Sodius Willert, a global software provider of solutions for model-based systems engineering (MBSE), requirements management, software engineering and data connectivity solutions for complex, mission-critical systems involving hardware, software and electrical components, has received a majority investment from Initiative and Finance.

Sodius Willert has been at the forefront of innovation in the areas of MBSE, ALM and data connectivity. Their products and deep domain expertise, as well as their partnerships with IBM, Atlassian, Siemens and other large strategic software providers, has put them in a position to be trusted by brand-name customers across highly regulated industries, including aerospace & defense, automotive and medical devices.

Initiative and Finance is a France based private equity firm, which invests in growing software companies based in continental Europe. Sodius Willert will be continue to be an independent business unit within Initiative and Finance portfolio.

“To understand the true value of our solutions requires deep domain knowledge, which the team at Next Stage Advisors had. They, in conjunction with the Madison Park Group took a very strategic approach to working with us to evaluate growth options. They truly understood our value to the various companies within the engineering eco-system. This allowed them to engage the various strategic acquirers and private equity firms with the narrative which best suited their interests. In the end they helped us work to a partnership which was optimum for the Company, its investors, and its employees.“
