The Clipperton runners turned 10 kilometers into meaningful impact.🩵 Two weeks ago, Clipperton hit the streets of Paris for the Adidas 10K – and the energy was incredible!

Thanks to our runners, we’ve helped make an impact on children’s language development - because every word matters. #Clipperton #Adidas10K #1001mots #Runningforacause

In our latest column, our co-founders, Nicolas von Bülow and Stephane Valorge, outline a roadmap for Europe to build its own foundational tech infrastructure - from cloud platforms to AI processors - and to attract the talent needed to make it happen. The good news? Europe has the assets to succeed. The challenge? Coordination, ambition, and speed.

Preparing for a Private Equity exit requires a different playbook. To successfully transition from VC to PE, tech companies must: ✅ Emphasize Management Quality ✅ Prioritize Profitability ✅ Actively pursue external growth opportunities ✅ Track KPIs With LBOs now accounting for 25% of VC exits in Europe, and over 80% of exits of VC-backed software companies in France (enterprise value >€50 million) involving PE, it’s become critical for founders to understand how PE investors evaluate companies. Our VC-to-PE 2025 guide offers actionable insights for founders considering this increasingly common path. 🔗 Read the full guide: https://lnkd.in/ezDmKj29 #clipperton #techinvestmentbanking #vctope
