SEATTLE, Feb. 01, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Corum announces that their client, France-based Carenity, the developer of a social platform supporting patients and caregivers, has been acquired by German Private Equity firm BID Equity. BID Equity is merging three of its portfolio companies—XClinical, Fortress Medical Systems and Carenity—creating a new data science company delivering end-to-end coverage of the clinical development process.
"The M&A process with Carenity started in March, and despite the global pandemic, there was very strong interest from strategic life sciences acquirers as well as several private equity funds, seeking bolt-on deals. By creating a global demand for Carenity, Corum's process allowed our client to choose the right buyer among many interested parties," explains Corum Senior Vice President Jaber Tannay, who led the deal. "We are happy that our client chose BID Equity. They are the ones that are likely to generate the most synergies from this transaction considering their bolt-on acquisition strategy."
Corum will further discuss this deal and the overall M&A market for software and related technology companies during Corum's monthly webcast on February 11th: Private Equity Panel Discussion.
