The Blue Horizon transaction provides Nirvana with a long-term partner to support the Company’s continued growth and delivery of innovative products to investment managers, family offices, hedge funds, and asset management clients.
Founder and CEO, Shams Karim, stated, “We’re excited about our partnership with Blue Horizon. They have a long-term investment strategy and an impressive group of former software executives that will mentor and support the existing Nirvana team. The capital injection will allow us to invest in sales & marketing, be more competitive, and accelerate our investment in technology, services, and people. My team and I will continue to work hard, strive to delight our customers and gain the industry’s trust.”
