Investment Thesis

Elevation Capital Partners (société de gestion du Groupe Inter Invest) deploys a multi-strategy private markets approach designed to both open private equity to private investors and to actively create value in portfolio companies. The firm structures and distributes a range of investment vehicles (FPCI, FIP, FCPR, SCPI, funds of funds, secondaries, club-deals and direct minority stakes) and emphasizes late‑stage / small & midcap investments in France and Europe, thematic vehicles (Food & Beverage, Defense), secondary fund exposure and Outre‑mer real‑estate. It explicitly combines financial capital with operational and strategic support to management: “Nous accompagnons les dirigeants que nous soutenons au-delà de l’aspect financier, en apportant expertise stratégique et proximité opérationnelle pour accélérer leur développement.”

The firm targets measurable, repeatable returns via disciplined selection (rigorous filtering: e.g. >600 opportunities screened for Food Invest), diversified multi-vehicle portfolios, tax-efficient structures (apport‑cession eligibility) and partnerships with sector specialists (FoodXpert, IAC Partners, Inovista, advisory committees). It also pursues democratization of private markets by designing retail‑facing and life‑insurance wrappers and by smoothing cash calls (programmed calls) to improve investor access and liquidity visibility.
