We structure

Each transaction in a dedicated vehicle, documented and monitored through to the liquidity event.

Dedicated vehicle
The segment

Why late-stage attracts the most selective investors.

01

Companies staying private for longer.

Major technology companies are delaying their listing. Valuation grows outside public markets: direct access before the IPO becomes a structural advantage for informed investors.

02

Early shareholders seeking liquidity.

Early employees, seed funds and business angels look for a partial exit before the IPO. These sales create a window for access on directly negotiated terms, without intermediaries.

03

A position between private and public value.

Late-stage allows entry after technology risk has been resolved, and before public markets fully value the company. That differential is what we seek to capture.

The market shift

Value is now created before listing.

Historically, most value creation happened on public markets. Today it is captured during the private phase. Avenor operates precisely in that late-stage window, just before liquidity.

Our method

Five steps, from origination to liquidity.

01
Origination

Source the positions

Identification of secondary positions from existing shareholders through a direct proprietary network, without intermediary platforms.

02
Selection

Filter with rigour

Analysis of fundamentals, cap table, associated rights and visibility on the liquidity event. Only the most solid opportunities are retained.

03
Structuring

Frame each transaction

Formation of a dedicated vehicle (SPV), definition of terms, legal and tax treatment, complete documentation provided to qualified investors.

04
Alignment

Invest alongside you

The partners co-invest in every transaction on the same terms.

05
Monitoring

Support through to exit

Regular reporting on the underlying company, management of liquidity events, organisation of exit windows according to secondary market conditions.

Our difference

Three non-negotiable principles.

01

Proprietary origination

No platforms, no chains of brokers. A direct network, built transaction by transaction, with shareholders who choose to work with us.

02

Genuine alignment

We co-invest in every transaction, on the same terms as you. Our compensation is tied to your performance. If a deal is not good enough for our own capital, it is not presented to you.

03

Restrained structuring

Complete memorandum, dedicated vehicle, monitoring through to exit. No blind pool. Full visibility on every position.

Comparison

Three ways to invest in tech.

Early-Stage VC

Return potential
Asymmetric upside if a company breaks out; wide dispersion of outcomes.
Risk profile
High execution risk; many positions do not return capital.
Liquidity horizon
Long and uncertain, tied to company maturation and an eventual exit.
Investor access
Broadly accessible through VC funds and angel networks.

Public Equities

Return potential
Broad market participation; return tracks public market performance.
Risk profile
Lower idiosyncratic risk, priced and diversified daily by the market.
Liquidity horizon
Immediate; shares trade continuously on public exchanges.
Investor access
Open to any investor, no qualification required.

Late-Stage Secondary

Return potential
Entry after technology risk is resolved, before public markets fully price the company.
Risk profile
Company fundamentals already proven; primary risk shifts to timing of the liquidity event.
Liquidity horizon
[LIQUIDITY HORIZON TO CONFIRM]
Investor access
Reserved for qualified investors, deal by deal, via a dedicated vehicle.
Track record

A strategy already proven.

The team

Two partners. Committed capital.

Tarik Remila

Partner — Deal Flow & Origination

Tarik has spent several years at the heart of the private equity ecosystem, across both early stage and late stage. Convinced these two horizons reinforce each other rather than compete, he treats direct access to the best technology opportunities as a single investment practice, from first round through to the liquidity event. The companies funded yesterday often become tomorrow's late-stage opportunities. Investor in over 30 companies and funds across Europe and the US (Sorare, Kiln, Flex, Soma Capital, and others).

Co-invests in every transaction, on the same terms.
Sarah Bougrab

Sarah Bougrab

Partner — Structuring & Investor Relations

A business law and tax attorney, Sarah has spent nearly ten years advising entrepreneurs and investors on their strategic operations. Her interest in investing grew out of her work with the clients she advised. After investing in cryptocurrencies and then early stage startups, she naturally turned to late stage, drawn by the quality, maturity, and potential of these companies. At Avenor Partners, she brings her legal, strategic, and entrepreneurial perspective to a rigorous approach to investment.
