Intrepid Investment Bankers, a leading middle-market investment bank, today announced the completion of a growth capital raise for its client, Solid Commerce, a leading player in the Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) eCommerce space. With the support of its new partners, Silicon Valley-based Montage Capital and Silicon Beach-based SaaS Funding, both of whom are minimally dilutive providers of growth capital to technology businesses, Solid Commerce will accelerate the implementation of its growth initiatives, including sales and marketing, improved UI/UX, and continued marketplace expansion. Intrepid acted as the exclusive financial advisor to Solid Commerce.
“We are very proud of the platform that we have built. Recently, we have enhanced the user interface and introduced several new features that provide our customers with unprecedented access to the burgeoning online marketplace environment, which in turn, has attracted tremendous demand from end users and large industry partners,” said Eran Pick, CEO of Solid Commerce. “This growth investment will allow the company to continue aggressively expanding and further solidify its position as the market leader in retail eCommerce software.”
The success of the Solid Commerce platform is based on the company’s unique ability to seamlessly integrate with businesses of all shapes and sizes—from SMB, to mid-market to enterprise, across any end market. “Eran and his team have done a truly remarkable job in creating a transformational software platform catering to the large and ever-growing global retail eCommerce marketplace,” said Tristan Snyder, Co-Head of Intrepid’s Software & Services practice. “Eran engaged us to run a highly competitive, tailor-made process focused on value-added software and technology growth investors. We are privileged to have had this opportunity to help Eran and couldn’t be more excited about the future of the company.”
Mr. Pick further commented: “This process has clearly demonstrated the value to an entrepreneur of having a trusted advisor when securing such an important investment. Intrepid has been an exceptional partner for us, conducting a very selective and thoughtful process designed to meet our organizational goals. We could not be more pleased with their attention to detail, level of involvement, and with the outcome they delivered. It was truly a pleasure working with Tristan and the rest of the Software & Services team.”
