Keepit, the world’s only vendor-neutral and truly immutable cloud dedicated to SaaS data protection, has announced a strategic financial update to upsize and refinance its credit facilities amounting to $60 million USD from the Export and Investment Fund of Denmark (EIFO) and HSBC Innovation Banking.
This move is designed to leverage the recent $50 million USD funding round from December 2024 .
Financing overview and strategic rationale
The refinancing plan consists of upsizing by $20 million USD and refinancing $40 million USD of existing HSBC Innovation Banking/EIFO facilities. The total facility will increase from $40 million pre-financing to $60 million post-financing with only a portion of the previous amount drawn today. The company aims to build upon the momentum from the funding round in December 2024, reflecting strong growth.
Company position and future outlook
Keepit is positioned strongly with cash reserves projected to remain robust for years ahead. The company has experienced significant growth since the previous year. Keepit is expanding its market focus towards larger clients, having demonstrated relevance and value to this segment. The additional funds raised will be directed toward future-proofing the organization, supporting ongoing product development, innovation, and efforts to deepen market penetration.
Morten Felsvang, Keepit co-founder and chief executive officer, said:
“At Keepit, we are committed to driving innovation and ensuring the highest level of data protection for our clients. This strategic financial move not only strengthens our financial position but also enables us to continue our growth trajectory and expand our market presence.
