]]> Our Partner Olivier Combaudou recently shared his insights with Maddyness on the structural shift within the European tech ecosystem: the rise of Private Equity.

Between 2006 and 2010, only 8% of tech deals involved PE funds. Today, that figure has reached 80% for deals over €50M. Olivier discusses why SaaS maturity and the search for operational performance are redefining exit strategies for founders and VCs alike.

]]> Private Equity is reshaping the Office of the CFO software market – and Europe is at the centre of the action.

In a piece by our Executive Director Vanessa Sorel for Les Echos Capital Finance, we explore why PE sponsors are increasingly targeting CFO software platforms, and what makes this €70bn market so attractive for build-up strategies:

→ Recurring revenues, high stickiness, and net retention rates often above 100%
→ A highly fragmented European landscape – 60+ accounting solutions across the continent – ripe for consolidation
→ Regulatory tailwinds (ViDA e-invoicing mandates) accelerating digital adoption
→ AI reinforcing incumbents’ moats rather than disrupting them

Our Executive Director Vanessa Sorel appeared as a special guest at the Dealmakers Show hosted by Décideurs Corporate Finance. In the interview, she discussed the industry’s outlook and highlighted the collaborative partnerships with the companies and funds Clipperton provides guidance to.

Some key takeaways:
🎯 Growth is no longer enough, viable unit economics or profitability is required
💎 Clear-cut market polarisation for quality assets, i.e. assets that are well above the “Rule of 40” or are in buoyant sectors (Cybersecurity, ESG, Health,…), compared with a more cautious approach for other assets
💡 Learning and adapting  -> Back to a more standardized valuation environment -> Need to adapt deal structuring to bridge the gap
