 Progressive Growth Partners Pty Ltd of Australia, trading as ‘Mutinex'

Bloomsbury Information Capital, has a 5% equity stake in the software (SaaS) company Progressive Growth Partners Pty Ltd of Australia, trading as ‘Mutinex’. The company has a staff of 35. Simon Benney represents Bloomsbury on the ‘Mutinex’ Board.

The company has developed a high performance, automated econometrics platform which measures return on investment in media and marketing.  The platform is able to analyse and optimize marketing expenditure in near real time by media channel, and even marketing programme.  Performance and impact are analysed, giving clear insights in return on investment which allow marketers to better predict and price future marketing expenditure and returns.   Mutinex has a subscription model with high usage and output which can be incorporated into client workflows making its data sticky and even compulsive, with renewal rates close to 100%.  The customer base includes Samsung Australia, Asahi Group, MeBank and ING. 

In May 2022, Bloomsbury participated in the AUD 2.4M funding round, which finances a 200% expansion, increasing capability to drive self-service on-boarding and generate automated insights for customers. 

In February 2023, Bloomsbury Information Capital (BIC) announced its further support of Mutinex, participating in a successful AUD 5m Seed extension round that values the company at $37m AUD. The round was led by Equity Venture Partners, a well known and highly regarded venture firm focused on early-stage B2B software companies, and was also strongly supported by existing investors, including BIC.  Mutinex continues to impress with strong growth and exceptional potential - in 2022 the company posted 300% revenue growth, going well beyond the annual target of a 200% increase. The team has added to their already impressive client portfolio, attracting more blue chip companies and boasting sustained success with existing customers. The product development track record also continues at pace, with an exciting flow of innovative product features being integrated into the core product, such as the AI based Recommendation engine, that are going to fuel a new wave of value and increased returns on marketing investments.

In October 2023, Mutinex has raised another 9.5m$ AUD, taking its valuation to 75m$ AUD! Its primary backer, EVP, has now invested $12m, the most of the 48 software firms it has backed to date. 

Mutinex has offices in Australia and the United States of America

Congratulations to the entire Mutinex team!
