The Deal

Bought By

Tom Jackson

Year

Not published by any primary source

The backer's grid prints a year invested field, 2016, which is a label; the company's own November 2021 release quotes him as president and dates no purchase of the company itself.

Vehicle

Backed by M2O, which calls it a long-term hold that began as a traditional search fund acquisition

Kind

Software

ERP and CRM software for chemical manufacturers and distributors, in the backer's words, buying software companies of its own by 2021.

What Happened Next

Still held: the backer's long-term hold page says it was originally a traditional search fund acquisition and that the backer chose to remain through multiple recapitalizations rather than exit, and the company's own November 2021 release on acquiring Hazox quotes him as its president.

The exit ends of journeys like this one, where the buyer has announced the purchase itself, are on Buyers.

Backed by the Same Firms

Method & Source

This record is double-sourced: it joined when the purchase and, where the company has traded on, the exit could both be read in primary accounts.
