Venture fund Plural has a new co-owner

 Estonian-founded venture capital fund Plural has a new co-owner. Pierre-Dimitri Gore-Coty, former senior vice president of delivery at Uber, will join the company as a permanent partner in Paris, where Plural is opening its first office in France.

Pierre-Dimitri Gore-Coty worked at Uber for 13 years and turned Delivery from a loss-making business in 2020 into a GMV business worth ~$90 billion. He is also an active business angel with an impressive track record, including early investments in Helsing, and has been working with Plural for the past few years. 

Founded in 2022 by Estonian entrepreneurs Sten Tamkivi, Taavet Hinrikus, Ian Hogarth, and Khaled Helioui, Plural focuses on leading early-stage rounds between €1M and €10M. In 2023, a new partner, AI-driven biotech HelixNano founder, and VC investor Carina Namih joined Plural. The fund has its own rule that requires all of Plural's partners to make personal co-investments in the deals they lead.
