Million Pound Menu: PE & VC Developments
Thursday, 23rd January 2025, 6.30pm
Claire Trachet is the Founder and CEO of Trachet, a boutique advisory firm specialising in M&A and fundraising for Series A-C startups/scaleups. With 15 years experience in investment banking, tech and advisory services – and a 100% success rate in dealmaking with Trachet – Claire has been a key pillar for founders looking to improve their odds and achieve the best deal outcome achievable. Drawing on her most recent deal, where Trachet was the sole advisor for leading French cybersecurity company, YesWeHack – securing a €26m Series C – Claire will discuss the evolving landscape of fundraising the sector is currently undergoing.
On the “Million Pound Menu” for the evening, Claire will explore the evolving nature of Private Equity and the moment of convergence it is experiencing into the world of Venture Capital, and vice versa – particularly in the Growth Equity stage. Throughout your 7-course meals, there will be a new discussion topic.

- And for Dessert: A Perfect Pairing
We’ll examine how these two expanding sectors are starting to collaborate, creating new synergies and opportunities for the future.
Drawing on her experience, Claire will kickstart these discussions and open the conversation to the room.
