        • WHEN TO CALL Y VENTURES?

          • We have a broad and successful experience working with French and European startups/scale-ups and SMEs, in a valuation range of € 20-500m. We are usually mandated by Management or Shareholders, to help them raise funds (equity / debt), sell their business or negotiate an out-of-court debt restructuring (conciliation, mandat ad hoc).
          • We are also experienced in helping PE houses or strategic buyers at different stages of their investment/acquisition project. We are most of the time mandated to conduct a preliminary financial review of the target and help prepare a preliminary offer (LOI), or to help structure the full process (M&A mandate). We have worked both on in bonis and distressed targets.

          ESTABLISHED NETWORK OF PARTNERS

          • We work with an established network of trusted professionals (corporate and restructuring lawyers, transaction services advisors, accountants, private investors, senior advisors specialized by industries), in Paris and in Europe, that we can mobilize when needed by our clients.
