Groupe Prunay is a French family-owned operating and investment holding group founded in1993 by PatrickWeil and based at Château dePrunay inLouveciennes. It grew through insurance-claims services, construction-insurance management and business acquisitions, then diversified into building engineering, corporate venture investment and property. Its own history records the sale of Eurisk in2015 and Eurexo in2020; those historical subsidiaries are not assumed to remain current portfolio holdings. The current legal corporation is GROUPEPRUNAY, SIREN392372397, registered inVersailles at19Chemin dePrunay,78430Louveciennes. Primary BODACC notices published January27,2026 identify the current SAS form and officers PatrickWeil(President) and CécileGérard(GeneralDirector); July2026 notices confirm the same entity and SAS form. Older own Château legal text still calls it GroupePrunaySA and spells the townVersailles; the current official legal notices supply the correct form and seat, without creating a second firm. Earlier SA board-director lists are historical and do not establish a current board after the SAS change. Its corporate investment programme backs high-growth companies for the long term. Actual AI/deeptech exposure is established by participation in DeepLife’s completed USD10MSeriesA announced December2024, financing AI-powered digitaltwins of human cells and drug-discovery infrastructure. The issuer names GroupePrunay as a participant, not a co-lead; its individual ticket and exact cash-subscribing subsidiary are not published. The whole10M is the company’s syndicate financing, notPrunay’s check or an externallyraised Prunayfund. Its current ownsite publishes an authentic founder/president portrait and an anonymous group photo, but not a named complete staff directory. Only the two source-confirmed current corporate officers are included in this scoped public leadership profile; private team members are not identified from faces or social employee-association lists. CécileGérard’s authentic portrait remains unverified and no groupphoto crop is invented. The website advertises venturecapital and links recruitment to CastleStudio; a studio-brand relationship alone does not establish an independent legal subscriber or justify transferring employees/financing to the parent. No external LP fund, fixed investment budget, committed capital, AUM or completed corporate equity raise is established by ownprimarysources. Registered nominalshare capital and business-sale proceeds are not fundraising. A primary BPCE2010 annual report mentions an arranged EUR12MOBSAR convertible-bond transaction for the group, but does not publish a cashclosing day, subscribing buyers or paid proceeds here; it remains qualified corporate financing research rather than an assumed current VCfund. Transaction-adviser Cambon independently confirms an earlier Prunay investment in Unkle, while secondary claims of broadAfrican mandates or many unrelatedtechholdings are not accepted as company portfolio proof.
