Onomondo’s platform offers interoperable cross-border connectivity and performance management without operator constraints. Verdane’s investment, drawing on its experience from its 45 other investments in the software space, will support the company in accelerating Onomondo’s growth internationally, and in achieving its plans to triple Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) in 2022 & 2023.
The investment from Verdane, coupled with participation from existing investors, will also help with Onomondo’s plans to scale its team from 50 to 100 by the end of 2022 and expand its customer base, which includes the likes of Bosch, Carlsberg, and Maersk. Verdane will help Onomondo seize the opportunity to leverage its platform to continue expanding its products and features, as well as drive incremental revenue streams.
Pål Malmros, Partner, at Verdane commented: ‘’We are convinced that Onomondo’s solution has the potential to vastly accelerate global roll-out of IoT, as well as expand the total set of addressable use cases. We look forward to partnering with the company to significantly accelerate the business’ expansion and growth internationally, drawing on the Verdane team’s experience from the other 45 software investments that we have made.’’

Verdane’s majority investment will support Apoteka’s ambition to grow its market share, attract new customers, develop its brand and logistics capabilities, and enable improved access to medicine and other pharmaceutical products in Denmark. Verdane will draw on its experience from its investment in Farmasiet, a full-service online pharmacy in Norway, and over 40 other digital consumer investments to support Apoteka’s growth.
