Vincent Babin accompagne les entreprises innovantes dans leurs levées de fonds, le développement de leur activité et la réalisation d'opérations de croissance externe. Il assiste également les fonds VC et les fonds Corporate Venture dans leurs investissements, la restructuration d'entreprises ou encore les sorties.

Avec les fondateurs, Vincent Babin est impliqué dans chaque étape juridique du développement de la start-up : la constitution de l'équipe fondatrice, les levées de fonds, les acquisitions externes et les potentielles sorties. Il accompagne également les sociétés dans la mise en place de plans d'intéressement de leurs salariés et dans la structuration d'une gouvernance saine.

Cette expérience pratique permet à Vincent Babin de conseiller également les investisseurs avec pragmatisme, et dans l'optique d'une création de valeur au niveau de la cible.

Vincent Babin a maintenu des liens étroits avec l'EDHEC Business School, où il dispense occasionnellement une formation en Venture Capital aux étudiants de LLM. Il assiste également les entrepreneurs de l'école incubés à Station F.
