Founded in 2016, Aptic has become a key player in the recruitment for finance and support functions in the mid-market segment.

The firm aims to promote the sustainable, profitable growth of French SMEs. This strategy is deployed through direct investments in the capital of companies, co-investments and investments in specialized funds.
