TPG, Insight in $500m round for Kaseya

The fresh capital will support the acquisition of dark-web-monitoring company ID Agent and will value the consolidated group at $1.75bn, according to Unquote sister publication Mergermarket. It will also fund international expansion and investment in research and development.

According to a statement, the consolidated business will have a client base of around 40,000 clients.

The transaction comes 18 months after the Irish Strategic Investment Fund invested €19m in a €38m funding round for Kaseya, which is dual-headquartered in Ireland and the US, and a year after the company merged with US-headquartered IT business Unitrends.

Previous funding
Insight first invested in Kaseya in June 2013 and is the majority shareholder in the company. The firm acquired a majority stake in US-based Unitrends four months later.
