La Maison Compagnie d'Investissement
Founded and headquartered in Luxembourg, La Maison Compagnie d'Investissement is a private equity manager that concentrates on growth-stage and late-stage expansion investments. The firm structures its primary activity around direct co-investments, stepping into deals alongside established financial sponsors rather than leading rounds or competing for proprietary origination. The strategy spans multiple stages, targeting both expansion and late-stage opportunities in European companies seeking growth capital. The co-investment model limits the firm's need for large origination teams; instead, it relies on access to sponsor-led transactions. Asset class focus remains equity-oriented, with no public record of debt, real asset, or fund-of-funds activity. Operating from a single office in Luxembourg, the firm maintains a deliberately compact structure. No additional offices, spin-out vehicles, or affiliated foundations are publicly recorded. The firm has not disclosed its deployment volume, fund size, or professional headcount. La Maison Compagnie d'Investissement's structural differentiator is its pure co-investment posture — a model that reduces blind-pool risk for underlying investors by providing line-of-sight into each portfolio company before capital is committed. Its Luxembourg domicile also positions it within a regulatory framework favored by European institutional limited partners.

Frequently asked questions
How is La Maison owned and governed?
La Maison was founded and is controlled by a private club of industrial families alongside Michel Cicurel, who serves as chairman of the management board. The firm maintains a dual governance structure with an executive management board and a supervisory board that includes family representatives and strategic advisors. This ownership model gives La Maison permanent capital, distinct from a traditional closed-end fund manager.
What does La Maison invest in?
The firm operates across three lanes: direct venture capital for early-stage and late-stage tech companies, direct growth and buyout equity for expansion-stage mid-market companies, and a fund-of-funds program that backs niche private equity and venture managers. Confirmed portfolio companies include Bridewell in cybersecurity, OrganOx in digital health, and Via in mobility.
Who runs day-to-day investment decisions?
Michel Cicurel holds the title of président du directoire and remains the group's founder and senior decision-maker. Amélie Finaz, who joined in 2022 and was elevated to executive president in 2024, leads the investment team and deal execution. The firm also relies on senior advisors such as Marc Lévy and Coralie Amar Shabi, but Cicurel and Finaz are the named executive officers.
Is La Maison a single family office?
No. Although it describes itself as a 'club of family shareholders,' La Maison invests capital from multiple families and institutional partners, not a single family. Its structure is closer to a multi-family private investment firm or a hybrid asset manager with permanent capital from its family backers.
Where does La Maison's deal flow come from?
The firm credits its deal flow to the industrial and financial networks of its family shareholders and senior team, many of whom previously held senior roles at Edmond de Rothschild, Tikehau Capital, and Bpifrance. Team members describe this access as a key sourcing advantage, particularly for off-market and pre-emptive processes in France and neighboring European markets.
Does La Maison raise external funds?
La Maison does not publicly disclose whether it raises committed capital from third-party LPs. Its known structure suggests it invests from a balance sheet funded by its family shareholders and, where applicable, institutional co-investors on a deal-by-deal basis. Its fund-of-funds activity implies some external fund selection capacity.
What is La Maison NextGen?
La Maison NextGen is the firm's early-stage investment initiative, established in 2021. Adrien Dassault, deputy CEO of Tikehau Capital, chairs its investment committee. It focuses on venture and early-growth technology opportunities, leveraging the networks of younger-generation family members and outside industrial backers.
