Antoine Nivard

I invest in software companies at the inception and seed stages.

I've spent the past decade studying how new software markets form and how founders turn product insights into enduring companies. I enjoy working closely with teams on product narrative, early product-market fit, and building the first version of the company.

In 2022, I co-founded and launched Blank's first venture fund, a $65M fund focused on fintech and enterprise software.

Previously I was an early investor at Inovia Capital, a multi-stage venture firm, where I helped build its San Francisco presence and scale the firm from $250M to $2.5B in assets. My work there focused primarily on vertical software, AI, fintech, infra/sec, and health/bio.

Originally from France, I was born and raised in Montpellier before living in Montreal and Shanghai. I now live in San Francisco where I'm building my family.

If you're building something ambitious, I'd love to hear from you.
