Kennet invested €6.5 million in goviral in March 2009 and was the company’s only external shareholder. The acquisition of goviral will provide Kennet’s latest fund (Kennet III, which closed in 2008) with a strong return on its investment and is the fund’s second exit in the past three months.

“The founders and management team at goviral have done a terrific job at building a valuable business without any outside capital. In fact, our 2009 investment was used solely to purchase existing shares from an early shareholder, and was non-dilutive to the company’s founders and management. goviral is a 100% bootstrapped business and we are very proud to have been associated with the company.” said Kennet Managing Director, Michael Elias, who joined the goviral board at the time of Kennet’s investment.
