Private Market Square presents ABENEX Industrie 9.0, ABENEX’s new private equity strategy focused on French industrial SMEs, with a strong emphasis on decarbonization and Industry 4.0. This innovative fund combines financial performance with environmental impact and is now open to private investors via Airfund.

The conversation provides a deeper understanding of the mechanics of early-stage and growth venture capital, as well as Founders Future’s unique approach, which combines financial support with operational guidance to maximize value creation in innovative companies.

The discussion provides a clear understanding of private debt funds, how they operate, the different types of financing (mezzanine, unitranche, flex equity), and their essential role in financing French SMEs. The goal of this episode is to provide an educational perspective on alternative financing strategies and the role of private debt funds in portfolio diversification, while incorporating an Article 9 ESG approach for positive environmental and social impact.
