TPG Announces $228 Million Strategic Growth Investment in Sayari

Sayari, a counterparty and supply chain risk intelligence provider trusted by government agencies, multinational corporations, and financial institutions, and TPG (NASDAQ: TPG), a global alternative asset management firm, today announced that they have signed a definitive agreement for TPG Growth, the firm's middle market and growth equity platform, to make an up to $228 million strategic majority investment in Sayari. Sayari's founders, employees, and existing investors will retain a significant stake in the company.

Founded in 2015, the Sayari platform integrates global corporate and supply chain data to surface risk insights for investigations, analytics, and supply chain risk management. Today, Sayari's platform is trusted by users from across global regulators, law enforcement, and national security agencies, as well as over 100 of the world's largest public and private companies.

Sayari has seen explosive growth since the release of its platform in 2020 with consecutive rankings by Deloitte and Inc. Magazine as one of the fastest growing technology companies in North America.

"As the global business landscape continues to evolve, companies are facing an increasingly complex set of risks and are being held accountable for the counterparties with which they partner," said Mike Zappert, Partner at TPG. "Sayari sits at the intersection of these trends. Through its unique data assets built over many years, Sayari's platform drives greater insights into emerging threats and gives organizations more power to protect the people, businesses, and nations they serve."

"Whether it's a regulatory body or Fortune 500 company, our platform arms leaders with the information they need to make decisions that promote safer global commerce," said Farley Mesko, Co-Founder and CEO of Sayari. "This strategic partnership marks a crucial milestone in Sayari's journey to revolutionize the landscape of risk intelligence technology."

This investment comes at a time of considerable growth for Sayari. In 2023, the company was awarded contracts in the U.S., UK, Canada, Australia, and the EU, supporting trade enforcement, forced labor risk, Military End Use restrictions, and complex investigations. As regulatory scrutiny over global supply chains has spread, the company's expansion into international governments has accelerated 950% over the past year.
