The future is video: IPV secures £4m investment to accelerate global growth

CAMBRIDGE, UK, 5 DECEMBER 2019: Media asset management software provider IPV has confirmed details of new growth capital that will enable it to further expand the global reach of its acclaimed MAM product, Curator. The £4m Series A round was led by SME-focused venture capital firm Mobeus Equity Partners, with additional ongoing finance secured from Calculus Capital.

Mark Fagan, IPV CEO said, “Multiple industries are rapidly expanding their use of video but are facing significant challenges during the content creation process.

This capital will enable IPV to deliver the benefits of Curator to an even wider audience, expanding into areas of digital marketing, customer experience and enterprise video management. 

IPV has built a market-leading client base that includes leading players such as HBO, Monster Energy, NASA, Nintendo, PGA Tour and Turner who use Curator to manage and create significant and complex video content across their organisations, wherever in the world their creative teams are based. 

Rowan Grobler, Investment Manager for Mobeus, comments: “We are delighted to be leading an investment round into a business with a best-in-class product and a senior team of proven operators that, with further capital to support the sales and marketing function, will be well-positioned to target the digital marketing market both in the US and UK.”
