Apax Global Alpha Limited

 

Funds advised by Apax announce investment in Faculty

 

On 24 May 2021, The Apax Digital Fund ("ADF"), in which AGA is a limited partner, announced an investment in Faculty, a leading British artificial intelligence ("AI") company. The investment is part of a £30m growth funding round led by ADF.

On a look through basis, AGA is expected to invest approximately €2.0m in the company. Note that these figures relate to AGA's look through position of the Apax Digital Fund's overall investment in Faculty and are stated before taking into account any closing adjustments and are translated into Euro based on today's exchange rates where applicable.1

Founded in 2014, Faculty has grown rapidly to become one of the world's most experienced teams of AI and machine learning specialists, able to support any organisation to make AI effective and drive value. The company has a specialist team that includes over 50+ PhDs with experience of working with over 200 customers across the globe.

The investment will help accelerate new product development, expand Faculty's geographic footprint, and drive the expansion of the company's 'AI as a Service' model. The investment will also support the rollout of Faculty's new learning and development programme, which will sit at the centre of the business to help develop technical and commercial talent as the company scales.

AGA, whose shares are listed on the London Stock Exchange, provides investors with access to a diversified portfolio of private equity funds advised by Apax as well as a focused portfolio of debt and equity investments ("Derived Investments"). In 2017, AGA made a commitment of $50m to ADF.
