They talk about us

“These are rare people who know how to bridge the gap between the worlds of finance and business. They are able to provide the necessary expertise. They have experience and are deeply committed to the company. They listened and were able to provide us with support. That stems from their personality, their intelligence and their experience. It felt like we were partners and I never felt like they were my “bosses”. They know how to make things happen without applying unhealthy levels of pressure. They trusted me and were present without being overbearing.” 

Alain Tanguy, Chairman of Résilians

“The Vespa team is good, constructive and intelligent. What makes Vespa Capital stand out: they are pragmatic and they work collaboratively, for the common good. The key challenge is listening to the needs of the company and they know how to do that. The separation of roles at Vespa Capital is clear and they are responsive.” 

Gil Guibert, former manager of ATI

“The Vespa Capital team is discreet and effective. The team provides support on a day-to-day basis from an external perspective and offers another way of looking at issues. They help to provide structure. They have considerable experience and have helped me with hiring employees who I would not have hired on my own.” 

Salim Sekkat, Chairman of Capitole

“The Vespa team has the ability to develop long-term relationships and what I like is the way they work closely with companies. They are entrepreneurs. I am very satisfied with my investments and I am kept very well informed. The quality of the team is high. The team is very responsive when we have a question.” 

Michel Soutiran, investor

“After working with them, you have nothing but good memories. Human values are at the heart of their work; I was under their authority and I was very happy. They are structuring experts and are keen to support entrepreneurs. I recommend them unconditionally–they are honest and are inspirational. I have nothing but good memories.” 

Luc Resslen, Chairman of SDS
