“This funding from Grafton Capital is an enormous vote of confidence in Xtremepush,” said Tommy Kearns, CEO and Co-Founder of Xtremepush.

“It validates and recognises the calibre of our technology, our people, and the ambitious growth plans we have for the company globally. It also gives us very welcome access to Grafton Capital’s vast knowledge and experience in the growth stage development of SaaS companies like ours, and will allow us to move ahead with aggressive expansion in overseas markets, including North America, the Middle East and Asia.”

Since its inception in 2014, Grafton Capital has invested over £130m in European software and technology companies. It usually invests between £5m and £20m in newer companies that offer online platforms and software.
