N-able Technologies®, a global leader in remote monitoring and management (RMM) automation software for managed service providers (MSPs) and IT departments, recently announced it has received a strategic growth equity investment from Accel-KKR, a leading technology-focused private equity firm. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
The investment will be used to fund the growth and expansion of N-able's industry-leading RMM platform and to fuel continued international growth, as well as, to fund an aggressive acquisition program.
"This is an exciting time in N-able's history and a game-changing investment that provides us with the capital to accelerate our strategic growth plan and continue offering our MSP partners the business-building resources, comprehensive tools and technology innovation to remove the barriers that limit small and midsize businesses from taking advantage of managed IT services," said Gavin Garbutt, CEO of N-able Technologies. "Our goal is to further enable our 2,200 MSP partners to achieve 100 percent IT coverage within their markets and ensure they are recognized as the most successful MSPs in the world."

Today, over 2,200 MSPs use N-able's N-central RMM technology to manage over 52,000 small and medium sized businesses, which represents 175% growth in less than 2 years. N-able's international presence has grown substantially over the last three years and now represents 40 percent of its business. Headquartered in Ottawa, N-able has offices in North America, the U.K., the Netherlands and Australia. The Company recently announced its annual Partner Summit, which is expected to draw 450 MSPs to Phoenix, AZ on October 14 - 16.
"Capitalizing on N-able's market-leading technology platform and strong partner network, Gavin Garbutt and the N-able management team have built an innovative and industry leading company committed to growth by delivering superior value to its MSP partners," said Greg Williams, Managing Director of Accel-KKR. "We look forward to partnering with N-able as it continues to build upon its market leadership position, differentiated value proposition, and track-record of strong growth."
