Benjamin Vedrenne-Cloquet and Régis
Micheli, two experienced French entrepreneurs and investors, are
proud to announce the launch of the JuneX Capital Partners’
(“JuneX”) “Founders Office,” a new investment company focused on
backing entrepreneurs within the human capital and investment
management sectors.
The “Founders Office” at JuneX is an
innovative founder-centric approach that combines the
long-term perspective of a family office, the entrepreneurial
mindset and agility of a business angel, and the investment
capability of a pan-European institutional fund.
On April
19th, JuneX
Capital Partners successfully closed the
“JuneX Evergreen Fund,” a
100-million-euro evergreen fund to initiate its investments
programme across Europe. The fund is already active with
investments in education and asset management companies in France,
the UK and the DACH markets.
Childhood friends Régis Micheli and Benjamin
Vedrenne-Cloquet, who first met 32 years ago, in secondary school
in Lyon, France, have combined their assets and extensive
entrepreneurial experiences from the tech, education and investment
industries to launch JuneX. Their new firm will invest its capital,
networks and industry expertise to back entrepreneurs, emerging
GPs, and innovative asset managers.
JuneX has strategically chosen to focus its
investments on backing two types of entrepreneurs, both fundamental
to innovation and sustainable economic development:
- Entrepreneurs
enhancing human capital: “Human Capital” is defined by economists
as the education, knowledge, skills, health and environmental
investments made by individuals and organisations to enhance their
abilities, productivity and well-being, which in turn promotes
economic and social development.
- Entrepreneurs in
investment management: Specialising in venture capital and private
equity. This targets specifically emerging asset managers and
financial sponsors seeking capital to back innovative companies,
seed their first investments or scale their asset management firm
(GP stakes).
Unlike most funds, JuneX offers a flexible
investment approach, not restricted by the usual limitations
related to time horizon, investment stage, or structural
constraints. Therefore, it can invest across the entire capital
structure as a lead investor, co-investor or operating partner.
JuneX supports businesses and investment firms,
from start-ups and emerging sponsors to scale-ups and established
asset managers. It offers various “patient capital” solutions,
including equity, debt and bridge financings, tailored to meet
specific founders’ needs and the complex circumstances they
inevitably face during their entrepreneurial journey. In specific
situations when JuneX possesses relevant industry
experience or functional expertise, it may selectively act as a
“sparring partner” and work closely with founders.
Régis Micheli and Benjamin Vedrenne-Cloquet,
co-founders of JuneX, stated:
“We are proud to launch JuneX Capital Partners,
our “Founders Office”, along with our debut investment fund,
JuneX Evergreen Fund. Our platform is specially
designed for founders, inspired by our own rollercoaster journey as
entrepreneurs and investors, as well as challenges we tackled.
Unlike most investment firms, our approach is not restricted by
time horizon, investment stage and structural constraints. We are
here to play the long game with patient and agile capital solutions
for founders and to provide them with street-smart and genuine
support, as peers and sparring partners. We aim to back challengers
in Human Capital and Investment
Management, two sectors fundamental to sustainability,
innovation, and entrepreneurship.”
