Returns of up to 4.2x for West Hill investors in Datamaran through a partial sale of their stake

Datamaran is a SAAS based platform that is designed to enable large institutions to monitor and analyse emerging non-financial risks and opportunities. The platform automates what is currently manually generated analysis performed by specialist consultancies thereby improving efficiency and accuracy.

In 2022, Datamaran raised £11.7million from two substantial US based corporate investors that are also longstanding clients. This investment round provided a 4.2x uplift in valuation for the round one West Hill investors and 3.4x uplift for those that subscribed in round two.

Whilst some West Hill introduced Datamaran shareholders have taken the opportunity to secure an attractive multiple return with a partial sale of their holding at this stage, the vast majority are holding (including all six partners of West Hill), as Datamaran potentially enters a period of rapid expansion and growth in the coming years.
