With the strategic support of Main, LuxSci will strengthen its market position and its capabilities to meet the complex needs of modern healthcare organizations. In addition to fostering organic growth in the North American market, LuxSci and Main will explore opportunities for strategic acquisitions to expand the product portfolio and accelerate internationalization.

Erik Kangas (PhD), Founder & CEO of LuxSci, expressed his enthusiasm for the partnership, stating: “Having led LuxSci through 23 profitable bootstrapped years, I am extremely excited to partner with Main. Their resources and expertise will enable us to expand our technology and deepen our market penetration at a time when the demand for high-security communications solutions has never been greater.”

Main has demonstrated strong performance in both the healthcare and security markets, evidenced by investments such as Enovation (connected care solutions with over 350 employees across Europe) and Pointsharp (security and identity access management software with over 200 employees in Northwestern Europe). Main will leverage its experience and network in these markets to support LuxSci in its continued growth.

Daan Visscher, Co-Head of Main Capital North America, concludes: “We are thrilled to partner with the LuxSci team in spearheading the company’s next phase of growth. We are impressed by LuxSci’s double-digit recurring revenue growth, the underlying product, the management team’s capabilities, and the unwavering commitment to customers. We see ample opportunities to drive value through honing operational excellence, accelerating organic growth, and executing select strategic acquisitions.
