ReachFive

ReachFive, the SaaS Customer Identity and Access Management platform (“CIAM”), closed a $10 million Series A funding round in April 2019 led by CapHorn Invest with Ventech and Dawn Capital. This new round orchestrated by the investment bank Avolta Partners will fuel product innovation, customer growth and global expansion.

This capital injection confirms the momentum of ReachFive, and follows a stellar year of growth, in which the company saw its recurring revenue more than triple. ReachFive simplifies the consumer authentication process, providing a secure and unified 360-degree view of the customers to the brands, while also significantly improving the end user experience. The start-up has established strong relationships with leading players across a variety of sectors, including the likes of BUT, Boulanger, Etam Group, L’Occitane, Hachette Group, The Compagnie des Alpes, ENGIE, Micromania-Zing, and La Redoute, many of which have committed to multi-year partnerships.

4Stop

4Stop, a leading global KYB, KYC, compliance and fraud prevention provider succesfully raised a German-based $2.5 Million Series A Round Investment from Ventech in May 2019.

Ventech’s investment will support 4Stop in their next stage of growth and is indicative of the Fund’s interest in the firm’s digitalization of this operational risk process. Their aggregation of data and knowledge increases the value-add of their service with each additional client and data sourcing. The addressed risk process is a part of a company’s business that, for many, is integral to a firm’s ability to exist yet is outside of the core business and outside the area of expertise — thus the opportunity to partner with a true expert like 4Stop enables companies to focus on core business and continue to operate with smoothly managed regulatory risk. For an investor, the 4Stop business model is also interesting: a strong recurring nature of revenues and margins growing with their clients success.
