Elige Capital

About The Fund

Elige Capital is an investment firm specializing in equity and technology sectors. Established in 2015 and based in Paris, France, Elige Capital deploys its expertise and capital to invest in Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) across various industries. The firm demonstrates a deep commitment to value creation by investing in both full and partial transmission operations, as well as financing development initiatives. They are open to taking either minority or majority shareholder positions, crafting 'tailor-made' investment structures to suit the unique needs of the businesses they support. Elige Capital predicates its investment strategy on three main pillars: human capital, where the emphasis is placed primarily on the people leading companies and their development plans; active capital, which involves actively supporting managers to accelerate company growth and overcome structural and growth milestones; and agile capital, providing support with the same flexibility that the SMEs demonstrate in their development. The foundation of their approach lies in the richness of human capital — prioritizing investment decisions based on the quality of management teams and their growth projects. The team at Elige Capital is composed of experienced investors who have been supporting SMEs in capital transitions and development for over two decades. They strive to maintain close and trust-based relationships with all stakeholders involved, ensuring a mutual interest alignment. Elige Capital's investors include both private entrepreneurs and institutional investors. The private entrepreneurial investors within Elige offer substantial networks, skills, and experience to the portfolio companies’ managers, available upon request, without interfering in day-to-day management. This support is bolstered by their institutional investors, who are experts in funding SMEs. Elige is interested in ambitious growth projects within the sectors of industrial equipment, aerospace, energy, and defense, as exemplified by their investment in Ameca, and they also support the dynamic market of transition management as shown by their venture with Reactive Executive. Elige’s investment reach, while focusing on human-led quality, does not restrict itself to specific sectors, reflecting their belief in the underlying value of human capital in business success.
