About Alexandre Berriche
Alexandre Berriche is the co-founder of Fleet and now its executive chairman. Fleet is a bootstrapped device-as-a-service company that equips, manages and renews IT equipment for SMBs, startups and scale-ups. Dealroom reports that it operates in several European markets and reached roughly £30m in revenue without venture funding. He was previously CEO of the company.
Before Fleet, public profiles list him as VP of Operations and Expansion at Ironhack and Managing Director of Jumia Tunisia. He studied at IÉSEG School of Management and is based in the Paris area. Crunchbase and Nordic9 also list him as a scout for Sequoia Capital.
Databases count his personal investments differently. PitchBook lists 14 investments, 13 portfolio companies and one exit. Crunchbase lists 17 investments. Dealroom describes him as one of Europe's high-volume "super angels" who invests at pre-seed and sometimes uses SPVs. PitchBook also lists him as an LP in Seedcamp.
One directory snippet names Kocomo, Claap, Finary and Convelio among his angel investments. Tracxn lists Gladia and Pivot. Crunchbase shows trawa (March 2023) and Repodo (pre-seed). A recent LinkedIn post says he invested as an angel in ZML alongside Kindred Capital.
On the Lounge deals desk he appears in two June 2026 seed rounds. Archestra.AI announced a $10M seed and lists him among its investors. Archestra builds an enterprise MCP platform with security guardrails and compliance controls for AI agents. Nordic9 reports that 20VC led the round.
fonio.ai, a Vienna-based company that builds AI phone agents for SMBs, raised a $17M seed led by 20VC. Sacra reports a $140M post-money valuation. In his own LinkedIn post he says the company had close to 10,000 customers and more than 50 staff. He has also posted about backing ZML and Gladia, and Dealroom cites Lovable as one of his breakout winners.
Public sources point to pre-seed and seed investing, with a base in France. Nordic9 shows most of his tracked deals in France and in software services. His recent AI deals are in agent security, voice agents and AI infrastructure. He has not published a check size that we could confirm, so none is listed here.
