Buyout
We invest our own capital in the Small-mid and Mid-large buyout segments to support the transformation efforts of highpotential companies and accelerate their international expansion. We work alongside management teams, helping our investees
to strengthen and scale up in three main ways: through international expansion, digital transformation and acquisitions.
We invest on behalf of Eurazeo and our partner investors, in companies that have solid fundamentals, established positions in promising markets, real growth potential and ambitious management teams.
We favor the life sciences, tech, financial services and consumer goods sectors, in which we have proven, well-known expertise. Our team identifies the best investment opportunities in those sectors and provides unrivaled strategic and operational support to our portfolio companies.
