  • GTreasury powers trillions of dollars in annual payment volumes, serving 1,000+ customers worldwide across 160 countries

  • Hg’s AI expertise helped accelerate the development of GTreasury’s new AI products, including the launch of GSmart AI earlier this year

London, Oct 16 2025 – Hg, a leading investor in European and transatlantic software and services businesses, today announced it has agreed the sale of GTreasury, a global leader in adaptable treasury solutions for the Office of the CFO, for a total transaction value of over $1 billion.

The company has scaled significantly with Hg’s support, expanding its transatlantic footprint and accelerating product innovation. This includes the launch of GSmart AI, which augments GTreasury’s platform with agentic capabilities that reduce manual effort, proactively identify risks and variances, and recommend strategic actions for finance leaders.

Renaat Ver Eecke, CEO, GTreasury, said: “Joining Ripple is hugely exciting and will further accelerate our vision of smart, adaptable solutions that provide financial leaders with the clarity to act. I am also immensely grateful for Hg’s support over the last two and a half years, whose expertise in software, AI, and Office of the CFO gave us a huge advantage while scaling, launching new products and delighting our customers. Finally, I want to thank Mainsail Partners for their steadfast support since their initial investment in 2017.”

Louis Kinsella, Partner at Hg, said: “It’s been a pleasure working with Renaat and the GTreasury team over the last couple of years. The business has firmly cemented its position as the most adaptable treasury platform on the market, evidenced by its accelerating growth, increasingly transatlantic footprint, and exciting product innovations, including the recent launch of GSmart AI. I have no doubt the GTreasury team will continue to thrive in this exciting new chapter.”

Defense Tech Unicorn Govini Surpasses $100 Million ARR Milestone

BainCapital

$150 million growth investment positions the Company to continue to expand its market leadership and accelerate innovation

ARLINGTON, Va. – Oct. 13, 2025 – Govini, the software leader in transforming the Defense Acquisition process, today announced that it surpassed $100 million in ARR and secured a $150 million growth investment from Bain Capital, which will allow the company to continue to expand its product offerings, grow its team of technologists and defense experts, and enhance its best-in-class data capabilities to meet exploding demand across the national security community.

“I founded Govini to create an entirely new category of software built to transform how the U.S. government uses AI and data to make decisions,” said Govini Founder and Executive Chairman Eric Gillespie. “After methodically developing our proprietary technology, that vision is now a reality. This investment validates not just the current position achieved by our incredibly talented team, but also our long-term goal of fundamentally rewiring how defense and national security communities make decisions with AI and data.”

Govini’s flagship product, Ark, is a suite of AI-enabled applications trusted by every department of the U.S. military and other federal agencies. Powered by Govini’s proprietary National Security Knowledge Graph, Ark accelerates workflows across the entire spectrum of Defense Acquisition including Supply Chain, Science & Technology, Production, Logistics, Sustainment, and Modernization.

“National security today is defined by speed—speed to build, to adapt, to fight,” saidGovini CEO Tara Murphy Dougherty. “Our software delivers that speed, replacing slow, archaic acquisition processes with a system built for modern competition. By equipping the Department of War with the capabilities to outpace, out-innovate, and out-fight those who threaten us, we are turning the outdated acquisition system into a force multiplier that delivers decisive advantage. This capital ensures we can scale rapidly to meet the surging demand for our products, which gives the United States the edge it needs to win.”

The investment comes at a time when Defense Acquisition is increasingly recognized as critical to America’s national security posture. Govini’s software-first approach combines cutting-edge AI technology with unmatched defense data to solve acquisition challenges that have plagued the Department of War for decades.

“We’re thrilled to support Govini’s next phase of growth as it continues to revolutionize how the U.S. government acquires and deploys the capabilities that keep us safe. Govini sits in a completely unique position at the intersection of national security, data, and software—areas that are increasingly vital to America’s strategic interests,” said Scott Kirk, Partner at Bain Capital Tech Opportunities. “The company’s proven platform and dominance of this category position it as an indispensable partner to defense and civilian agencies alike.”

This coincides with a series of expanded deployments across the DoW, U.S. intelligence community, and other national security agencies, reaffirming Govini’s position at the forefront of transforming Defense Acquisition into a platform for sustained military readiness and American global leadership. These include a 5-year DoW-wide contract from the U.S. Army, a $50 million award from the Office of the Under Secretary of War for Acquisition & Sustainment (OUSW A&S), an extension of Govini’s support for the Minuteman III program, Impact Level 5 Authority to Operate (IL5 ATO) for three military departments, and a $919 million government-wide supply chain risk illumination contract sponsored by OUSW A&S.

About Govini

Govini builds software to accelerate the Defense Acquisition Process. Ark, Govini’s flagship product, is a suite of AI-enabled applications, powered by integrated government and commercial data, that solves problems across the entire spectrum of Defense Acquisition, including Supply Chain, Science & Technology, Production, Logistics, Sustainment, Modernization. With Ark, the Acquisition community eliminates slow, manual processes and gains the ability to rapidly imagine, produce, and field critical warfighting capabilities. Ark transforms Defense Acquisition into a strategic advantage for the United States.

Flyntlok Secures $36 Million Growth Investment from Mainsail Partners to Bring AI & Innovation to Heavy Equipment Dealers

Mainsail partners

Anchorage, AK – October 8, 2025 – Flyntlok, provider of a modern, cloud-based heavy equipment dealer management system (DMS), today announced a $36 million growth investment from Mainsail Partners, a growth equity firm investing in bootstrapped vertical SaaS companies. With this investment and the support of Mainsail AI Labs, Flyntlok will introduce new products and features to help equipment dealers drive efficiencies and uncover new revenue opportunities through AI.

In addition, Flyntlok plans to invest further in its customer success program, ensuring dealers continue to receive the hands-on guidance and service that has distinguished the company.

“Whether they like it or not, equipment dealers are in the data management business—managing millions of part numbers, thousands of models, and constantly changing pricing structures and incentives,” said Sean McLaughlin, founder and CEO of Flyntlok. “When you add in today’s tariff pressures, dealers need every advantage to drive efficiency and protect growth. We’re excited to leverage Mainsail’s deep experience in scaling vertical SaaS businesses, as well as the strategic and technical resources of Mainsail AI Labs, to bring AI and innovation to the dealer market in ways that deliver transformative value for our customers.”

Flyntlok is a specialty, cloud-based DMS purpose-built for various dealer segments including heavy equipment, heavy and medium-duty trucks and outdoor power equipment. The platform was designed and incubated by McLaughlin inside his own dealership, Craig Taylor Equipment, where he leveraged the platform to help grow revenue from $20 million to more than $105 million in 11 years.

Flyntlok helps dealers across hundreds of locations streamline mission-critical workflows such as point-of-sale, purchase and work orders, rentals, transportation scheduling, fleet and inventory planning, while also integrating in real time with QuickBooks and Sage Intacct for general ledger, AP/AR and payroll. The system supports dealers managing equipment of all sizes, from blowers, mowers, and weed trimmers to loaders, graders, excavators, and mining trucks.

“Flyntlok’s dealer-first approach was locked in from inception, as Sean’s experience building and using the platform to grow his own dealership reinforced the power of modernizing business management with intuitive, cloud-based software. Being purpose-built within its vertical, combined with deep OEM integrations and a strong reputation for customer support, sets Flyntlok apart,” said Vinay Kashyap, Partner at Mainsail Partners.

“We see tremendous opportunity to help Flyntlok accelerate innovation—particularly in bringing AI to the industry to create lasting value for dealers—and we look forward to partnering with the Flyntlok team in their growth,” said Anthony Hayes, Principal at Mainsail Partners.

At the upcoming Equip Exposition, held October 21-24 in Louisville, KY, Flyntlok will showcase some of the ways that properly implementing AI within a DMS can help dealers unlock value hidden within their own data, such as surfacing sales opportunities through the Flyntlok CRM, and streamline repetitive processes to help them run leaner, more profitable businesses.

About Flyntlok

Flyntlok is a pioneering software company that specializes in delivering cutting-edge dealer/equipment management solutions. Flyntlok’s cloud-based dealer management platform offers a comprehensive suite of tools designed to help its dealer customers manage sales, service, rental and parts inventory.

Bridgepoint partners with Chime Software, a leading field management software provider to the construction industry

Bridgepoint

Bridgepoint, one of the world’s leading quoted private asset growth investors, has announced it will partner with Chime Software (“Chime”), a UK-based SaaS provider transforming how construction companies manage their workforces and on-site operations.

The transaction sees Bridgepoint Growth become a significant minority shareholder in Chime.

Founded in 2016 with a focus on solving real-world inefficiencies on construction sites, Chime is a leading platform for digital timesheets, real-time site visibility, mobile-friendly forms, inductions, onboarding, workflows, and health and safety documentation. Its powerful cloud-based web system and intuitive mobile app are used by more than 80,000 operatives from hundreds of construction companies daily, with continuous refinement in line with live customer feedback and operational needs.

With Bridgepoint’s backing, Chime is well positioned to capitalise on a highly attractive market with low digital penetration, strong growth and significant white space opportunity. As the global construction industry’s transition from legacy paper-based to modern digital systems gathers pace, Chime offers a simple, reliable, and highly scalable mobile-first product to speed up site entry, remove bottlenecks, and ensure safety and compliance processes happen in real-time. Its innovative software integrates directly into business-critical payroll workflows, delivering significant ROI.

The investment announced today will enable Chime to accelerate its product roadmap and transition into a complete, all-in-one construction software platform, including expansion into new modules covering health & safety, quality control and asset management, with further investment into customer success.

Roger Bradbury, Chairman and Founder of Chime, said: “Construction has been my life’s work, and I’ve seen first-hand the challenges businesses face on-site. At Chime, we’ve always set out to solve real problems, not create technology for technology’s sake. This partnership is another step in ensuring construction companies have the tools they need to thrive in a modern, digital world.”

Aaron Powell, Managing Director and Founder of Chime, added: “Our growth has always been driven by our customers – over 300 companies who’ve trusted Chime and shaped its journey. We’re grateful for their input, which ensures our software evolves with their needs. This partnership allows us to accelerate our roadmap, broaden our solution, and help even more construction companies save time, increase productivity, and improve safety.”

David Hawes, Chief Technology Officer and Founder of Chime, said: “It’s the people who have made Chime what it is today – from those who shaped the product early on, to the many talented colleagues who’ve joined in recent years across every function. All have played a role nurturing the team spirit and momentum we enjoy today. This investment is not just about unlocking our platform’s potential; it’s a validation that what we’ve built is valuable and solves real problems. Today’s news is a recognition of that collective effort, and I’m incredibly proud to be on this journey with the team.”

Mayank Kanga, Partner at Bridgepoint, commented: “Chime is a business with a clear value proposition – it delivers essential digital infrastructure for an industry still early in its adoption curve. Its mobile-first platform addresses critical payroll and compliance workflows, driving both strong usage and customer advocacy. We are excited to partner with Roger, Aaron and David to invest behind Chime’s offering, expand its product suite and bring its benefits to a wider set of customers.”

The transaction is expected to complete in the second half of 2025, subject to customary regulatory approvals. Financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
