About
NextStage AM is a leading French independent investment firm that pioneered the "Growth Equity" (Capital-Développement) model in France. Founded in 2002 by Grégoire Sentilhes, the firm defines itself as a long-term "entrepreneur-investor" partner. Unlike traditional private equity firms driven by leverage (LBO), NextStage AM primarily provides patient equity capital to help proven French SMEs (PME) and Mid-Caps (ETI) accelerate their growth, digitize their business models, and expand internationally. The firm manages a multi-strategy platform and is notably known for its listed investment vehicle (NextStage) which offers liquidity to portfolio companies without a fixed exit horizon.
