KippsDeSanto & Co. is pleased to announce the strategic investment in its client, iNovex Information Systems Inc. (“iNovex” or the “Company”), by Enlightenment Capital (“Enlightenment”).
Headquartered in Maryland, iNovex is a provider of full-stack software development solutions focused on cybersecurity, signals intelligence, data analytics, and robotic process automation for the Intelligence Community. The Company builds and supports key systems of record that address complex mission requirements critical to national security and enable the full continuum of mission management from sensor to finished intelligence data.

We believe this transaction highlights several key trends in the M&A market:
• Companies providing cybersecurity and advanced data & analytics solutions for high-profile Intelligence Community customers remain highly coveted in the market;
• Strong preference for firms with prime positions supporting unique and notable intelligence programs of consequence with significant backlog, long-term visibility, a highly cleared employee base and exemplary past performance;
• Continued demand for companies that are poised to capitalize on key market growth drivers (e.g., full stack software development, cybersecurity, data & analytics, RPA, AI/ML, cloud, mission management); and
• Robust financial sponsor activity and appetite for investments, particularly for companies with leading market positions, differentiated mission-focused tech-enabled services capabilities, enduring customer relationships, employee-centric culture, and proven leadership teams
