SHARE ON

KippsDeSanto & Co. is pleased to announce that its client, Vidterra LLC (“Vidterra” or the “Company”), has been acquired by NexTech Solutions LLC (“NTS”), a portfolio company of Clairvest Group (“Clairvest”).

Founded in 2020, Vidterra is a mission-driven provider of intelligent software solutions that enable decisive and accelerated intelligence advantages by providing the complete lifecycle solution for Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (“ISR”) data assets, from collection to dissemination and management. The Company simplifies how video and sensor data are processed, fused, and delivered in challenging environments, allowing operators to focus on mission priorities. By combining deep technical expertise with operationally proven solutions, Vidterra has established itself as an essential partner for Special Operations and Intelligence Community customers requiring real-time, high-fidelity data intelligence in complex network environments.

This acquisition comes at a critical time as the Department of War, Department of Homeland Security, and Intelligence Community prioritize the modernization and integration of sophisticated ISR capabilities at the tactical edge. NTS’s acquisition of Vidterra will expand its ability to deliver timely and reliable insight from complex ISR and sensor environments in operational settings where speed, accuracy, and resilience are critical.

We believe this transaction highlights several key trends in the government and defense technology M&A market:

- Continued demand for specialized ISR and data technology assets that provide differentiated software solutions for managing and distributing complex data across disparate networks;

- Strong investment focus on companies with high-end technical "moats," specifically those offering proprietary software platforms that address the unique interoperability challenges; and

- Persistent demand for proprietary software or data processing assets providing a comprehensive, full-lifecycle solution for complex defense, homeland security, and intelligence missions.
