About
Marie Geneste brings an unusually deep corporate media background to venture capital, having built Lagardère's corporate venture arm from scratch and later worked hands-on at iROKOtv, the Netflix of Africa, across London, New York, and Lagos. She approaches investing with a distinctive open-innovation mindset, spending years building relationships with founders before investing and leveraging corporate networks alongside capital rather than just writing checks.
