Arrowroot Capital Announces Successful Exit from Protecht Following Strategic Growth and Expansion

MIAMI, March 26, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Arrowroot Capital Management, a leading private equity firm specializing in growth-stage software investments, today announces the successful exit of its investment in Protecht following the company's US$280 million growth investment by PSG. Arrowroot Capital's US$30 million minority investment played a pivotal role in accelerating Protecht's expansion into the U.S. market, strengthening its leadership team, and supporting key financial initiatives.

Since its investment, Arrowroot Capital has worked closely with Protecht to drive strategic growth, including hiring and building out the U.S. team, facilitating expansion efforts, and supporting a debt capital raise to fuel the company's next stage of growth. Through this partnership, Protecht successfully executed a three-year strategic plan, positioning the company for its next phase of development under PSG.

"Our journey into the U.S. market would not have been possible without the trust that Arrowroot Capital placed in us," said David Bergmark, CEO of Protecht. "Their minority investment wasn't just financial - it was a vote of confidence in our potential and a catalyst for transformation in both our product offering and global expansion. Ultimately, our growth, metrics, and ability to hit our targets under a mutually agreed three-year plan were recognized by PSG as we went to market for our next growth investment. Thank you, Matthew Safaii and team, we owe you our deepest gratitude."

Jason Phillips, COO of Protecht, added, "We are deeply grateful for the unwavering support and strategic partnership provided by Arrowroot Capital during our early stages of growth. Arrowroot's belief in our vision and their investment in our people were instrumental to our growth and success. As we embark on this new chapter with PSG, we reflect on the invaluable contributions Arrowroot made to our journey. Thank you for being a cornerstone of our success."

Matthew Safaii, Founder and Managing Partner at Arrowroot Capital, commented, "We originally met Protecht at an inflection point of global-expansion, we felt the energy from their team and conviction in their customer-centric mission. Arrowroot was extremely excited to partner with the team and strategically support global expansion and hiring. This transaction further reinforces Arrowroot's ability to support companies in the APAC region with a specific focus on taking their product internationally. We're very excited for this next chapter of Protecht and will continue to cheer the team on."
