The Growth Frontier with Julien Coustaury of Fin Rouge Capital | Ben's Fireside Interviews

This week we talk to Julien Coustaury who founded Fil Rouge Capital in 2016 with only a $2.5mn fund looking for seed & pre-seed opportunities in Eastern Europe. Today, Julien and his team are into their 3rd fund and well on the way to $100mn of AUM and over 170 investments made across their funds. FRC has had a number of major successes including Native Team originally founded in Skopje, Macedonia. FRC invested at a E5mn valuation in 2021. The business was recently valued at E300mn with exit expectations by the fund team at E1bn+. Native Teams manages international hiring, payroll & compliance. They operate in over 85 countries and have approximately 200 employees. The company encompasses the basic vision for FRC, local companies with global reach. Julien and his co-founder Roger Blott are keen to keep the operation small, flexible and always approachable to the founders of their investee companies, hence the raise for the 3rd fund of E55-60mn. This also enhances returns and incentivises the GP team to rely on carry for their return and not management fees. There are few players in the region in this segment, as a result, the top ideas and talent permeates toward FRC’s investment platform. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- To see more from Julien, check out FRC at https://www.filrougecapital.com/ Join our email list to be the first to see these videos every week: https://mailchi.mp/traderoutescapital...
