€75M to back the entrepreneurs rebuilding how Europe ages.🩶 That's the thesis behind the new €75M fund UMR - Groupe VYV, makesense, and Serena are launching together: Entourâge. Across Europe, the over-65s now nearly match the under-20s. In 2025, deaths outnumbered births in France for the first time. Nearly 2 million elderly people in France live in isolation. 90% want to age at home. 10 million caregivers carry an invisible load with little systemic support. The infrastructure to support that shift is still largely missing. Public systems alone cannot absorb what's coming. Private capital has a role to play here. The Entourâge fund will back French and European companies building across the full aging value chain: home care, preventive health, social connection, caregiver support, end-of-life accompaniment, and care workforce development. Getting this right takes the right partners. And our partnership with makesense spans nearly a decade. In 2022, we took it further with Racine², pairing investment know-how with social and environmental/social impact engineering. Entourâge is the next chapter, now with UMR. Entourâge aligns with what we've always believed at Serena: backing innovative, ambitious entrepreneurs helps build a better, more inclusive world. As a mission-driven company since 2023, we bring financial returns and impact together at the core of our approach. Ticket sizes range from €1M to €5M. First investments will be announced before the end of 2026. Stay tuned!
