KippsDeSanto & Co. Advises Invertix Corporation on its Sale to Razor’s Edge Ventures and Columbia Capital

KippsDeSanto & Co. is pleased to send you the attached press release announcing the acquisition of our client, Invertix Corporation (“Invertix” or “the Company”), by Razor’s Edge Ventures and Columbia Capital. The acquisition will enhance the Company’s growth potential as Invertix will have access to additional capital and industry expertise, as well as better position itself to address the evolving needs of the Intelligence Community (“IC”).

Headquartered in McLean, VA, Invertix is a leading provider of critical technology solutions to the national security community and IC. Notably, Invertix has developed significant domain expertise in several highly-demanded solution areas, including “Big Data” analytics, cloud computing, situational awareness, and sensors and communications. The resultant technology applications are highly-innovative and tailored to address its customers’ most complex mission requirements.

Through its industry thought leadership, R&D oriented culture, and wealth of subject matter experts, Invertix has established a reputation as a preferred technology partner for its customer base. The Company has an extensive track record of deploying solutions that facilitate critical activities, including intelligence gathering and analysis (e.g., human intelligence, open-source intelligence), cross-agency cloud interaction, virtualization of computing infrastructures, insider threat detection, and communications and high frequency geolocation. 

We believe this transaction demonstrates several key trends in the cyber and government services M&A environment:

• Attractiveness of unique, highly-specialized capability sets (e.g., Big Data solutions, cloud tools) that are in demand by the user community

• Buyer focus on acquiring into “hot lane” sectors, such as the IC, that are more inelastic relative to broader government budget cuts

• Importance of being on the front-end of large contracts with significant backlog, providing strong revenue visibility and organic growth potential in the near-term

• Knowledgeable financial buyers positioning themselves alongside top-tier government technology firms to achieve outsized returns

KippsDeSanto & Co. is an investment bank focused on delivering exceptional M&A and financing transaction results for leading technology and aerospace / defense companies. For more information on KippsDeSanto & Co., please visit www.kippsdesanto.com.
