Private equity fund manager for French SMEs and hospitality assets
Sparring Opportunities is an AMF-regulated fund manager deploying €3–8M tickets into French mid-market companies and hotels.

Sparring Opportunities manages thematic funds on behalf of sophisticated investors (high-net-worth individuals, family offices, institutional investors). The core fund targets French SMEs in Environmental Transition, Industrial Sovereignty, and Sustainable Society, with check sizes between €3M and €8M for majority or minority positions, carve-outs, and growth rounds. A second fund focused on mid-market hotel acquisition and urban repositioning is in active development. The firm operates from Paris with a lean team and recent hiring in the US.
