Jean-Mathieu Sahy
President – Founding Partner

Jean-Mathieu started in M&A at Société Générale before focusing on private equity with different teams. In 30 years, Jean-Mathieu has supported more than 70 companies with a common thread: innovation and international growth.

Ten years ago, Jean-Mathieu became convinced of the critical role internal expansion plays in a company’s development and viability, creating the first fund for French exporting firms, or firms that want to export. Capital Export combines equity, grants and subsidies, expertise, and local networks and partners to directly meet the needs of business owners and managers with a strategy centered around international expansion.
