Yotta Capital Partners

What Yotta Capital Partners does

Yotta Capital Partners is a Paris-based French private equity firm, structured as a Société par Actions Simplifiée and registered with the Autorité des Marchés Financiers (AMF) under registration number GP-19000035. Founded in 2010, the firm invests exclusively in French industrial SMEs (with a recent German extension via SAX Power), targeting equity tickets of €5 million to €15 million for minority or majority stakes in companies providing technological solutions for manufacturing or industrial operators pursuing carbon-efficient transformation. Its stated purpose is financing and supporting the economic and social performance of French industrial SMEs while promoting the reduction of carbon emissions, with decarbonization embedded as a condition of investment.

The firm operates through fund vehicles, with the most recent being Yotta Sustainable Industries II — a €200 million-target fund with €125 million committed as of January 2026. Yotta's portfolio spans medical furniture (Villard), custom industrial furnaces (AET Technologies), semiconductor automation equipment (Recif Technologies), solid-state semiconductor circuit breakers (AlpSemi), integrated photonics for AI infrastructure (Scintil Photonics), energy storage (SAX Power), and bio-based paint binders (Ecoat). The firm differentiates itself from generalist French PE by integrating an in-house ESG and carbon-footprint methodology, publishing Article 29 LEC climate reports, complying with SFDR, and holding the Label Relance as well as UN PRI signatory status.

Yotta's go-to-market is relationship-driven: it sources deals directly through outreach to founders and management teams and distributes capital via negotiated equity investments, frequently syndicated with French institutional partners including BNP Paribas Développement, Crédit Agricole, Bpifrance, Ouest Croissance and UNEXO. Marketing channels are minimal, centered on a LinkedIn corporate page, direct email ([email protected]), and press releases. The firm is led by founders Pierre Dejoux and Christophe Gégout and managing partner Vincent Deltrieu, with a small team of 1-10 employees based at 20 rue Royale, 75008 Paris.

Direct peers

• Demeter Partners: Paris-based VC/PE firm investing across cleantech, energy transition, and sustainable industry across Europe. Directly comparable to Yotta as a French climate-and-industrial investor providing both capital and operational support to growth-stage companies.
• Mirova Natural Capital: Mirova's natural capital and private equity impact funds invest in sustainable land use, circular economy, and climate solutions. Overlaps with Yotta on bio-based materials (Ecoat) and circular economy themes from a French/European base.
• Asterion Industrial Partners: European industrial-focused PE firm investing in mid-market industrial companies. Comparable to Yotta in its industrial SME focus and European footprint, though with broader geographic and sector mandate.
• Seventure Partners: Paris-based VC/PE firm with dedicated sustainability, health, and digital funds. Direct peer for French mid-market sustainability investments and an active participant in the same co-investor ecosystem.

Broad incumbents

• Eurazeo: Major French-listed PE firm with dedicated decarbonization strategies and a strong industrial SME portfolio. Much larger and more diversified than Yotta, but competes directly for French industrial decarbonization deals.
• Ardian: Large European PE firm with sustainability-linked funds and significant French industrial exposure. Competes with Yotta for mid-market industrial assets while operating across a far broader mandate.
• Bpifrance (Private Equity division): France's state-owned development bank with extensive PE operations in French industrial SMEs and deep-tech. Both a co-investor alongside Yotta and a competitor for the same French industrial deal pipeline.

Regional players

• Cycle Capital: Canadian cleantech VC/PE firm investing across North America and Europe in climate solutions. Comparable thematic focus on industrial decarbonization but operates primarily in North American markets.

Emerging players

• Energy Impact Partners (EIP): Global climate-tech investment platform backed by utilities and corporates. Comparable as a thematic climate investor with LP and co-investor networks, though primarily focused on energy rather than industrial decarbonization.
• 2150 (formerly Urban Future): European VC firm investing in climate-tech and sustainable urban solutions. Comparable thematic alignment and European footprint, though operating at venture rather than buyout scale.
