Alpic's $6M Pre-Seed: Inside a Repeat Founder's Fundraising Playbook

About this event

A behind-the-scenes conversation with Pierre-Louis Théron, CEO of Alpic, on how he closed a $6M pre-seed in a very short time. Built for founders raising or preparing to raise.

Most fundraising advice comes from people who've raised once. Pierre-Louis has raised 4 times. His first raise took 12 months and felt like grinding through molasses. His latest, the $6M pre-seed for Alpic, closed in two weeks with Partech leading and angels from Mistral, Datadog, and Dataiku in the round.

What changed isn't the market. It's the playbook.

Join us on May 21 at 11am CET for a live conversation with Pierre-Louis Théron, CEO and Co-Founder of Alpic, and Alexis Guinebretière, Head of Sales at Roundtable, where we break down how a repeat founder actually runs a raise.

Our speakers:

Pierre-Louis Théron - CEO and Co-Founder, Alpic. Repeat founder. Previously co-founded Streamroot (video infrastructure, exited). Co-founded Alpic with Nikolay (his École Centrale and Streamroot partner) and three others. Closed a $6M pre-seed for Alpic in a very short time, led by Partech, with K5 Global, Kima Ventures, Irregular Expression, and angels from Mistral, Datadog, and Dataiku. Based between Paris and San Francisco.

Alexis Guinebretière - Sales Lead, Roundtable. Alexis works directly with founders and investors to structure SPVs and manage co-investor allocation.

What you'll learn:

  • The repeat founder arc: what changes between your first painful raise and your fifth fast one
  • How to build VC relationships months before you actually need money
  • How to engineer FOMO and create real urgency around your round
  • "VC Radio": how investors talk about your deal when you're not in the room, and how to shape that conversation
  • How to architect your investor mix between leads, funds, and operator angels (and when to say no)
  • A live Q&A to ask your most pressing fundraising questions directly

Who should attend:

  • Founders raising at pre-seed or seed
