Originally focused on buyout transactions, NiXEN began its first operations in 2005 with the NiXEN I vehicle. It became independent in 2010 following the spin-off from Natixis Private Equity and the creation of its second vehicle in 2012, NiXEN II.  

 

Through its first two funds, NiXEN has acquired successful experiences in majority transactions, and has effectively defined and developed external growth strategies alongside its portfolio companies. NiXEN has also accompanied its portfolio internationaly through organic growth or build-ups.  

 

Since 2019, NiXEN has been developing a Co-investment activity alongside other Paris-based GPs (CAPZA, ANDERA Partners, Equistone etc.), and in 2022 integrated a new complementary Advisory | Fund Management activity started in 2017.
