Dejero undertakes a minority recapitalization to accelerate growth

Vertu Capital and Ubicom Ventures have joined forces to lead the minority recapitalization of 德赫罗‘s $60 million business. The goal is to “pave the way” to accelerate the company’s growth.

Founded by Bogdan Frusina in 2008, and led by Bruce Anderson, CEO, 德赫罗 is headquartered in Waterloo, Ontario, one of Canada’s top tech hubs, with offices in the US and UK, and a global distribution network. The company’s live video and real-time data transmission solutions are used by leading broadcasters, production companies, public safety and government agencies, along with enterprise customers around the globe who need uninterrupted connectivity for their critical applications.

Lisa Mechior, founder and managing partner of Vertu, comments: “Canada’s technology ecosystem is thriving, and we are excited to be playing a vital role by actively partnering with premier companies that are at critical points of inflection in their growth and scale. Dejero exemplifies a Vertu investment; the company has an established world-leading technology solution and is accelerating its expansion into multiple global markets. We are thrilled to be partnering with Bruce, Bogdan and the entire Dejero management team on this exciting new chapter for the company.”

Growth and consolidation

Mr. Anderson adds: “Vertu is the perfect partner for us. They bring deep software sector expertise and decades of experience investing in large, global tech businesses, so they understand where Dejero is heading. We are excited to collaborate with the Vertu team on our plans to accelerate our growth and achieve our strategic goals.”

“We are thrilled about the opportunity that Dejero brings to our investors,” concludes Ubicom managing director Terry Thib. “Our mission is to identify disruptive technologies that can be deployed on a global scale. Through our partnership with Bruce and Bogdan, we are excited to play a critical role in the evolution of Dejero as it continues to tackle burgeoning critical connectivity markets that will benefit from its cutting-edge technology.”
