Success stories

As a trusted provider of video content for school and university curriculums, BoClips was looking to expand its operations in the United States. Acquiring Boston-based Listenwise, the US market leader in curriculum-geared podcasts, was the perfect opportunity to do so.

BoClips turned to Espresso for a £7 million credit facility to help fund the acquisition. The facility allowed the company to complete the transaction quickly, positioning it to offer an even more compelling solution, drive value, and unlock cross-selling opportunities.

Today, BoClips’ unique educational video and audio content offering is helping accelerate the company’s growth in the US and around the world.

As the leading Integration Platform as a Service (iPaaS) for contact centers, Tenfold integrates with CRMs like Salesforce and Microsoft Dynamics, and voice providers, such as Avaya and RingCentral, to create a unified customer profile. In early 2021, the company secured a $12 million credit facility from Espresso Capital to accelerate its marketing efforts, make key hires across the business, and drive growth.

By allowing Tenfold to further scale its business and extend its runway, the facility helped put the company in a position of strength when it was acquired by LivePerson, Inc., (Nasdaq: LPSN) later that year.

As a result, the company achieved a higher valuation, which ultimately led to a better outcome for the Tenfold team and its existing investors Andreessen Horowitz and Next Coast Ventures.

Hologram develops and delivers cloud-based internet connectivity solutions for IoT device management. Its solutions enable makers, OEMs, and systems integrators to connect devices to the internet through cellular networks.

Looking to pay grow the business, Hologram secured a credit facility from Espresso in September 2020, which helped put the company in a stronger position as it pursued its next equity raise.

Just over a year later, Hologram closed a massive $65 million Series B in a round led by Tiger Global, with participation from Bullpen Capital, NextView Ventures, and Mucker Capital.

As a broker between merchants, payment processors, and banks, PaymentCloud wanted to take advantage of the tremendous growth opportunities it was seeing within its business. It needed capital to pursue that growth, but didn’t want to suffer any dilution to get it. That made venture debt the obvious choice.

Working with Espresso, PaymentCloud secured a $10 million credit facility that allowed the company to grow its core business by making strategic investments in marketing and product development, while also expanding its team with important new hires. 

Today, the company is bigger and stronger than ever before and in a better overall position to raise equity, explore M&A opportunities, or pursue many other strategic objectives.

In early 2022, the company took a $15 million credit facility from Espresso Capital, using the funds to make strategic investments into its core platform while also expanding its offerings into other verticals. The facility provides Matic with greater flexibility ahead of its next equity raise.
