What Epopée Gestion does

Épopée Gestion is a French regional investment fund management company (société de gestion de portefeuille) approved by the AMF on October 5, 2020 (registration GP-20000033), headquartered in Guipavas (Brest) with four offices across Brest, Paris, Nantes, and Bordeaux. Founded by Ronan Le Moal and Charles Cabillic, the firm manages €830M in assets under management across 56 financed companies and 52 real estate assets spanning 210,000 m², deploying capital exclusively in the Arc Atlantique region (Brittany, Pays de la Loire, Nouvelle-Aquitaine). The firm operates as a mission-driven enterprise ("Entreprise à mission") under an ESG-T (Environment, Social, Governance, Territory) framework and runs four investment strategies through regulated fund vehicles: Innovation et digital venture capital (FPCI Xplore I/II), PME/ETI transitions private equity (FPCI Épopée Transitions I), sustainable real estate (OPPCI Épopée Immo Rendement I and SLP Épopée Hôtels I), and climate infrastructure (Épopée Infra Climat I SLP), supplemented by Club Deal co-investment and Obligations Relance.

The firm earns revenue primarily through management fees on committed/invested AUM across its fund vehicles, supplemented by carried interest on exits and co-investment returns realized over typical 4-6 year holding periods. Distribution is split between direct institutional sales (institutional investors, family offices, qualified investors) and retail channels via partnerships with Suravenir and Yomoni. A proprietary differentiator is SEIVA (Signal ESG à l'Impact sur la Valorisation), an ESG-to-valuation methodology co-developed with HEC Paris (launched June 2026) that quantifies how ESG performance affects company valuation. The firm maintains an Acceleration team supporting portfolio companies post-investment and has built a regional ecosystem anchored by the West Web Festival, the L'Épopée de podcast, and the Épopée Les 40 ranking (with Deloitte), covering Brittany/Pays de la Loire since 2023 and Nouvelle-Aquitaine since 2024.

The portfolio is diversified across climate and energy transition (SunLib, Greenspot, Qovoltis, EnerVivo, Entech, Guyot Énergies, Nova Carbon), healthtech (DESKi, Simango), mobility (Pony), real estate logistics and industry (Kelias, Albéa, Bodemer, GL Events, Mondial Relay, DPD), sustainable real estate (hotels with Vicartem, offices, industrial), and ESG SaaS (Greenscope). Notable co-investment partners include Arkéa Capital, Crédit Agricole, SWEN Capital Partners, Demeter Investment Managers, Andera Partners, IXO Private Equity, and Breizh-Up, reflecting a strategy of consortium-led deal-making typical of regional mid-market fund managers.

Direct peers

• UI Investissement: French regional multi-strategy investment firm managing capital across regional PE, venture, and growth funds. UI Investissement manages the Breizh-Up regional seed fund and co-invests alongside Épopée Gestion, sharing a similar Brittany/Grand Ouest geographic footprint and multi-strategy platform approach.
• Demeter Investment Managers: French VC/PE manager specialized in ecological and energy transition investments, managing funds across cleantech, smart cities, and mobility. Demeter co-invested with Épopée in Pony (€6M round) and operates a similar thematic, multi-fund structure (seed through growth), making it a direct comparable on the innovation/transition strategy.
• SWEN Capital Partners: Paris-based asset manager focused on ESG, energy transition, and natural capital investments across private equity, infrastructure, and real assets. SWEN co-invested with Épopée in Groupe M53/Mansio, sharing a strong ESG-climate overlay and institutional LP base comparable to Épopée's Infra Climat and Immo Rendement strategies.
• Arkéa Capital: Regional investment arm of Crédit Mutuel Arkéa supporting SMEs and mid-caps in western France, particularly Brittany and the Grand Ouest. Arkéa Capital led The Reefer Group consortium alongside Épopée, sharing Arc Atlantique roots and a similar SME/ETI transitions investment thesis.
• IRDI Capital Investissement: Toulouse-based regional multi-strategy private investment firm managing VC, growth, and transmission funds for the Occitanie region. IRDI is a structural peer: a French regional GP with comparable AUM scale, multi-strategy approach, and reliance on regional LP networks and partnerships.
• Capital Croissance: Lyon-based regional private equity firm investing in French SMEs and mid-caps across Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes. Capital Croissance shares Épopée's regional mid-market transitions strategy, fund structure approach, and reliance on local banking and institutional LP partnerships.

Broad incumbents

• Andera Partners: Larger French private investment firm managing multiple strategies (venture, growth, mezzanine) with several billion euros AUM. Andera co-invested with Épopée in Qovoltis (€45M), making it a broader-incumbent comparable given scale and multi-strategy breadth versus Épopée's regional focus.
• Naxicap Partners: French mid-market private equity firm (€3B+ AUM, subsidiary of Natixis Investment Managers) executing majority and minority LBO and growth investments across France. Naxicap is a broader-incumbent comparable to Épopée's Transitions PME/ETI fund, though operating at significantly larger scale.

Regional players

• Aquiti Gestion: Nouvelle-Aquitaine–focused investment firm supporting regional SMEs and startups. Aquiti co-invested with Épopée in Pony and shares a regional-French LP and co-investor profile, but is more concentrated in a single region versus Épopée's three-region Arc Atlantique footprint.
