Isabelle Azoulai Amiel (La Maison): Access to Resilience
La Maison Compagnie dInvestissement, founded by Michel Cicurel, is an investment club that provides access to sought-after tech investments. The tech sector has proven to be resilient and a safe area for investments during the Covid-19 pandemic. La Maison has investment vehicles in Israel, Silicon Valley, and China. They have recently opened their fintech fund to institutions, with a minimum investment of €10 million. The club is considering launching another Silicon Valley fund and an Israeli fund in the future. The Israeli tech environment is unique, with a focus on international markets from the start. Access to investments in Silicon Valley and China is challenging and requires partnerships. The French tech industry has lacked support for growth, but the government is now encouraging the growth venture industry. The tech sector is expected to perform well due to the changing perceptions caused by the pandemic.
