This transaction will accelerate Solifi’s growth by supporting product innovation, driving expansion into adjacent financing markets and new geographies and delivering enhanced value to its customers. Existing investor Thoma Bravo, a software investment firm, will continue to maintain a meaningful stake in Solifi.
“TA’s expertise scaling companies will be a significant value-add for Solifi as we look to expand our business and reach our full potential as a leading provider of end-to-end solutions for the secured finance market,” David Hamilton, CEO of Solifi, said. “For over 50 years, we have been committed to helping our customers strengthen their market position with our scalable, secure and best-in-class software solutions. We are incredibly proud of our growth thus far, and are grateful to have Thoma Bravo’s continued support as we begin this exciting next chapter in partnership with TA.”
“We have tracked Solifi for many years and have been continually impressed by its leadership in developing innovative, mission-critical technology for the secured finance market,” Harry Taylor, managing director at TA, said. “As more organizations aim to modernize their financial processes and migrate to the cloud, Solifi’s Open Finance Platform is well-equipped to support enterprises in their digital transformation journey, helping them automate their workflows and maximize efficiency.”
“We believe there is significant opportunity for Solifi to expand both organically and through strategic acquisitions and look forward to collaborating with David, the Solifi team and Thoma Bravo in Solifi’s next phase of growth,” Nicholas D. Leppla, director at TA, said.
“As a partner to Solifi since 2019, it has been a privilege to work alongside David and his team to drive the company’s evolution through product expansion and accretive acquisitions,” A.J. Rohde, senior partner at Thoma Bravo, said. “We are excited to continue our relationship with Solifi as it enters this new stage of growth.”
“We are thrilled to partner with TA and jointly work to further strengthen Solifi’s position as the world’s leading provider of secured finance software technology,” George Jaber, principal at Thoma Bravo, said.
