Ftapi wants to set a new security standard for workflow automation with its software solution, which every company, authority, and healthcare facility needs. The platform enables secure sending, receiving, and sharing of data as well as the automation of work processes, with sensitive information always protected. According to the company, over 2,000 companies and more than one million users already use the Ftapi products SecuMails, SecuRooms, SecuForms, and SecuFlows.
Following a growth capital round in October 2021, the company can now report another successful financing of 65 million euros. The round includes growth investor Armira Growth and Tikehau Capital, a global asset manager. The aim of this financing is to further advance Ftapi’s growth in the European market and thus strengthen European sovereignty in managing sensitive data. The investment is intended to further support the expansion of Ftapi’s product portfolio and drive strategic acquisitions. In addition, the market position in the core markets of Germany, Austria, and Switzerland is to be expanded, and expansion into further European markets is planned.
“Clear focus on European technologies and values”
Ari Albertini, CEO of Ftapi, explains:
“The strategic partnership with Armira Growth and Tikehau Capital underscores our clear focus on European technologies and values. Our mission is to give our customers full control over their data while maintaining the highest standards for compliance and cybersecurity.”
Thomas Friedberger, Deputy CEO of Tikehau Capital, adds:
“Tikehau Capital has long-standing experience in supporting companies that promote digital trust and data sovereignty. We are delighted to work with Ftapi and to support the company in further accelerating growth, strengthening market leadership in secure data sharing, and further advancing Europe’s digital independence.”
“An impressive example of the potential and significance of the German tech ecosystem”
And Christian Figge, Managing Partner at Armira Growth, adds:
“Ftapi’s success story is an impressive example of the potential and significance of the German tech ecosystem in strengthening digital and economic independence. We are delighted to accompany Ari and the entire Ftapi team on their journey to becoming a European tech champion.”
As part of the financing, Daniel Niesler, founder and long-time CEO of Ftapi, steps down as managing director but remains part of the company as a shareholder and member of the advisory board. In parallel, long-time investor Yttrium has sold all its shares.
