What Happened Next

Recapitalized in 2025 in a round the second backer says it led, five years after a purchase that backer's own card dates to 2020 via the search fund, with revenue up more than tenfold since by the same card. The index host names him chief executive beside its July 2020 investment.

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

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.

These sources name who runs the business and when the firm invested, rather than saying in a sentence that the searchers bought it. The index host names him as chief executive beside its July 2020 investment; the second backer's card says the company was acquired via the search fund in 2020 and names him chief executive beside it, without saying he was the buyer. Nothing says he bought it in so many words.
