SAN MATEO, Calif., May 21, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Invictus Growth Partners (“Invictus”), a leading private equity firm focused on growth buyouts of lower middle-market enterprise software businesses in the cloud software, cybersecurity, and fintech sectors, announced the final closing of Invictus Growth Fund II, L.P. (“Fund II”), with total capital commitments of $574 million in its core fund and related co-investment funds. Fund II was oversubscribed at $488 million in fund commitments, surpassing both its target of $350 million and the original hard cap of $450 million.

“We are honored and grateful for the support from our returning and new investors, which include pension plans, endowments, foundations, insurance companies, healthcare institutions, and family offices,” said John DeLoche, Invictus Co-founder and Managing Partner. “The early support and leadership from our existing investors helped to drive investor demand and facilitate a successful fundraise despite a challenging environment. “We will continue our strategy of bringing a partnership approach and deep operating expertise and resources to our portfolio companies to help them scale,” said William Nettles, Invictus Co-founder and Managing Partner. “This includes our world class team’s stewardship, machine learning-powered GTM operational enhancements through our DIANE platform, and the support of a dedicated portfolio company success team, the Invictus Guild.”

Invictus’ Fund II received strong support from existing investors, and new investors made up more than two thirds of total committed capital, broadening the diversification of the firm’s world class institutional limited partner base.

Invictus has completed twelve platform investments and add-on acquisitions in its focus areas of enterprise cloud software, cybersecurity, and fintech. The firm targets companies with at least $10 million of annual recurring revenue that have been bootstrapped or have annual recurring revenue greater than equity capital raised. Invictus targets companies with strong product market fit that are profitable or nearly profitable at the time of investment.

Ten of the twelve completed investments were sourced with DIANE, Invictus’ proprietary machine learning-powered outbound sales engine for B2B use cases. DIANE is an acronym for Deal Intelligence Assessment Neural Engine, and was built in-house at Invictus starting in 2019. Invictus is now on its third generation of machine learning for operational enhancements powered by DIANE. The first generation focused on in-house investment sourcing. The second and third generations focus on GTM operational enhancements which are exclusively available to Invictus portfolio companies. Portfolio companies have seen a 90% increase in direct sales efficiency leveraging the platform, which also provides access to thousands of potential new enterprise customers.

Portfolio companies also benefit from access to the Invictus Guild, a team of operating executives who have experience working at some of the most successful technology companies. Invictus Guild Members operate across ten disciplines that are crucial for scaling technology companies, including sales, marketing, customer success, business development, corporate development, data science, human resources, product development, finance, and CEO coaches. They serve as mentors, operational advisors, and sources of best practices and talent for Invictus portfolio companies. They also invest personally in every portfolio company.

Monnit Introduces NIST Detachable Leads to Streamline Compliance Monitoring

Published

on

By

New hot-swappable lead architecture reduces downtime, simplifies recertification, and helps organizations maintain continuous monitoring.

SALT LAKE CITY, June 18, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Monnit announced new NIST Standard and Low Temperature and Humidity Detachable Leads for compatible ALTA® Sensor Bases designed to simplify sensor recertification, reduce downtime, and support continuous compliance monitoring.

“Organizations shouldn’t have to choose between maintaining compliance and operational continuity,” said Brad Walters, Founder and CEO of Monnit. “Our detachable lead architecture allows customers to hot-swap certified leads in minutes while preserving traceability and keeping trusted monitoring programs running.”

Each NIST Detachable Lead is uniquely calibrated and designed to support traceability requirements aligned with the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) standards.

Rather than removing and shipping an entire sensor for recertification, customers can disconnect only the lead, connect a certified replacement, and send the original lead for recalibration. This approach is ideal for pharmaceuticals, healthcare facilities, laboratories, food storage operations, manufacturing environments, and other applications that require calibration records.

In addition to these hot-swappable, removable leads or cables with probes, we offer short Monnit Standard Temperature and Humidity Detachable Non-Leaded Probes that you can connect to compatible sensor bases.

Each NIST Detachable Lead or Probe connects to compatible ALTA Industrial and Enterprise Sensor Bases via sealed, keyed M8 6-pin connectors designed for field installation. Embedded memory within the lead stores unique lead and sensor identification, calibration data, certification information, and traceability records.

Key features and benefits include:

Hot-swappable lead replacement that minimizes downtime and monitoring interruptionsNIST-traceable calibration support and ISO 17025-accredited lab certificationSupport for FDA 21 CFR Part 11 workflows and audit programsAutomatic synchronization of calibration information with iMonnit® SoftwareLogging of lead connection and disconnection events in iMonnitHot-swapping capability while powered on or off for easier servicing

Monnit and its accredited lab partner, Sensor Calibrations, provide 25-month certificates for NIST Detachable Standard Temperature Leads and 13-month certificates for NIST Detachable Low Temperature and Humidity Leads.

Compatible ALTA Sensor Bases automatically recognize connected lead types and maintain digital maintenance records, helping organizations avoid monitoring gaps caused by traditional recertification.

About Monnit Corporation
The origin story of the Internet of Things (IoT) begins with Monnit. Before our inception in 2010, we were already at the forefront of embedding technology into machines and devices to enable them to talk and deliver valuable data to business leaders. Monnit Remote Monitoring Solutions for nearly any industry use case have delivered 72B+ data points in 130+ countries for 90K+ customers. Monnit’s 80+ long-range IoT sensors remotely monitor many conditions such as temperature, light, humidity, water, vibration, pressure, and more. You can analyze data using iMonnit cloud software and get alerts via email, text, push notification, or call when our sensors detect a change you should know.
