Alix Trébaol

I started my entrepreneurial journey by launching Too Good To Go in the US while studying at Columbia in parallel.

After a couple of years of crazy travels around the US, I joined X-HEC Entrepreneurs and co-founded a project in the field of carbon credits. I met Serena in the process and ended up hopping on the investor side to continue working on my main purpose: bringing impact innovations to life.

As a Senior Associate at Serena with the impact fund Racine² (Serena x makesense), I focus on climate, health, critical industries, and social impact. In less than a year, I worked on 7 investments out of 10 closed and currently serve as Board Observer for 5 portfolio companies, including Lokki and CarbonFarm.

What I love most is being hands-on with founders at pivotal moments: spinning off companies, executing industrial buyouts, and planning acquisitions.

Having lived 10+ years abroad in Costa Rica, the UK, the US, Germany, and Spain, and speaking 5 languages, I’ve naturally gravitated toward expanding Serena’s international footprint. I’ve helped close our first European investments, built a network of 200+ funds (75% outside France), and organized events across London, Helsinki, Berlin, Barcelona, and Lausanne.

Beyond investing, I co-founded the Serena Run Club with Juliette Ast, a global community of 500 founders and investors who run together each month. I’m also a big fan of endurance sports, and am currently training to qualify for the Ironman World Championships in Kona, while raising funds for cystic fibrosis research.
