Apax Global Alpha Limited
Funds advised by Apax announce investment in Lever
On 1 November 2021, The Apax Digital Fund ("ADF"), in which AGA
is a limited partner, announced an investment in Lever, a leading
Talent Acquisition Software Suite, as part of a Series D funding
round led solely by ADF.
On a look through basis, AGA is expected to invest approximately
EUR2m in the company. Note that these figures relate to AGA's look
through position of the Apax Digital Fund's overall investment in
Lever and are stated before taking into account any closing
adjustments and are translated into Euro based on today's exchange
rates where applicable.(1)
Lever provides talent acquisition leaders with complete
applicant tracking systems (ATS) and candidate relationship
management (CRM) capabilities in a single native platform. LeverTRM
bridges the critical gap between traditional ATS and CRM systems,
including native Candidate Nurturing and full-funnel Analytics.
The investment in Lever will accelerate solution development in
talent analytics, top-of-funnel talent discovery, and diversity,
equity, and inclusion as well as support growth in new markets and
continued product innovation.
AGA, whose shares are listed on the London Stock Exchange,
provides investors with access to a diversified portfolio of
private equity funds advised by Apax as well as a focused portfolio
of debt and equity investments ("Derived Investments"). In 2017,
AGA made a commitment of $50m to ADF.
