JVP was a Round A investor in CyberArk (NASDAQ: CYBR), growing the company into a multibillion leader guarding from the “enemy from within” by giving solutions of identity security and privileged access management. JVP invested early, and then invested again through a significant secondary transaction with Goldman Sachs as a Co-Investor. JVP reached 47% ownership, and led the company to a NASDAQ IPO led by JP Morgan. Today CyberArk is one of the leading cyber companies in the world.
- As one of CyberArk’s Round A investor, JVP identified founders’ Udi Mokady and Alon N. Cohen’s groundbreaking digital vault technologys’ ability to protect identities within the system against advanced cyber threats from humans or machines.
- JVP’s activist approach involved rebranding CyberArk, integrating 5 key industry leaders, and bringing on a seasoned NASDAQ-CFO to gear up for the public listing.
- In 2011, seizing a pivotal moment, JVP led a $25M secondary buyout with Goldman Sachs, significantly increasing our stake in CyberArk to 47%. This move catapulted CyberArk’s valuation towards its eventual IPO.
- Under JVP’s guidance, CyberArk specialized in identity security and privileged access management, launching 10 new products, expanding into 20 regions, and securing 1,800 customers by the end of 2014.
- After CyberArk’s IPO on NASDAQ JVP held the company for a few more years until exit, delivering exceptional returns for our investors.
Earnix is the next generation Real-Time Dynamic AI Platform for the insurance industry, allowing large insurance companies to enter the new world of dynamic Real-Time Pricing, Rating, Claims, Underwriting, and Usage Based Insurance (“UBI”).
- JVP strategically identified the innovative potential of Earnix’s technology in its early stages, and then invested in its growth rounds aimed at scaling the company internationally and revolutionizing the insurance industry.
- Integrated into over 90 of the world’s leading insurance groups across North America, Europe, Australia, and Asia, Earnix is establishing itself as the category leader.
- JVP participated in several growth rounds, including the latest one led by Insight Partners, valuing Earnix at $1.1 billion and earning it “Unicorn” status.
- Recently, Earnix announced a monumental partnership with Guidewire (NYSE: GWRE), the legacy insurance core software platform, to offer combined solutions encompassing a full end-to-end platform.
JVP in partnership with Accel Partners, supported BI leader Qlik from an early-stage Swedish company to a $2.5B international leader, headquartered in Delaware and operating worldwide. Qlik revolutionized how AI and BI were used in enterprise – intuitively, visually and simply across every department. Qlik’s journey included a major IPO and the company was acquired by Thoma Bravo for $3B.
- Through its dealflow sourcing process, JVP swiftly spotted a unique opportunity: a local government-backed Swedish BI technology company with high potential for internationalization and market leadership in innovative Business Intelligence products.
- JVP strategically persuaded the company to delay buyout offers, capitalizing on the Swedish Chief Scientist Authority’s desire to monetize its shareholder position.
- Leading a secondary round of $400M alongside Accel Partners, JVP matched Qlik with a U.S. venture partner with significant executive experience, driving the company’s globalization.
- Within a year of JVP’s secondary investment, Qlik went public on NASDAQ, soaring to over $2B at JVP’s exit.
- JVP’s strategic moves resulted in a lucrative acquisition by Thoma Bravo in 2021 at $3B, generating remarkable returns for our investors.
