Our DNA

Investing is committing

Beyond our investment experience, it is our steadfast dedication to both our investments and our clients that makes our strength.

A 25-year Track Record

Established in 2002 as part of a banking group, Sparring Capital swiftly gained independence and successfully raised multiple buyout funds from prominent French and international investors. In 2015, the company was acquired by its current management team.

In 2022, Sparring Capital introduced a new “Growth” strategy alongside its established “Transmission” approach. This new initiative is spearheaded by Pechel (*), a Sparring Capital subsidiary acquired in 2021.

Since its founding, Sparring Capital has invested in nearly seventy companies and facilitated over eighty external growth transactions.
