Palico SAS

Based in Paris, France, and founded in 2012 by Antoine Dréan (CEO), Palico SAS is an online marketplace for the private equity community. The company's top priority is ensuring that PE professionals have access to a secure and intuitive marketplace for both secondary and primary opportunities. Furthermore, in May 2015, Palico raised USD 7. 3 million of Series C financing from unspecified investors.

The company also has an office in New York. On one hand, Palico’s secondary digital marketplace maximizes price and proceeds to sellers by opening LP stakes to a global online community of both traditional and non-traditional buyers. Palico's secondary marketplace is a platform that connects buyers and sellers of PE fund interests and is specifically designed to unlock liquidity for LP sellers of smaller PE fund stakes and provide buyers with an easier way to access deal flow in a streamlined process. Additionally, GPs can curate a digital profile for their fund where they can then receive requests from interested LPs to gain further access and information.

On the other hand, the company's primary marketplace allows LPs to browse GP funds across all Private Equity fund strategies that match their specific investment criteria, and vice versa, GPs can discover and access new LPs. To do so, GPs can curate a digital profile for their fund where they can then receive requests from interested LPs to gain further access and information. Palico's LP member community already comprises more than 1,400 accredited private and institutional investors.
