St. John’s based risk management software leader ClearRisk announced today the completion of $3.3 million in combined growth capital and new sales. BDC Capital has renewed its support to the company and provided $1.65 million in growth capital. The balance of the investment comes from the Province of Newfoundland and Labrador, which was previously announced, plus RBC and ClearRisk shareholders. In addition, ClearRisk announced three new sales totalling $800,000 in contract value including Avenue Living Asset Management Ltd., of Alberta, and two large Canadian municipal insurance pools. The funds will be used for a major growth initiative to continue building on recent successes.
ClearRisk CEO Craig Rowe
“ClearRisk’s success to date is in large part due to solid partnerships. We are grateful that BDC and BDC Capital have been a valuable partner to us since the company was founded. They are an important part of our growth and we would not have achieved our success to date without them. In addition to capital, they bring great value to our relationship in the form of expertise. Combined with the continued support of two other valued partners, RBC and the Province, ClearRisk is achieving considerable growth. Recent wins like Avenue Living Asset Management and others are just a few examples of how we are helping great organizations with their risk management software and data solutions needs. We are obsessed with optimizing our customers’ risk to keep people and assets from harm to make our customers more successful”
