Every Accellency mandate is led directly by its senior partners: Alexandra Prigent, Romain Richemont, Nick Webb and Thomas Delanglade.

No. Accellency advises across private markets, listed markets and IPOs, working with investment funds, private companies and listed companies.

For investment funds, Accellency shapes positioning, from go-to-market strategy to exit readiness for portfolio companies. Accellency builds LP-facing material (AGMs, investor days, DDQs, PPMs, thought leadership), and prepares teams with full roadshow preparation: drafting the pitch, script review, delivery coaching and mock LP meetings. GPs typically engage ahead of a fundraise, an AGM or a portfolio company exit.
Ideally at least six months before the first LP meetings. This gives Accellency time to build a full go-to-market strategy, refine the fund’s positioning and materials, and prepare the team before fundraising begins.
Leading funds work with Accellency for its specialist expertise in investor relations, equity story and go-to-market positioning, backed by a results-oriented culture. This is proven by 200+ mandates across 50+ clients, including repeat work for established GPs such as Ardian, KKR, Eurazeo and Tikehau.
Accellency designs AGMs and LP investor days for success: forward-looking content, genuine dialogue with LPs, time for peer networking and thoroughly prepared speakers. Accellency delivers these events end-to-end, from event strategy and slides to scripting and delivery coaching.
Accellency produces and reviews DDQs and PPMs to the highest standard, turning the core documents LPs use to evaluate a fund into tools that build a GP’s credibility. Rather than a copy-and-paste of the last vintage, each document reflects current market dynamics, key differentiators and rising LP expectations. With just over half of all committed capital going to the 100 largest funds in 2024, that edge matters more than ever
Accellency writes thought leadership content that AI engines can read and cite, so when LPs use those tools to assess a GP, the fund is described accurately and favourably. This matters more than ever, as investment professionals already use AI-generated analysis in their decisions.
Accellency provides portfolio companies with equity story repositioning, exit readiness, operational support, financial marketing, management coaching, and IPO and private placement positioning. Accellency intervenes 12 to 18 months ahead of an exit to make the company sale-ready, with a management team prepared to present with impact to buyers.
Accellency prepares a company for exit 12 to 18 months before the formal sale process, applying its proprietary 8-step ESTEX® (Equity Story for Exit Readiness) methodology. Starting early lets Accellency align management and shareholders, build the supporting KPIs and coach the team before buyers are in the room.
Accellency should be appointed 12 to 18 months ahead of a transaction. This lead time lets Accellency reposition the equity story, align management and shareholders, and prepare the team before the formal process begins.
Accellency provides listed companies with strategic IR advisory, equity stories for listed and IPO candidates, capital markets days, perception surveys, and training and coaching. Accellency is engaged around an IPO or capital markets day to strengthen the equity story and the IR programme.
Accellency gives a listed company the equity story it needs to turn strategy into a clear, investor-friendly narrative that justifies its growth and valuation. This matters as passive investing concentrates active interest in fewer stocks: index funds and ETFs now hold 51% of US long-term fund assets.
Accellency Academy is the training and coaching arm of Accellency. Accellency Academy prepares executives and investment professionals to communicate complex financial and strategic messages with clarity and impact, ahead of high-stakes moments such as roadshows, AGMs, capital markets days and exit readiness, through keynotes, workshops and individual coaching.
ESTEX® is Accellency’s proprietary 8-step methodology that converts a company’s strategy into an investor-focused equity story ahead of a transaction. The eight steps cover choosing the right analogy, differentiation, market dynamics, client benefits, growth catalysts, business units, the business narrative and finally the top investment highlights.
Accellency’s go-to-market methodology is a proprietary 8-step approach that turns a fund’s key selling points and differentiators into an impact pitch that triggers LP interest. The eight steps cover analogy, differentiation, strategic messaging and fund positioning, market intelligence, marketing materials, DDQs, sales-team tools such as elevator pitches and model Q&As, and roadshow delivery coaching.
Accellency’s work centres on human interaction and critical strategic thinking, using AI to accelerate document production from its in-house methodologies. In-person services such as coaching are not replaceable by AI. Accellency also equips clients to monitor how AI engines perceive their company or fund, then tailors deliverables to strengthen that perception.
An investment bank runs the transaction process, while Accellency shapes the financial positioning: the equity story, key investment highlights, teaser deck, talking points and Q&As, and the preparation of executives for high-stakes investor interactions. The two roles are complementary.
A placement agent runs the fundraising process and connects a fund with prospective LPs. Accellency shapes the fund’s positioning and go-to-market strategy, defining its key differentiators versus peers, then produces the materials and coaching that prepare the team for investor meetings. The two roles are complementary.
