Warburg Pincus Invests In NEOGOV, The Leading Talent Management Software Platform For The Public Sector

NEW YORK and EL SEGUNDO, Calif., Oct. 18, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Warburg Pincus, a global private equity firm focused on growth investing, today announced that funds affiliated with the firm have invested in NEOGOV, the leading talent management software platform focused on government, education and public sector clients.  Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.

Founded in 2000, NEOGOV provides market-leading software-as-a-service (SaaS) talent management solutions to automate and streamline the recruitment, onboarding and performance evaluation processes for government and other public sector institutions.  NEOGOV's software is designed specifically for the unique human capital management requirements of these complex and regulated end-markets and serves more than 1,500 organizations including over 40% of the largest U.S. cities and more than 20 state customers. 

"The team at NEOGOV has built the leading provider of human capital management software to the public sector," said Alex Berzofsky, Managing Director, Warburg Pincus.  "We are excited to invest in the company and partner with the NEOGOV management team as they continue to broaden the product platform and identify additional opportunities to serve their large and growing customer base."

"Warburg Pincus has deep experience in cloud-based software and the firm will be a valuable partner as we continue to focus on growing our whole talent management suite tailored for the local government sector," said Damir Davidovic, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of NEOGOV.  "With this investment, we plan to enhance our product offerings, serve more customers and accelerate growth of the business."

"As more companies continue to use SaaS-based systems to deliver HR solutions, we see a significant growth opportunity for NEOGOV given it is configurable specifically for the needs of the public sector, where fewer organizations have adopted these technologies," said Brian Chang, Principal, Warburg Pincus.
