Main Capital takes majority stake in Verklizan

Main Capital is currently investing from Main Capital IV, which closed on its €85m hard-cap in 2015. The fund focuses on the software industry in the Benelux and DACH regions, targeting companies with at least €4m in revenues and writing equity cheques of €2-7m.

With the GP's backing, Verklizan will mostly pursue its international expansion, which it started developing in recent years. Bolt-on acquisitions to complete the company's services are also planned, the investor said in a statement

The investment comes only a week after the GP acquired a majority stake in Dutch data analytics and business-intelligence service Inergy.

The firm recently opened a DACH office in Dusseldorf, aiming to bolster its presence and increase its number of portfolio companies in the region. 

Main Capital was not available for comment on the transaction at the time of writing.
