The model of Kima Ventures is simple: We apply the power law to a statistic model through 100 deals a year. We edge this law applying a different strategy on 30% of the deals we make every year. At the beginning, Jeremie Berrebi was alone to invest in about 100 deals a year and his excel sheet was just fine to manage the dealflow. Obviously, it started to show its limit when both the dealflow and the portfolio reached a peak that one person could not handle anymore with just an email client and a spreadsheet. So he recruited two associates in 2013 and worked alongside with them to transpose his excel sheet into an in-house software. Kimalab quickly became the operational backbone of Kima Ventures to source and manage the dealflow.
