Manta Capital Advisory · Paris

Private capital
advisory across
European deal flow.

We source, structure, and syndicate private investment opportunities across private equity, venture capital, secondary market, luxury real estate co-investments, and European fund structuring — for a small circle of long-term co-investors.

Sectors of focus

Six lanes, deeply travelled.

Each lane is sourced through long-standing relationships and vetted alongside operators we have followed for cycles.

Private equity

Mid-market mandates with conviction, alongside European tier-1 leads. Direct co-investment when the structure permits, fund-of-funds otherwise.

  • Mid-cap LBO
  • Growth equity
  • GP-led continuation

Venture capital

Series A through pre-IPO. Sector-led origination across SaaS, fintech, and deep tech in DACH, France, and Benelux.

  • Series A–C
  • Sector specialists
  • Direct & syndicate

Secondary market

Direct-from-operator share transfers in pre-IPO companies. Lead-investor cost basis, structured carry, watermarked materials.

  • Pre-IPO direct
  • Tender offers
  • GP-led secondaries

Luxury real estate

Trophy assets in jurisdictions we know personally — beachfront, alpine, urban boutique hospitality. Always co-invested with operators.

  • Hospitality
  • Trophy assets
  • Operator partnerships

Fund structuring

Luxembourg SCSp, Cayman ELP, Delaware LP. From structuring memorandum to bank rails, bundled with our network of counsels and admins.

  • LU / KY / DE
  • Bank rails
  • Compliance pack

Fundraising advisory

Selective placement for emerging managers and founders. Investor mapping, deck refinement, pre-meeting brief, post-meeting pulse.

  • LP mapping
  • Pitch refinement
  • Process management
