Why did we invest?

The Almond group is a French leader in cybersecurity and cloud services. It enjoys strong development perspectives on an attractive market together with solid barriers to entry thanks to the rare expertise of its consultants and numerous certifications. In addition, Almond has enjoyed a remarkable and resilient historical growth.

How do we intend to create value?

Our objective is for Almond to become a European leader in cybersecurity and cloud by supporting its growth, its geographical expansion in France and abroad either organically or through bolt-on acquisitions, the reinforcement of its internal processes and the marketing of its software solutions.

 

Past performance is no guarantee of future performance.
The profitability of portfolio companies is never guaranteed.
