FRC’s portfolio is filled with fast-scaling startups securing major funding rounds and disrupting industries. Here are some of the standout success stories:

🔹 Hypefy, winner of Podim’s 2024 Pitching Competition, secured $1.75M in seed funding to revolutionize AI-powered influencer marketing. With new investors on board, they’re now expanding into the US and European markets.

🔹 Native Teams hit a £10M ARR milestone, grew 30% month-over-month, and now serves 70,000 users worldwide. Oh, and their CRO was nominated for CRO of the Year alongside leaders from Slack and Stripe. No big deal.

🔹 Lebesgue secured a €3M funding round, with FRC playing a key role. Their next moves are product expansion, aggressive customer acquisition, and breaking into the US market.

Now, for the best part, Fil Rouge Capital is traditionally Podim’s Golden Unicorn partner and this year is no different. You can meet their team in 1:1 meetings in the Deal Room and meet the famous Julien Coustaury in person.
