Fremont, Calif. — Private equity firm Great Hill Partners said on Monday it has paid $115 million to acquire Fremont-based Plimus, which builds and manages online businesses for software publishers, web hosting companies and online retailers. Plimus had been owned by a shareholder group including Susquehanna Growth Equity, as well as the company’s founders, key management members and employees.
Plimus, which has a user base of more than 6,500 small- and medium-sized businesses, will continue to be led by its current senior management team, led by CEO Hagai Tal.
“[Plimus] represents an exciting opportunity to capitalize on the favorable trends in the digital goods and content sectors,” said Chris Busby, a principal at Great Hill. “We are excited to partner with management and will provide the additional capital and resources necessary to help Plimus expand as well as pursue strategic opportunities.”
