GovGrant is a research and development tax adviser based in Hertfordshire, England.
Foresight’s exit from Datapath generated an 11.7x return and an IRR of 38 percent, while its exit from GovGrant generated a 4.4x return and an IRR of 24 percent, according to a release.
Datapath’s revenues increased to £25 million (€28.63 million; $31.21 million) from £7 million since Foresight’s initial investment in 2007.
