The owners chose Pemba Capital because of their strong track record in the technology sector and deep experience in supporting organic and acquisitive growth strategies.

Pemba Capital Partners – a leading investor in the Australian and New Zealand technology sector, has invested in Revolution IT – experts in software, mobile, web and cloud-based testing.

Background to Pemba’s Capital Partners’ Investment
In June 2018 Pemba Capital invested in Revolution IT, an Australian specialist software testing company. Revolution IT’s three founders were looking for an experienced investor to support and invest in an accelerated growth plan. The company had demonstrated a market leading ability in software testing and wanted a partner that could help them further build on this position whilst increasing its offerings to cover wider solutions across the application lifecycle. In addition to supporting the organic plan, Revolution IT’s founders wanted a partner that could unlock and assist in executing transformative acquisitions.
The Vendor’s Perspective
