Funding to support Vamosa’s future growth and development plans in Scotland and internationally

Glasgow, Scotland – 14 August 2009 – Maven Capital Partners (“Maven”) as joint manager of the Capital for Enterprise Fund (“CfE Fund”) has today announced its £1million investment in Vamosa, a provider of software and solutions for Enterprise Content Governance (ECoG).

The £75 million CfE Fund is a government initiative launched earlier this year to help small and medium size enterprises (“SMEs”) in the UK gain access to the financial support required to bridge the funding gap caused by the credit crisis. In April 2009, it was announced that £60 million from the CfE Fund would be allocated to two separate £30 million funds, one of which is managed by Maven. A further £15 million is being managed as a co-investment fund by Capital for Enterprise Fund Managers.

The investment in Vamosa is one of the first investments to be made by the CfE Fund, and will support Vamosa’s growth and development plans to become a leading, worldwide provider of Enterprise Content Governance (ECoG) solutions, the end-to-end process of creating, implementing and maintaining content quality standards. 

With the recent launch of Check & Fix, the first web site content monitoring service that checks and automatically fixes errors, Vamosa is well placed to provide large businesses and Governments worldwide with solutions to implement content management and compliance policies.

“With this investment, we will help to define the global ECoG sector,” said George Knox, Managing Director of Vamosa. “It is our vision for a Scottish business to ensure multi-national organisations and governments receive the highest return on investment from their content assets. Receiving this capital injection from Maven is a proof-point to the opportunities available to Vamosa.”
