Serena
Serena is a Paris-based European venture capital firm founded in 2008 by Xavier Lorphelin, Marc Fournier and Philippe Hayat, investing in Europe-based founders from pre-seed through Series A with initial tickets ranging from EUR 100K to EUR 15M. The firm closed its EUR 200M Fund IV in 2026, bringing total assets under management to over EUR 1 billion, and concentrates on applied AI, the modern data stack and AI infrastructure, SaaS, climate tech and the energy transition, commercial open source, blockchain, quantum, consumer innovation and impact. Serena describes itself as "by entrepreneurs for entrepreneurs" and pairs capital with an in-house operating team (Capital Boost), a dedicated data-focused arm in Serena Data Ventures, and the Racine squared impact and deep-tech vehicle. Its published portfolio of 113 companies includes Dataiku, Memo Bank, Descartes Underwriting, Mindee, Probabl, ACINQ, Brigad and Evaneos, alongside exits such as LaFourchette/The Fork to TripAdvisor, AramisAuto to PSA, PrestaShop to MBE Worldwide, iBanFirst to Marlin Equity Partners, Alkemics to Salsify, Hull to MessageBird, Koyeb and Emmi AI to Mistral, Leonardo.ai to Canva, Shadow to OVH, and the NYSE IPO of Sequans. The firm also publishes an unusually deep public research library, including the French AI Report, the Serena European SaaS Benchmark and the Commercial Open Source Software (COSS) Report. This profile tracks Serena's identity and its portfolio graph across the API Evangelist network.
Serena is tracked in the API Evangelist network. This page is the human-readable profile that sits on top of the machine-readable index we maintain at apis.io.
Every provider in the network is reduced to the same set of machine-readable artifacts — OpenAPI contracts, event specifications, GraphQL schemas, runnable collections, pricing and rate-limit signals, security posture, OAuth scopes, and the agent surfaces (MCP servers and skills) that let software drive the API on its own. We profile them because the interface is the part of a company you can actually inspect: it is a truer signal of what a provider does than any marketing page. The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.
Serena is in the network as a tracked entity. We haven't yet indexed a public API surface for it — when one is published, the artifacts, score, and agent-readiness read will appear here automatically. The source repository is where that profile is built.

This is an independent, third-party profile of Serena, published by API Evangelist. We do not operate, host, resell, or support these APIs, and we are not affiliated with or endorsed by the company unless stated above. Everything here is built from publicly available information — the company's own site, developer portal, documentation, public repositories, and the specifications it publishes for public use. Nothing is obtained by breaching a system, defeating an access control, or using credentials.
The Kin Score and Agent Readiness rating are independently calculated assessments of a company's public API artifacts, scored against a published rubric. They are not certifications, endorsements, security assessments, or audits.
Corrections, re-scores, and removal are free — no partnership or purchase required, and you do not need to justify the request. A removed company is recorded as unrated, never scored zero for having asked. Acknowledgement within one business day; removal within two.
