About Sénevé Capital

Sénevé Capital is a Paris-based mid-cap private equity firm formally launched in 2017 by Louis de Lestanville, Jean de Sampigny and François Guérault (previously partners at Argos Expansion since 2010), with €100 million of evergreen capital under management. The firm deploys across French SMEs and ETIs in B2B and selectively other French mid-market verticals.

Investment thesis

Sénevé Capital targets French SMEs and ETIs in B2B verticals, deploying evergreen capital across majority and significant minority equity positions held without traditional fund duration constraints. Sector focus spans Industrials and selectively other French B2B verticals, with the founding team's Argos Expansion heritage providing multi-decade French mid-market pattern recognition. Equity ticket sizes are aligned with the lower mid-market mandate.

Recent activity

Recent realised exits include FRANCE ELEVATEUR (industrials, 2025), reflecting selective distribution across the French SME portfolio. The platform tracks a single evergreen vehicle, 6 active portfolio companies and 3 realised exits across the multi-vintage French B2B programme. Detailed buyer names and multiple data available on Pro at €29/month.
