🚀 Partner for the 3rd Year of the 9th Congress Entreprise DU FUTUR bringing together + 700 companies GEREJE Corporate Finance organized & hosted a master class on its favorite theme: “Transforming SMEs into MIDCAP : boosting its growth through a “BUILD-UP” and “digital transformation” strategy!

Thanks to our speakers, 3 passionate and exciting entrepreneurs, who shared their experiences on growth challenges:
1️⃣ Philippe-Henri Mangeard founder and CEO of Global Climate Initiatives, “CLIMATE-TECH” – optimization of the “Bilan Carbone®”: “In order to ensure the financing of G.C.I.’s ultra-growth, it seems necessary to open up my capital and welcome “smart investors” who believe in and participate in the success of the project!


Fabrice LOMBARDO “The cost of the capital raising operation and the dilution are insignificant compared to the creation of equity value”!


2️⃣ Olivier Depardieu CEO of Sinfony, “ED-TECH” – mandatory B2B training platform: “Being accompanied by a professional to optimize your financing (equity/debt) is essential in order to be able to stay focused on the company’s performance”.

Fabrice LOMBARDO “The performance (or even outperformance) of the company during the negotiation period with investors is crucial to optimize the chances of closing and maximize valuation.”


3️⃣ Alexandre HEUZÉ founder and CEO of Duchêne Industries: “The ideal acquisition seemed impossible to me but we finally managed to secure the operation”!

Fabrice LOMBARDO “This international build-up offers a new dimension to the group, a new dimension for the teams and creates equity value (the higher the EBITDA, the higher the valuation multiple)!”

VERDICT 💡  : the real risk is to do nothing! 🚀 You need projects to federate 🤝 + motivate 🤩 + create value for your teams and customers.

Beyond the obvious need to perform, a growth project is also a human adventure!
