Founded in 2006 by Charles BEIGBEDER, AUDACIA is an entrepreneurial private equity firm specializing in equity financing for SMEs. It supports entrepreneurs in their innovation and growth projects.

With nearly €400 million in assets under management, AUDACIA structures investment solutions in development capital, real estate capital and innovation capital for individual and institutional investors, enabling them to access high-yield asset classes (hyper-growth start-ups, transformation of SMEs into ETIs, coliving real estate residences, etc.). It also responds to their wealth and tax issues (holding companies, FCPR Life Insurance, 150-0 B ter).

AUDACIA’s expertise, combined with the launch of thematic funds adapted to new consumer habits (bio-transition of food, coliving) and innovative technologies (quantum, space, new nuclear power), will allow it to reach its objective of €1 billion in assets under management by 2025.

ATOUT CAPITAL advised AUDACIA for its listing on EURONEXT GROWTH (ISIN: FR00140059B5 – Mnemo: ALAUD), enabling it to raise €7.4 million after exercising the extension clause and partially exercising the over-allotment option, which brings its market capitalization to €32.1 million. This transaction will allow AUDACIA to develop its reputation and provide existing and future funds with financial resources to accelerate their deployment.

A major innovation aimed at sharing the performance of the various investment vehicles, enabling AUDACIA’s shareholders to benefit from the performance fee and up to 50% of the carried-interest of the funds. The listing will also enable the shareholders to obtain the beginnings of liquidity in the medium term by entering a gradual process of expanding the free float.
