Perwyn picks up VIXIO from Kester Capital

Perwyn plans to support VIXIO's growth by expanding the depth of its intelligence platforms and by moving into adjacent markets.

  • VIXIO is a provider of regulatory and business intelligence to the global payments and gambling industries
  • Kester Capital initially backed VIXIO, formerly ComplianceOnline, in 2019
  • VIXIO offers PaymentsCompliance and GamblingCompliance subscription products

Perwyn bought VIXIO Regulatory Intelligence, a provider of regulatory and business intelligence to global payments and gambling industries, from Kester Capital.

London-headquartered VIXIO aims to enable regulatory and legal teams around the world to manage risk and discover market opportunities by providing information, data and analysis through its PaymentsCompliance and GamblingCompliance subscription products.

Perwyn plans to support VIXIO’s growth by expanding the depth of its intelligence platforms, increasing geographic penetration, widening the product set and by moving into adjacent markets.

“When we met the team at VIXIO we were immediately struck by the unique value of the business, and by the sophistication of its research capabilities,” said Mark Deed, investment manager at Perwyn. “No other provider of regulatory intelligence is solely focused on payments and gambling, two very heavily regulated markets which require a laser sharp focus, giving it market leading capabilities.”

London-based Perwyn makes buyout and growth capital investments in four sectors: technology, services, healthcare and food & ingredients.

Kester Capital, also based in London, focuses on healthcare, information, data, and technology businesses.
