About Aquasourca

Aquasourça is a family-owned French investment company with €200 million of assets under management, active in private equity and real estate with permanent capital. Founded approximately 20 years ago in Lyon, the platform focuses on supporting small-cap companies in France and Europe through two small-cap investment strategies aligned with the family's multi-generational entrepreneurial heritage.

Investment thesis

Aquasourça targets European small-cap companies across two complementary strategies: private equity (small-cap LBO and growth equity) and real estate (selective property positions). The permanent family capital structure enables long-duration positions unconstrained by traditional fund cycles, with the small-cap focus distinguishing Aquasourça from generalist mid-cap French peers. Equity ticket sizes are aligned with the small-cap mandate.
