Capzanine backs Ivnosys
Capzazine has acquired a 40% stake in Spanish software specialist Ivnosys.
The company's founders and co-CEOs, Sergio Ruiz and Jaime Castelló, retained the remaining 60%.
The GP deployed capital from its Capzanine 4 Flex Equity fund, which held a final close on its €350m hard-cap in October 2016. The vehicle backs high-growth SMEs with revenues of up to €150m, and provides a mix of equity and mezzanine debt.
Capzanine 4 Flex Equity has recently made another investment in Spain by acquiring, alongside Nexxus Iberia, a minority stake in a medical group composed of three companies: Dorsia, Eva Fertility and Origen. The GPs bought a 35% stake in the business and both deployed equity and mezzanine debt for the financing.
Company
Established in 2011 and based in Paterna, near Valencia, Ivnosys is a software developer that specialises in providing companies with a security and digital identity platform that enables the use of electronic signatures and safe virtual documentation. The company expects to generate revenues of €5m in 2018.
