Munich—Global law firm Dentons advised Switzerland-based software company Contentserv Group on a significant investment by Investcorp Technology Partners, a leading investor in the European mid-market technology sector. The investment will enable Contentserv, which is a global leader in product experience software, to accelerate its growth and expand its international footprint. Contentserv’s co-founders continue to be invested alongside Investcorp and will continue to lead the business. Closing of the transaction is subject to anti-trust clearance.

Contentserv is a software company which enables retailers and brands to develop groundbreaking product experiences by fully exploiting the potential offered by advanced technologies. The company’s vision is to make the daily lives of marketers and product teams easier by providing them with an advanced, complete, business-focused product communication system and platform. Contentserv, which is headquartered in Baar, Switzerland, has grown by an average of 30 percent annually over the past years. It is now a global organization with more than 400 employees, with 11 offices across Europe, plus additional offices in the US, Australia, China, Japan, the Philippines, and India. So far, Contentserv’s rapid growth was achieved without external funding, but now the company has decided to partner with an experienced technology investor to accelerate its growth and pace of innovation. 

Investcorp is a leading global manager of alternative investments. The firm focuses on generating value through a disciplined investment approach in four lines of business: private equity, real estate, absolute return investments and credit management.

Dentons’ Munich partner Thomas Strassner and his team, who have a long standing relationship with Contentserv and its founders, advised the client on all legal aspects of the transaction. „Tom’s team was very well coordinated, with a profound tech background, always willing to go the extra mile so that we managed to turn around this significant transaction within a very ambitious time frame”, said Armin Dressler, CEO of Contentserv.
