PRESS RELEASE

NEW YORK (PRWEB) DECEMBER 15, 2017

Lightview Capital, announced today that it has completed a recapitalization of NexusTek, a leading Denver-based IT managed services firm providing services throughout the west, to Abry Partners, a Boston-based private equity firm. Headquartered in Denver, NexusTek provides regional IT support and outsourcing including help desk, cloud services, VoIP, cyber security services, server monitoring and Microsoft Dynamics 365 CRM services to small and medium-sized business (SMBs).

With two fully staffed, geographically diverse, Network Operations Centers (NOC), designed for business continuity and operating 24 hours a day, NexusTek provides quality IT support and monitoring to its expanding client-base. Rich Erickson, Managing Director at Lightview Capital commented “NexusTek’s business has rapidly evolved during its partnership with Lightview, starting from our initial investment in a bootstrapped founder-led MSP in Denver to becoming the leading MSP in the Mountain West region.”

Since 2014, when Lightview Capital along with its co-investors, bought majority control of NexusTek, the company has nearly tripled in revenue and profitability. Today, Nexustek serves over 1,000 customers and has 100+ employees. Conor Mullett, Managing Director for Lightview, added: “The company operates in a multi-billion dollar, highly fragmented industry ripe for consolidation. Enhancing the NexusTek’s ability to scale and helping the business to expand through M&A with 3 acquisitions in the past several years in Denver and Phoenix was paramount to our strategy in building the company.”

Mike Jenner, NexusTek’s Chief Executive Officer, joined the firm through the acquisition of Illumen and led the execution of the growth strategy. Jenner commented, “Lightview has proven to be a trusted and valuable partner. With their support, our management team realized significant improvements in the business in a relatively short period of time. We are very appreciative of their contribution to our business. We even managed to have a little fun along the way.”
