Top SchoolBenoit Taconet is a seasoned entrepreneur and M&A advisor with 15+ years founding and scaling tech companies—from training provider Adiscos to mobility unicorn Drivy (sold to Getaround)—and over a decade advising growth-stage impact-focused tech businesses. As Co‑Founder and Managing Director of Clermount and Senior Advisor at DAI Magister, he has led 30+ transactions across Europe, Africa and the US, specializing in fundraises of €10–100M and sell-side deals up to $300M across mobility, energy transition, fintech, edtech, smart cities and digital healthcare. He combines operator instincts from building companies with investor-grade execution, giving founders practical, outcome-driven support on fundraising and exits. Based in Paris with London reach, he uniquely connects mission-driven teams to international impact funds, VCs, strategic players and family offices. Less obvious: he pairs high-volume transaction experience with hands-on product and training roots, enabling nuanced diligence on go-to-market and talent risks.
