Horsefly, a Liverpool, England-based artificial intelligence-based talent analytics platform, secured an investment from private equity partner LDC as it targets international growth. The transaction marks a successful exit and a strong return for Mercia.
LDC’s investment was led by Jacob Leone and Camilla Greenwood, who will both join the board alongside incoming Chair David Gilbertson
The investment will enable Horsefly to further strengthen its footprint in the US and take the business to the next level. In recent years the business has been expanding rapidly and made significant inroads into the US market.
Will Crandle, Founder, and CEO of Horsefly, said: “We are really proud of our growth in the last few years, and I’d like to thank Keith Jones, our co-founder and seed investor, and Mercia not only for funding our early years but also for appointing my most crucial mentor as Chair, Rod Hyde, who helped our brilliant team establish Horsefly as a leading talent analytics platform.”
