FTV Capital led a growth equity investment into the private markets risk management platform.

Innovation drives us—whether through designing customized hedging strategies or developing technology that streamlines operations, mitigates risk, and enhances efficiency for our clients.

FTV Capital led the investment round with participation from existing backer SilverTree Equity to accelerate product development and market reach.
"We are immensely proud of Orbus’s track record of strong growth and product innovation over the past few years. We have solidified our position as a market leader in enterprise architecture. FTV’s investment and SilverTree’s significant rollover reflect the tremendous progress we’ve made and the significant opportunity ahead. Together, we will accelerate our expansion into key markets, enhance our AI-driven platform, and continue to deliver exceptional value to our customers worldwide. We are excited for this next chapter of growth and success."
The Series D round values the payments infrastructure provider at $1.4bn and includes participation from several existing investors.
"The opportunity in software is enormous, with tens of thousands of incredibly innovative businesses bringing great products to market every year. Unfortunately, many SaaS companies still find their growth hindered by the operational challenges that arise when scaling; from handling subscriptions management or tax compliance to localizing payment options in every market. Paddle was created to remove these invisible barriers so that SaaS companies can just focus on building and selling software. 2021 was a fantastic year for us, but we are only just getting started. We have big plans for 2022 and beyond and we’re delighted to have the backing of so many fantastic investors who all share our vision."
The revenue delivery platform has secured £52m in a Series C round led by FTV Capital to fuel global expansion.
"We are witnessing a systemic shift within software, with the ‘growth at any cost’ mindset gradually being replaced by a realisation that businesses must scale more efficiently and with clearer purpose. We’ve been extremely impressed with Christian and Harrison’s ambition and Paddle’s growth to date and we believe they are defining a new category with Paddle’s Revenue Delivery Platform — one that will be critical to helping companies adapt to change while empowering them to take advantage of the huge acceleration in demand for digital products. With more than two decades investing in the SaaS and payments sectors, FTV will bring the best of our domain expertise to accelerate Paddle’s exciting growth."
FTV Capital led the £78.4m growth equity round with backing from existing investors to support new market entries and product development.
"We’re delighted to close this round with the full support of our investors. This investment gives us the opportunity to look ahead, create more jobs and provide the insurance pet owners care about for years to come."
