This French VC went from posting on YouTube to raising a $12M fund for Y Combinator startups

Gabriel Jarrosson, a French engineer-turned-YouTuber, has founded a venture capital firm focused solely on investing in startups that have gone through Y Combinator's accelerator program. Jarrosson's firm, Kima Ventures, has raised a $12 million fund to support these Y Combinator-backed startups. Jarrosson's unique approach to investing stems from his own experience as a YouTuber, where he gained a following by sharing insights and advice about the startup ecosystem. This experience led him to recognize the value of the Y Combinator brand and the quality of the startups it produces. Kima Ventures aims to provide these Y Combinator startups with not only capital but also strategic guidance and support to help them grow and succeed. The firm's focus on this specific segment of the startup landscape sets it apart from more traditional venture capital firms that invest in a broader range of companies.
