INVESTORS | Lead Edge Capital
Closing the books is the least automated thing finance teams do.
IGM Technology builds Gravity, a cloud platform for financial close management that automates the accuracy of financial reporting across complex, multi-entity organisations. Government entities and large enterprises are among its customers, which means the reporting has to survive audit.
the engagement
Lead Edge Capital introduced 33eleven Partners to IGM Technology in 2024 for a Vice President of Finance search.
PLACEMENTS
-
A finance leader for a company that sells financial close software. The bar is unusual: the internal function has to be exemplary, because customers notice whether a vendor runs its own books the way its product says they should be run.
PARTNERSHIP INSIGHTS
Thirty-eight days. The second-fastest search in our book.
Speed like that has one cause, and it is never the market. Lead Edge had worked with us across five other portfolio companies before this one, so the brief arrived already sharp. We were not learning what good looks like to this investor.
We look for sponsors who tell us what they actually want, and we have found that the relationship is what produces that. By the fifth or sixth engagement, a search starts where most searches reach in month two.
