About the investment strategy
What is the typical size of your initial investment?
None.
Our deal size ranges from seed investments ( < 0, 5 million euros) to late-stage investments.
What percentage of the company do you expect to get?
We invest in both: minority-owned and majority-owned companies.
What is your investment horizon?
Our long term vision means we usually remain invested for several rounds of financing and over a number of years. However, we do not reject short-term opportunities.
Do potential synergies exist between companies in the portfolio?
Yes, such synergies exist and they take place naturally given the strong assets each one of them develops.
Our portfolio companies often have the opportunity to discuss together their growth strategies and share their best practices.
In what way do you help your companies?
We do more than simply sit at a board : we work alongside entrepreneurs on financial operations and strategic projects such as product development, international growth, sourcing, marketing, recruitment of executive directors....
How much have you invested so far?
50 million euros since 2009.
