The Deal

Bought By

Patrick Prendiville and Matthew Williams

Year

Not published by any primary source

One backer's companies table files the company under a year-invested column, 2023, with a status column reading acquired, which is the backer's own label and not a sentence about the purchase. The second backer's operators page names both men co-chief executives and prints no year, and its portfolio page carries a description and no date.

Vehicle

Wattletree Capital Partners, backed by Novidam, Ambit Partners and Legate Partners

Kind

Physical operations

An Australian fire protection company that tests, inspects and installs fire alarms and systems for commercial clients.

What Happened Next

Still held: one backer's operators page names both men co-chief executives of the company, and a second backer's companies table names the same two beside its own 2023 investment, marked acquired.
