About Ludovic Jacquot
Ludovic Jacquot is CEO of Batipart Europe. He is also a former Chairman of EMEA Real Estate Investment Banking at Morgan Stanley. Both roles are listed in the January 2026 announcements of GoCanopy's seed round. Crunchbase gives his location as Paris, France.
His professional background is in real estate investment and finance, not in building software companies. Public sources do not list founder roles or an operating history in AI startups for him. Founders should read his angel activity as that of a senior real estate executive backing software built for his own industry.
Crunchbase lists one personal investment for Ludovic Jacquot: the GoCanopy seed round. The Crunchbase GoCanopy page shows the round dated January 2026. No other angel investments, exits or investing years are listed in the sources we found.
He does not appear to publish an investing thesis, a check size or a fund. None of these are stated here because none are public.
In January 2026 GoCanopy announced a €2.1M seed round. ISAI led it, with BNP Paribas Développement, Yellow and angel investors including Andrew Baum and Ludovic Jacquot. GoCanopy is a Paris-based company founded in 2023 by William He and Yaswanth Kumar Pabbisetti. It builds an AI-powered operating system for institutional real estate investors.
The platform uses agentic AI to ingest and structure documents such as offering memoranda, rent rolls and asset management reports. The company said some large institutional real estate investors already use it, including Brookfield and certain Apollo-managed funds. Press coverage described the round as the company's first outside funding after it bootstrapped.
The only public data point is an AI product for institutional real estate teams, backed at seed stage in Europe. That is too little to define a stage, sector or geography mandate. His check size in GoCanopy and any check size policy have not been disclosed.
Founders building AI for real estate investment, asset management or property finance are the closest match to his visible activity. He has not published a statement on what he looks for in founders.
