The firm provides capital to businesses building innovative solutions in diverse sectors, including enterprise software, fintech, digital health, and consumer platforms.

The firm originated in 1982 in San Francisco as Paribas Technologies, the corporate venture arm of the French bank Paribas, with Vincent Worms and Tom McKinley among its founding members. Within a decade, the team spun out to become an independent entity, focusing on transatlantic investments and establishing a Paris office in 1996. The firm saw a significant evolution in 2008 when Philippe Collombel and Jean-Marc assumed leadership, embarking on a strategic reboot that leveraged the original founders' legacy.

Partech’s primary focus is on entrepreneurs and technology companies globally, providing the necessary capital to fuel their expansion. The firm operates with the conviction that technology is a fundamental driver of progress, and strategic investment acts as the essential lever for its advancement. Its vision centers on cultivating the tech ecosystem by addressing capital gaps and leveraging the strong talent pools available in key markets.
