Capiton buys Ispin

Ispin's co-founders, Marco Marchesi and Stefan Napflin, and the management team also invested in the new company.

Capiton drew equity for the acquisition from its €440m fund, Capiton V. The GP plans to use Ispin as a platform for a buy-and-build strategy in the DACH region's cybersecurity market.

Ispin's Marchesi told Swiss trade publication Inside Channels that the cybersecurity market in the region is growing fast but is still very fragmented, creating opportunities for consolidation. Marchesi added that the company is already in discussion with potential acquisition targets.
