Alain Rodermann General Information
Biography
Mr. Alain Rodermann is a Co-Founder & serves as Managing Partner at Expon Capital. He serves as Board Member at LPEA. He serves as a Board Member at Coinhouse. He serves as Board Observer at travel. He is a senior Venture Capitalist, an entrepreneur, and a former technical leader in global corporations. He spent the first eight years of his career in technical positions, leveraging his studies in mathematics, electrical engineering, and computer science. He understood in 1995 that Internet Technologies would revolutionize the entire IT industry and decided to be part of this revolution by joining the startup ecosystem. After an MBA in 1997, Innovacom, the Venture Arm of France Telecom, hired him for his expertise in Internet technologies. As an Investment Director, he invested at an early stage in companies and had notable successes with the IPOs of Net value, Integra, and Lastminute.com, a company that generated $3 billion in yearly revenues just 6 years after its inception. He became a Partner at Sofinnova in 1999, a leading pan-European venture capital firm with a diversified early-stage Life Science / IT strategy. He experienced the dotcom boom and burst, and the tough years that followed, for both startups and VCs. In this context, he managed to secure successes in Europe and the US (Emailvision, Maximiles, Atomz, and Wyplay). He received a Master of Science in Electrical Engineering from Supélec and graduated summa cum laude from Institut d'Etudes Politiques de Paris (Sciences Po) where he obtained an MBA. He also holds an Associate Degree in Mathematics and a Bachelor of Arts in Art History. He served as Board Member at Sirdata.
