iCreditWorks raises $60M, led by Comvest Partners and Barings and including a follow-on investment by RedBird Capital, to fuel expansion of the Company’s omni-channel PaaS platform and continue its mission to reinvent Point-Of-Sale (POS) financing.

ISELIN, N.J., April 14, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — iCreditWorks, one of the fastest-growing FinTech platforms in the United States, today announced the completion of its latest capital raise. The Company raised $60M, led by $25M investments from both Comvest Partners, a private equity and credit investment firm, and Barings, a $442B global investment management firm. RedBird Capital, the Company’s largest outside investor, joined Comvest and Barings with a follow-on investment of $10M, a testament to their conviction in iCreditWorks’ trajectory and its future. The new funding allows for accelerated growth and ensures the Company is well capitalized for the future.

“We welcome Comvest Partners, Barings, and once again thank RedBird for their ongoing support. iCreditWorks will continue to execute its product roadmap, focus on PaaS automation, and integrate new capabilities that make the iCreditWorks App and omni-channel platform even more intuitive and powerful,” said Stephen E. Sweeney, iCreditWorks’ Chairman and Founder.

iCreditWorks has developed a highly configurable and modular Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) solution that empowers its partners (leading financial institutions, enterprise networks, and large brands) to rapidly deploy embedded POS lending solutions with integrated payment technologies that meet consumers where they live—significantly decreasing time to market while eliminating cost and challenges facing those industries today. iCreditWorks’ digital payments infrastructure, which includes the rapid issuance of an in-App “Tap to Pay” virtual card, offers a seamless and flexible payment experience to consumers and merchants alike.

“We are excited to lead iCreditWorks’ capital raise,” said Charles Asfour, Partner at Comvest Partners. “We believe the Company’s highly compelling value proposition and attractive growth prospects make for a great addition to our opportunistic credit portfolio. We look forward to contributing to the Company’s ongoing success with both capital and other value-added resources going forward.”

Barings similarly embraced iCreditWorks’ Platform through its participation in the raise.

Michael Searles, Head of North America, Capital Solutions for Barings added, “We are excited to back the iCreditWorks Platform and look forward to working with the team to support the Company’s expansion.”

Mike Zabik, a Partner at RedBird Capital, will remain a Board Director since leading the prior capital raise; Charles Asfour and Micheal Searles will join as Observers to the iCreditWorks Board.

“Once again, RedBird Capital is excited to back iCreditWorks,” said Zabik, “and continue pushing their strategic edge in their next stage of growth.”

iCreditWorks will leverage these investments to fuel the continued expansion of its omni-channel PaaS platform into other business verticals (e.g., healthcare, SMB equipment, home improvement, etc.) and drive its commercial growth through new PaaS partnerships.

Nocpix: Always One Step Ahead in Outdoor Electro-optic Innovation with AI-Driven Thermals and Night Vision

Published

on

By

YANTAI, China, April 29, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Hunting, one of humanity’s oldest traditions, is being transformed by modern technology. Today, innovations like thermal imaging devices, GPS trackers, smart scopes, and AI-driven vision systems are redefining how hunters track, observe, and engage with their environment. Among these innovations, thermal imaging stands out as a true game-changer. The ability to detect heat signatures, spot targets beyond the naked eye’s capabilities, and make calculated shots has revolutionized the hunting experience. In the crowded thermal market, a new brand called Nocpix is coming to US and European hunters making another option for night hunting.

Why is Nocpix Taking the Thermal Optics Market by Storm?

Amidst a competitive field of legacy brands, Nocpix has emerged as a standout name in high-definition thermal imaging. Though a relatively new entrant, they’ve quickly claimed a position at the forefront of the industry by focusing on cutting-edge thermal imaging sensor technology, intuitive ergonomics, and field-proven reliability. Their Ultra-HD thermal imaging systems are now competing head-to-head with established players in the space, combining cutting-edge sensor technology, Reality+ AI-enhanced imaging algorithms, and intuitive designs to deliver industry-leading thermal optics for hunters and outdoor professionals.

Professional Thermal Binoculars for Hunters – QUEST

Nocpix’s product line began with compact monoculars and thermal riflescopes. Today, Nocpix has launched a groundbreaking thermal imaging device — the Quest thermal imaging binoculars. Weighing just 700g, lightweight design allows effortless one-handed operation. The auto screen-off eyepiece prevents accidental light leakage, ensuring stealth during tracking. With a detection range of up to 2600m, a 1000m integrated LRF, and ballistic calculation, QUEST provides precise distance measurement and target data for accurate outdoor observation. Because of these outstanding performance, these binoculars quickly captured the attention of outdoor hunting enthusiasts.

Why Does Binocular Vision Feel More Comfortable?

The human brain is designed for binocular vision — using both eyes to create depth, clarity, and a more immersive viewing experience. Nocpix Quest inherits the intuitive operational logic of traditional binoculars and redefines the night observation experience. As stated by professional hunter Chris Parkin: “This is currently the most user-friendly and feature-rich thermal imaging device — whether day or night, it allows you to become a ‘participant’ in the environment, rather than a mere observer.”
