Cogepa
Cogepa was established in 1992 by the de Spoelberch family. The family built its capital through the sale of Athéna Assurances and channels investments through the Paris vehicle. Grégoire, Olivier, and Philippe de Spoelberch serve as board members. The firm deploys capital through private equity buyouts, growth equity, and venture capital. It participates in direct co-investments and SPVs. Confirmed holdings include a past stake in Mecatherm, divested in 2006 alongside Astorg Partners and 21 Centrale Partners, and a 2017 Series C investment in Allurion Technologies alongside Romulus Capital and IDO Investments. Geographic reach covers Europe, North America, and parts of the Middle East and Central Asia. The firm also maintains a relationship with Verlinvest, the Belgian investment company run jointly with the De Mevius family. Cogepa operates with an estimated $350 million under management. It maintains no disclosed additional offices beyond its Paris headquarters. The firm has no publicly reported philanthropic vehicles or club memberships tied to its investment activity. In 2017 it participated in the Allurion Technologies round. Cogepa functions as a concentrated single-family office with board oversight limited to family principals. Its structure ties investment decisions directly to the de Spoelberch family without external CIO or multi-client operations.
