About Alexis Robert
Alexis Robert is a General Partner at Kima Ventures in Paris. Kima invests the business angel checks of Xavier Niel. Sifted describes him as a former engineer and technical founder. In an interview he said he started coding at age eight and built companies while studying software engineering.
Crunchbase lists him as founder of ShowMango, as co-founder of Fluttr, and as a Kima partner. It also lists Télécom Paris and HEC Paris as his schools. A podcast episode published in January 2026 says he has been an investor at Kima for more than 10 years.
Alexis invests through Kima Ventures, which Sifted says backs 100 startups a year and has a portfolio of more than 1,500 companies. He describes Kima as a super angel rather than a traditional VC. Each general partner handles their own deal flow, and there is no investment committee. He says most deal flow comes through networks, existing founders and other funds. He compares evaluating a startup to recruiting, and says Kima wants to support founders as people as well as their companies.
The Lounge deals desk lists one AI round for Alexis: HrFlow.ai, a $7M round in April 2026. Press coverage calls the round pre-Series A. It was led by 115K and EmergingTech Ventures, with existing investors taking part. HrFlow.ai also named Alexis among the investors who backed it early. It builds an API-first AI platform for HR data, which it calls Hiring SuperIntelligence.
Kima is described as one of the most active pre-seed and seed funds in the world. In an interview, Alexis said Kima invests in about two startups per week, with small tickets of €100K to €150K. This is the firm's stated range. He has not published a personal check size. A third-party profile says he focuses on developer tools and deep tech, but the sources we found do not confirm a specific AI thesis. Kima is based in Paris, and its portfolio includes companies outside France.
