We had many conversations with private equity funds but the one that stood out was with the Ardian Growth team because they really understood our business and, like us, they had a truly long-term vision of how Kapten & Son could develop.

This investment by one of the world’s leading investment funds is a further testament to Ivalua’s long term strategy and business model. This additional capital will allow us to deliver ever more value to our customers and secure future growth.

We have invested significantly in the business over the past three years. To accelerate our growth, it was important that we choose a Partner with a strong understanding of the issues relating to international growth as well as the challenges associated with expanding our product range. Given the team’s track record and entrepreneurial approach, Ardian Growth was the obvious choice of partner for us.
