About Meanings Capital Partners

Founded in 2015, Meanings Capital Partners is a Paris-based French investment platform that grew out of the former Meeschaert Capital Partners business, which was rebranded in 2021. Its ownership is held entirely by the firm's operating executives, according to its website.

The firm invests across four areas: Small Cap and Mid Cap private equity, infrastructure and real estate. Its stated focus is on backing companies, infrastructure assets and property projects undergoing growth or transformation, typically targeting businesses with €10 million–€150 million in revenue depending on strategy and real-estate assets valued at €30 million–€50 million.

Meanings is especially differentiated by its multi-strategy model, hands-on support for management teams and formal sustainability positioning. The firm says it has deployed €1.5 billion since 2015, completed more than 60 investments and employs more than 45 people; it is also B Corp certified.
