From Venture Capital to Private Equity

  • The exit landscape for VC-backed startups has undergone a substantial transformation over the past decade, notably thanks to the emerging trend of what we like to call “VC-to-PE deals”. While exits to PE funds made up just 8% of total exits for VC-funded companies between 2006 and 2010, that figure has surged to a whopping 24% for the years 2021 to 2024.

  • This transaction confirms this trend and further shows Clipperton’s expertise in advising tech leaders in their buyout transactions, with recent transactions including  Rydoo’s LBO with Eurazeo, Travelsoft’s LBO with CAPZA, or Braincube’s LBO with Scottish Equity Partners
