About
Alexandre Lacroix, founder
Based in Paris, France and covering both Europe & the US (focus in Austin and DC area), Alexandre has been advising early-stage tech companies in their funding for the past 7 years. First on debt financing, over a wide range of industries for companies like Ubble, Ringover, Luko, Homa or Matera. He then moved to equity dealmaking, working on deals such as Teeptrak, Happypal, DataGalaxy or Skipper NDT.
On the side, Alexandre has small angel investments in over 45 companies (Gladia, Stockly, Payflows, Carbon Maps etc.), in rounds led by known investors (XAnge, Breega, Eurazeo, Sequoia, Daphni etc.).
The mission
Early-stage financing is undergoing a mutation for the last few years. Companies still need capital to grow, but when the “rules of the game” to get funded seem to change every 6 months.
Our mission is to bring founders consistency and structure in the vital step of fundraising.
The marengo doctrine
Artisanal
We select a limited number of clients every year to ensure full focus & availability. We optimize for winrate, not volume. We do not believe in brokerage.
Committed
Dedicated and hands-on until closing. The partner in charge wonʼt vanish after the mandate, leaving juniors to execute. Your deck wonʼt be made in 15 minutes from 3 bulletpoints using AI either, because your fundraise is too critical for that.
Fundamental
We build equity stories from data, not buzzwords. This is not 2021 anymore. We dive in your CRM and cohorts to find gold, anchored to market and investor expectations. Thatʼs the work.
