LDC, a leading mid-market private equity firm, is backing the existing management team, led by CEO Janette Martin and Co-Founder Stephen Rundell, to support its organic growth strategy and explore complementary acquisitions. The investment will enable further investment in product development and the creation of more than 50 new jobs by 2025, and provides an exit for existing investor Twenty20 Capital.

GCS provided vendor due diligence to support the transaction, with a focus on market sizing and customer referencing.

The GCS team on the transaction was led by James Tetherton and Matt Harrison.

This engagement builds on GCS's strong track record in software and human capital technology, underlining our role in supporting high-growth SaaS businesses and their investors at key inflection points in their journey.
