We are thrilled to announce a 7x return from a full exit of our portfolio company, Intelligence Node. This marks a significant milestone as Intelligence Node, a leading #ecommerce intelligence platform renowned for its unmatched data accuracy and global reach, has been fully acquired by the Interpublic Group (IPG), one of the world’s largest advertising and marketing services companies. This acquisition is a strategic move by IPG to enhance its commerce capabilities, leveraging I-Node’s cutting-edge #AI technology that analyses billions of data points across 1,900+ retail categories in 34 global markets. Rehan Yar Khan, Founder & Managing Partner at Orios Venture Partners, shared: “Our exit strategy focuses on maximising #IRR for our Limited Partners (LPs) while ensuring timely liquidity. This not only de-risks the fund but also compounds its growth over time. We are proud to have supported Intelligence Node in its journey to becoming a global leader in e-commerce intelligence. This exit aligns with our commitment to creating value for our LPs while supporting groundbreaking startups that redefine industries."
