We have been fortunate to follow Cloudpermit’s progress for some time and we have been extremely impressed by the work done by Jan and his team in entering the North American market. We wish them all the best in their next phase of growth with Riverside.” This transaction further underscores Alantra’s growing momentum in the technology sector, following recent advisory roles in key transactions such as BGF’s investment in Twenty7tec, and Dancerace’s significant investment from Norland Capital, and Holland Capital’s sale of Magnus Black to Hardis Group.
