And another company acquired coming from efounders, a startup studio specialized in SaaS.

I think efounders track record is really interesting, out of 19 companies, 4 acquisition and 3 other project that seems to work very well (AirCall, Front and Spendesk).

All their companies are here for the curious: https://www.efounders.com/companies
