Inforcer, the fastest-growing software platform for Managed Service Providers (‘MSPs’), has raised £26 million in a Series B round led by Dawn Capital, Europe’s largest B2B fund, with participation from existing investors Meritech Capital.
The company, led by Jamie Daum, Will Connor, and Richard Thompson, enables MSPs and Microsoft Partners of all sizes to implement, configure, and manage Microsoft products – including specialised security and AI offerings – across their end customers, small and medium-sized businesses (‘SMBs’).
Inforcer has a unique value proposition as the cornerstone between one of the world’s largest companies, Microsoft, and MSPs that serve as trusted advisors on billions of dollars in IT spend. Inforcer is the key to unlocking AI and security adoption across SMBs globally – SMBs that form the backbone of many economies.
Microsoft has become a leader in productivity, cloud computing, security, and AI. Its best-in-class unified offering makes it a vendor of choice for 80% of SMBs, spanning 350 million users globally. Without in-house resources or the expertise to source, implement, and maintain IT products, including the Microsoft suite, SMBs look to MSPs to help them navigate their choices. This means securing and productising Microsoft 365 environments is no longer optional for MSPs. But it takes time, significant manual effort and a highly specialist skillset to achieve this at scale, leaving many MSPs unable to leverage the Microsoft platform fully. Using Inforcer solves these challenges seamlessly for all stakeholders, unlocking the business case for MSPs to service the Microsoft security and AI technology stack.
Inforcer’s cloud-first, end-to-end and collaborative product allows MSPs to easily standardise, roll out, back up, restore and manage Microsoft 365 policies across multiple Microsoft tenants, regardless of their size and complexity. Built and funded by MSP veterans and the community, Inforcer helps MSPs become and remain compliant, and develop into security and AI experts, staying at the edge of the latest technology innovations. And as AI adoption accelerates, with Inforcer, MSPs can focus on what is most important: cementing trust with their end customers and, ultimately, serving them better.
Since launching in 2022, Inforcer has been adopted by high-profile MSPs and groups across the US, EMEA and APAC, and has become an essential tool in the modern, cloud-first, MSP software stack. “Introducing customers to Business Premium, and providing them with the most valuable licensing, is only the first step. The other is to make sure those licenses stay configured and up to date. Trying to do that across 300 customers is impossible without Inforcer,” commented Gary Melvin, Security Division Lead, Nostra.
The company now has offices in the US, UK, Netherlands, Denmark and Australia, and has attracted industry heavyweights with decades of experience to join its 100-strong team. Key recent hires include Matthé Smit as Chief Product Officer, who brings 20 years of industry expertise, with stints at Autotask, Datto and Kaseya, and Christian Nagele as Chief Strategy Officer, Co-Founder of Datto RMM, a solution that now serves over 8 million end users across SMBs globally.
Notably, Inforcer has closed its Series B just months after its Series A completion, following a period of remarkable growth. Inforcer’s £14m Series A in autumn 2024 was led by Silicon Valley-based Meritech Capital – investors in Salesforce, Meta, Snowflake and Datadog. This significant Series B round was led by Dawn Capital, Europe’s leading B2B investors. The Inforcer team will use the capital to capture and build on its impressive traction, including expanding its MSP community in 2025.
