Midaxo Builds Strong Momentum During First Half of 2023

Major Product Update, Continued Customer Growth, and New Funding Demonstrate Accelerating Opportunity for Corporate Dealmaking Cloud

BOSTON, July 26, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Midaxo, provider of the leading software platform for corporate dealmaking, today announced that it continued to grow its customer base and expand its leadership in the corporate development platform space during the first half of 2023. The company doubled the number of new customers signed from Q1 to Q2, completed a new funding round and released an extensive product update that enables customers to easily move dealmaking to the cloud while expanding market opportunities for Midaxo. In the months following the product release, the company has successfully migrated 100% of its customers to the new platform, which Midaxo will also use to deliver new AI-powered capabilities to the broader dealmaking industry.

“Corporate dealmaking is now widely recognized as the fastest, lowest risk way to drive inorganic corporate growth, but only if dealmaking teams can optimize how they identify targets, conduct due diligence and manage post-merger integrations,” said Midaxo CEO Jude McColgan. “In an economic environment that demands increasing dealmaking speed while lowering risk, Midaxo, the Cloud for Corporate Development, is being recognized as a foundational platform for achieving greater insight into targets, automating due diligence, and integrating acquisitions efficiently. I’m extremely proud of the level of execution we have achieved over the first half of 2023, and I expect even better results in the second half of the year as we begin to deliver new AI-powered capabilities.”
