Bio

Thomas France is a Co-Founder of Cygni Capital and a Co-Founder and former Vice President of Business Development of Ledger, the hardware wallet and digital asset security company. France was part of Ledger's founding team — which Ledger's own history identifies as eight entrepreneurs — and played a central role in the company's early business development, partnership-building and international go-to-market strategy.

Ledger's historical announcements identify France as VP Business Development during the company's growth phase, including the period of its €75 million Series B fundraise and international expansion. He also joined Ledger following the acquisition of Criteo's COO, which Ledger's own announcement noted at the time. His commercial and partnership expertise contributed to Ledger's expansion into consumer and enterprise markets.

France's current primary professional focus is Cygni Capital, a crypto-focused venture firm where he serves as co-founder. His title at Cygni Capital should be verified from the firm's current official sources at publication time. His current involvement with Ledger, if any, should similarly be verified from a fresh Ledger or company-filing source rather than assumed from 2017–2018 announcements. Information last checked: August 2026.
