IK buys You Sure from Synergia

The company's co-founders will reinvest in the business alongside IK.

This is the 11th investment made by the GP from IK Small Cap II Fund, which closed on its hard-cap of €550m in February 2018. The fund invests in majority and selected minority buyouts in companies with an enterprise value of up to €100m, based across France and the DACH, Benelux and Nordic regions.

IK intends to support You Sure's consolidation and buy-and-build strategy, while expanding its customer base and international reach.

Synergia invested in You Sure in March 2019. Under its ownership, the company has significantly expanded its footprint through strategic acquisitions and the development of its IT platform. 

You Sure has acquired and integrated 35 insurance portfolios into its proprietary platform in the last nine years.
