TOURRETTE INVESTISSEMENTS

OUR VISION

Over the last few years, the venture capital has proven to be a key element for the growth of small and medium sized companies. By bringing the required equity to companies at various stages of their life the venture capital fuels the development of a firm. Up until recently, the West of France did not have its own local venture capitalist. Local entrepreneurs were therefore forced to go to national or international players. Usually such players are only interested in large projects. With this vision of the market in mind, Philippe Tourrette decided in 2004 to create TOURRETTE INVESTISSEMENTS. Our company does provide an easy access to a local venture capital to entrepreneurs in our region, the West of France. Our main target zone encompasses the Bordeaux and Nantes areas and the Atlantic coast in-between those two cities. We are headquartered in La Rochelle.

OUR FINANCIAL STRENGHT

Our share capital amounts to €19 millions. Thanks to our wise investments, our shareholders’ equity is already worth €23 millions. As of the end of December 2007, we had €15 millions of cash available. This financial strength enables us to invest with a remarkably short decision process.
