The Deal

Lincoln International was engaged by Balena based on its deep expertise in industrial and infrastructure software, global buyer network and deep experience executing complex cross-border transactions. Lincoln utilized its deep domain expertise and best-in-class execution capabilities to run a successful process, working with management to highlight Balena’s unique value proposition, strong product-market fit and exciting growth opportunities.

Our Perspective

Jesse Espinoza, Managing Director in Lincoln International’s Technology Group who led the transaction, commented, “Balena has built a unique and highly capable platform that solves one of the most pressing challenges facing commercial, industrial and edge-driven organizations: securely orchestrating and managing devices at scale. The company’s proven software offering, enterprise-grade capabilities and high user stickiness position the company exceptionally well for continued growth. We believe LoneTree Capital is the ideal partner for Balena’s next phase and look forward to following the company’s continued momentum.”
