Aliter invests in Skill Pill

The firm is currently raising from Aliter I, which closed on £92m in February 2017. The fund makes majority investments of up to £20m in UK small-cap and mid-market companies with enterprise values in the £10-50m range.

Skill Pill is the firm's third investment in digital learning, alongside its portfolio companies Sponge and Bolt. The company will be merged with the group.

Aliter acquired Bolt Learning in May 2019 and concurrently provided financing for the acquisition of IT consultancy Mercurytide. The firm acquired Sponge UK in November 2019, with its shareholders reinvesting in the newco that acquired both companies.
