A Catalyst for Growth and Opportunity

888CI is an independent management company that connects capital with opportunity. At the intersection of investment banking, strategic advisory, and business development, 888CI identifies high-potential opportunities and structures them with an agile, tailor-made approach for its community of investors.

Why 888CI?

888CI supports the growth of ambitious ventures through its independence and entrepreneurial mindset. Its first fund, 888CI1, is a multi-asset investment vehicle focused on high-potential opportunities across private equity, LBOs, Series A, real estate, and more. We identify, structure, and syndicate promising deals—always with hands-on strategic and managerial support.

Hello, I'm Julien Jean, founder of 888CI

At the same time, I've been an investor since I was very young. I've led more than 40 deals, mainly in early and growth stages, and have had the honor of being named one of France's top Business Angels on several occasions.

With this dual vision—operational and investment—I founded 888CI to offer strategic, agile, and tailored support to those building the future. We structure investment vehicles, support complex transactions, and help leaders, families, and funds develop sustainably and efficiently, in France and abroad.

What drives me: business development, knowledge sharing, and the desire to support ambitious projects at key moments in their evolution.

888CI is also a trusted club, at the intersection of family offices, strategic consulting, and venture private equity.
