Ciclad et al. inject €10m into Alsei
French real estate group Alsei has raised €10m from VCs Ciclad and 123Venture, three years after securing capital from the latter.
A breakdown of the round was not provided, but unquote" sources confirmed Ciclad provided a little more than half the capital and 123Venture contributed the remainder.
The transaction is split into an equity injection fully supplied by Ciclad and convertible bonds provided by both Ciclad and 123Venture.
The investment is 123Venture's second in Alsei after backing the business with convertible bonds in 2012. The firm, active both in the private equity and real estate space, has also announced a joint venture will be launched with Alsei in parallel with the investment.
The scheme, in which Alsei will hold a minority stake, will see 123Venture inject capital that the former will use for real-estate development transactions.
