Opportunities
Help Founders Accelerate Customer Acquisition And Product Development
At investment, Fusion was a fast growing, capital efficient software and consulting business focused on business continuity solutions for enterprises. Led by domain experts and thought leaders in the risk space, the founding management team had successfully productized their consulting practice into a web-based software solution built on the Salesforce Force.com platform. We provided growth capital to continue investment in customer acquisition and product development.
Help Establish And Define An Emerging Market Category (Business Continuity / Operational Resilience) within The Broader Risk And Compliance Segment
By building a go-to-market engine to help Fusion spread their vision about operational resilience, we were able to identify and establish early adopters in highly regulated industries such as financial services, insurance, and manufacturing. Since our investment, we are now seeing significant momentum with blue chip customers in other key industries including healthcare, hospitality, retail, transportation, software, and professional services.
Help The Founding Team Assemble A World-class Management Team
Since Level’s investment in 2014, we’ve helped the founding team assemble a robust executive team to capitalize on the company’s massive market opportunity including the company’s CEO, COO, CFO, CMO, and CRO.
Value Created
Level’s investment represented Fusion’s first institutional capital raised. Fusion was led by founders that are highly regarded in the risk management space and had successfully productized their consulting practice. We were able to provide capital to enhance product development and go-to-market initiatives that has resulted in the business growing 14x+ in scale over our investment period. Level also helped expand the company’s geographic footprint with office openings in downtown Chicago and London.
Over the last 9 years, we have helped the founding team assemble a world-class management team including a CEO, COO, CFO, CMO, and CRO. Level helped orchestrate multiple liquidity events for the business including recapitalizations with Catalyst Investors in May 2017, Vista Equity in September 2019, and Great Hill Partners in April 2023.
