Nextstage Am

NextStage AM is an independent asset management company based in Paris and approved by the AMF in 2002. From the outset, NextStage AM has cultivated an “entrepreneur-investor” philosophy as a pioneer and leader of innovative and patient development capital in France. NextStage AM has taken a stepwise approach, building up a multi-strategy private equity platform representing total AuM of close to €7 billion, directly and indirectly. NextStage AM invests in a limited number of innovative and growth-driven mid-market companies (77 portfolio companies as of 31/12/2021) in France and Europe, to which it brings entrepreneurial expertise as an investor and strong operational support (innovation, talent, international, external growth). NextStage AM provides long-term support of these Mid-sized Businesses (MSBs), which may be unlisted, or listed on Alternext and Euronext B and C. NextStage AM offers these businesses the means to accelerate their development and innovation capabilities to become “champions” in their markets, both in France and internationally, through organic and/or external growth. In December 2015, NextStage AM received a Gold Award for “best development capital player in Europe” at the Private Equity Awards. In 2017, NextStage Croissance won the Active Innovation Jury’s “special prize”; and in 2019, NextStage AM was awarded the Editor's Prize in the Private Equity category of the 2019 & 2021 Wealth Management Pyramids.
