What Mircap Partners does

Mircap Partners is an independent, AMF-registered (Agreement n°GP-202224) French investment management company (SAS) founded in November 2022 by Michele Mezzarobba and François Pinel de Golleville, both former Rothschild & Co executives with 20+ years of finance experience. The firm is headquartered in Paris with offices in Luxembourg and Milan, and operates with 15+ staff including 7 investment professionals; capital is held entirely by the team, making the firm 100% independent.

The company's core offering is a Private Equity platform built around four product lines: vintage co-investment funds (Mircap Opportunities I and II, with €100M+ and €126M+ raised respectively), primary investments in exclusive PE funds, direct co-investments on a deal-by-deal basis, and tailor-made managed accounts. A newer Mircap Selection (MSE) strategy led by Director Cesare Sasso broadens the platform. The investment approach combines a "double selection" process (pre-screening by lead co-shareholders then by Mircap), rapid deployment into 5-8 unlisted companies per vintage, fees charged only on invested capital to reduce the J-curve, and ESG integration. The firm targets (multi-)Family Offices, Private Investors, Private Banks and Institutions across Europe and the United States, with all investor engagement handled direct (no intermediaries).

Mircap Partners monetises through management fees on committed or invested capital and carried interest on investment returns, standard PE fund economics. The investment team carries over from their pre-Mircap track record of 40+ realized exits since 2005, with a stated 30%+ IRR and 2.7x average multiple on invested capital, which underpins LP fundraising. Distribution is exclusively direct institutional sales supported by a corporate website, LinkedIn presence, press releases, and a dedicated investor portal (portal.domosfs.com).
