About Before Partners

At Before Partners, we specialize in guiding startups and family-owned businesses through the complexities of fundraising and M&A.

Our foundation is built not just on expertise, but on a shared entrepreneurial journey. Founded by Stéphane Hincourt-Thomassin, a seasoned expert in mergers, acquisitions, and fundraising, we stepped away from the structure of large consultancy firms to embrace the freedom and challenges of entrepreneurship. This decision was fueled by a desire to create a more flexible, client-focused approach, free from the constraints of rigid corporate hierarchies.

At Before Partners, our strength lies in our founder Stéphane Hincourt-Thomassin vast professional network. We don't rely on in-house staff constrained by limited specializations. Instead, we harness the power of a dynamic network of top-tier finance professionals, handpicked for each assignment. This model ensures our clients receive expert guidance precisely tailored to their unique needs. We invite passionate finance professionals to explore joining our network, enriching our community with diverse expertise.
