VoluBill Raises 10.5 Million Euros to Fund Aggressive Growth Strategy

Posted on September 26, 2007 Written by oss

VoluBill, a leading independent supplier of “on the network” Mobile Data charging and control solutions, has successfully raised 10.5 million Euros in venture capital funding. XAnge Private Equity led the round, which included all existing investors; Sofinnova Partners, Sofinnova Ventures, Seventure, DVCG and Argo Capital.

VoluBill has captured a significant share of the market in the fast growing Mobile Data charging space with its unique “on the wire” charging and control technology. Business for VoluBill has quadrupled over the past two years and now has 75 employees and over 25 customers. With a global distribution channel in place, the company is keen to exploit this momentum by unlocking further potential in its technology. The capital raised will be used to fund an acquisition strategy designed to obtain technology that will provide valuable applications on top of its core products.

Commenting on the new financing, XAnge Private Equity Partner Nicolas Rose, said: “We are very pleased to be investing in VoluBill at this time. All the ingredients are right; the company has a great technology, a clear strategy, a strong management team and they operate in a market space that has clearly taken off. We look forward to being part of this exciting growth phase”

VoluBill supplies it’s network based charging solutions to Mobile Telecommunications operators around the world including many Orange affiliates, Movistar, Bharti Airtel – India’s largest Mobile operator, Orascom , Celcom Malaysia and Digicel. What is unique about VoluBill’s solutions is that they have one foot in the network and one foot in the back office. This is the only effective way to achieve true real time and thus alleviate revenue loss and fraud windows completely when charging for the vast range of Mobile Data services.

“We are delighted to have such a strong syndicate of investors backing us at this exciting point in our evolution,” said John Aalbers, CEO of VoluBill. “This demonstrated confidence in VoluBill will enable us to execute the next ambitious phase of our growth strategy and build upon the strong results so far. Telecommunications operators have recognized the unique value we bring to them and they are telling us what else they would like us to do for them – this new funding will allow us to satisfy the market demand”.

For this transaction, VoluBill was advised by Clipperton Finance, an advisory firm specializing in High-Tech and Media.
