For us, Racines Investissements means «deep principles». We envisage a prosperous future based on the values of freedom. We believe in the economic future of France and Europe by creating and investing in bold French companies.

As an investor-entrepreneur, sustainable value creation is based on high standards, a long-term vision and operational control. Just like our roots, which are often discreet but deeply rooted, our mission is to nurture and support solid investment platforms.

Our vision

Evergreen capital, with no funds or timetable constraints. Investor-entrepreneur at the service of the founders. Sustainable, long-term value creation.

Our involvement

Majority shareholding. Strategic and financial structuring. Implementation of processes, tools and governance. Commercial and operational acceleration. Routine support alongside management.
