What they and their team have achieved so far is very impressive. We share their vision that event-driven architecture is the next big thing for companies, big or small, that migrate their IT architecture to microservices. This allows native auditability, which is critical for many industries. The quality of their tech stack is very impressive and we are very honored to join the AxonIQ journey. As for all our other portfolio companies, we’ll pour all our resources in Europe and in the US at their service to help them grow.” commented Francois Robinet, Managing Partner of AVP.
