By Latest News, Member Spotlight

D.A. Davidson & Co. announced today that it has served as exclusive strategic and financial advisor to ConnexPay on its $20 million Series B funding from Marqeta, Inc. (NASDAQ: MQ).

ConnexPay is the first and only unified payments platform that integrates merchant acquiring, anti-fraud solutions and virtual card issuing. ConnexPay’s technology simplifies workflow and eliminates the need for pre-funded accounts.  This reduces supplier risk and the cost of accepting card payments. Their technology also safeguards consumer spend.  Headquartered in Minneapolis, MN with offices in Bonita Springs, FL, and Atlanta, GA they employ 35 professionals.

ConnexPay plans to use this investment to build out its business with online marketplaces and other commerce intermediaries.  These opportunities make up a significant portion of its current sales pipeline. As a result, the new round of funding will help expand the ConnexPay platform into Europe with increased hiring and technology development to support multiple currencies and languages.

ConnexPay was a member of The Park until 2019, when it out grew their space and moved to their new Alpharetta headquarters.  They enjoyed the flexibility of expanding in the space to meet their needs resulting in continued growth.  They also benefitted from connections made during their tenure at The Park.

SoftBank Vision Fund 2 Backs Reibus

By Latest News, Member Spotlight

Reibus International Inc., an alumni of Atlanta Tech Park,  had its valuation soar more than sevenfold after an investment from SoftBank Vision Fund 2.  It’s now $750 million.

Atlanta-based Reibus will spend the funds on expanding its marketplace and investing in associated logistics and financial-services offerings, Chief Executive Officer John Armstrong said in an interview. The startup, which already operates in Europe, plans a regional hub in Berlin and one in Southeast Asia, likely in Singapore. “We think it’s important to be local in those markets,” Armstrong said.

Reibus recently launched a mobile app and this year surpassed an annual revenue run rate of $100 million. It selected SoftBank as an investor in part due to its international reach, experience in helping marketplace-based companies scale globally and relationships with banks, said Armstrong, who co-founded the startup in 2018 with the goal of ensuring a positive culture. SoftBank’s David Boriss is set to join Reibus’s board, Armstrong said.

Reibus was a member of Atlanta Tech Park through 2020 when it graduated into its own space in Atlanta.  One of the many things that benefitted them was The Park’s ability to grow with them until it was time to further expand into their own corporate headquarters.   To learn more about The Park’s membership opportunities, click here.
