A family office established by an entrepreneur for entrepreneurs

INSPIRED BY BRUNO ROUSSET

In 1988 Bruno Rousset shook up the insurance market by creating a start-up in Lyon with a single focus: customers. In 2019, when we sold our majority stake, APRIL had operations in 28 countries, 3,900 staff members and a turnover of almost €1 billion.

We understand the great entrepreneurial adventure and ensuing emotional roller-coaster, the journey undertaken by these people who are utterly devoted to their endeavour. We are agile, pragmatic and rooted in the daily reality of entrepreneurs. We stand by their side with perspicuity, care and exacting standards of implementation. We always strive to create the most conducive conditions for a project’s success.
We make sure sustainable performance issues are taken into account in the development plans of these start-up projects.

Responsiveness and support

Aligning interests

Our primary motivation is entrepreneurial: we want to make projects grow; financial performance is only a consequence.

Long-term vision

We select projects whose vision we share and which we want to support, without any time constraints.

Responsiveness and flexibility

Our decision-making processes are simple and fast, and our structure (simplified joint stock company without external investors) offers us great flexibility.
