Fulcrum Equity Partners has successfully exited the Orlando-based integrated payments provider Fattmerchant to Greater Sum Ventures after three years of explosive growth.
ATLANTA, Dec. 7, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Fulcrum Equity Partners has announced the successful sale of their investment in Fattmerchant, the award-winning integrated payments provider, to entrepreneurial family office and growth equity firm Greater Sum Ventures (GSV).
The new round of funding will enable Fattmerchant to expand their investment in innovation, and start a new chapter in their growth. CEO Suneera Madhani, President Sal Rehmetullah, and the founding team will continue to lead the company.
"We are grateful to the team at Fulcrum Equity Partners for their guidance as we navigated the early stages of the business," says Madhani. "Their expertise in FinTech and SaaS proved invaluable in defining our product strategy and evolution into a PayFac. We look forward to our next phase with the experienced team at GSV."
Commenting on the exit, Fulcrum Partner Philip Lewis states "Fattmerchant's rapid growth is driven by the leadership's team devotion to culture, coaching and hiring the right people. We are proud to have been a part of their story and are excited to watch the team continue to build on the strong foundation they have laid."
Fattmerchant's explosive growth was sustained with each new innovative product spurring them forward. With solutions such as Omni, they are able to offer businesses a unified commerce experience to manage their operations and facilitate omni-channel payment acceptance. The company's newly launched Omni Connect offering provides independent software vendors (ISVs) the ability to integrate payments into their product suite and operate as a payment facilitator via a single API, including bank sponsorship, merchant application and enrollment, risk management, settlement, and reporting & analytics.
Jim Douglass, Partner at Fulcrum, maintains that "Fattmerchant's story is a testament to their unparalleled ability to fill a gap in their market and provide simplicity and insight in a complicated world of payments. We'll truly miss our partnership with Suneera and Sal but wish them all the best in the next leg of their journey."
