Sell-Side M&A & Series A

Kippy is a pet technology company that develops and manufactures IoT devices capable of real-time tracking and monitoring the health and motor activity of pets. Its SIM-on-chip technology and dedicated machine-to-machine network allowed the company to scale in Italy and Europe.

Having previously supported the company in raising €5 million across two fundraising rounds with investors including Oltre Impact, Azimut, and Lumen Ventures, Growth Capital was appointed as exclusive financial advisor for the company in a sell-side M&A. Kippy was acquired by Datamars SA, a Swiss provider of solutions for the pet care markets, backed by the PE fund Columna Capital (AUM of €1B).

Growth Capital coordinated the full sell-side transaction execution, including due diligence, definition of the financial structure of the M&A transaction, and coordination of the entire process and the parties involved.

Prior to the transaction, Kippy took part in the third batch of the A-Road acceleration program.
