example. I believe my background is very relevant for the new Late Growth Fund as I have been investing in large tech companies for more than 20 years, and have helped several of them in their journey towards IPO. I believe the timing is perfect to launch such a strategy and I am thrilled to be part of it”, commented Elizabeth de Saint-Aignan, AVP General Partner.
