Twenty20 Capital Support

We recognised Talos360 as a business which was going through a significant growth phase at a time when technology in the sector was ever more in demand. To support the brand’s evolution we supported the business with financial backing and a programme of management and operational consolidation.

Fast growing and with considerable ambitions, the leadership team within Talos360 identified the need for a new phase of equity support. In 2022, to support the next stage of its growth journey, they made the decision to partner with leading mid-market private equity firm LDC.

At the time of exiting our portfolio, Talos360 had increased its revenue by 56%, which included a 94% increase in tech revenue and a turnover of more than £10m.
