Momentum, the transaction boutique, has advised VEDA GmbH, a leading provider of software solutions for digital HR management, on the acquisition of blink.it GmbH. The advice covered comprehensive legal due diligence, contract drafting, and negotiation as part of VEDA’s Buy-and-Build strategy initiated in 2024.
Dr. Ralf Gräßler, Managing Director of VEDA, stated: “The acquisition of blink.it is an important strategic step. We will continue to expand our product portfolio to provide our clients with innovative solutions for managing their HR needs. With blink.it, we have gained a strong partner that aligns perfectly with our vision.”
Michael Witzke, Managing Director of blink.it, added: “We are delighted to join the VEDA family. With VEDA’s support, we can further develop our product and grow faster while maintaining the quality our customers rely on.”
“As digitalization continues to gain importance in the HR sector, we are thrilled to have supported VEDA GmbH in this exciting transaction as part of their Buy-and-Build strategy,” said Philipp Weber, Private Equity and M&A Partner at Momentum.
Momentum’s relationship with VEDA GmbH began when the firm advised VEDA’s majority shareholder, Investcorp, on its acquisition of the company early last year.
