Founded in the Netherlands in 2010, Workspace 365 is trusted by more than 2,300 organisations to help employees achieve ultimate work focus through the simplification of their digital environment.

Aries Global was founded by technology growth investor, Michael Mitterlehner, and former Snowflake executive, Thibaut Ceyrolle. The Group scales some of the world’s most successful technology companies within the over $50 billion cloud marketplace ecosystem.

Aries Global has acquired all the shares previously held by Value Creation Capital and Oost NL. Workspace 365 now has three shareholders: co-founders Erik Nicolai and Hans de Graaf, and Aries Global.

Workspace 365 joins Aries’ coalition of founder-owned software companies in the Vertical Business Applications, Modern Work and Data & AI sectors.

This alignment of products and services, combined with both firms’ international growth aspirations, made Aries the ideal partner for Workspace 365, which aims to capitalise further on the substantial opportunity in the fast-growing global digital workplace marketplace.

The partnership with Aries will see the existing Workspace 365 management team, led by Erik Nicolai and Hans de Graaf, continue in their existing roles while leveraging Aries’ central Growth & AI Infrastructure – a key part of Aries’ offering.

By collaborating with Aries and benefitting from its proven Growth & AI Infrastructure, Workspace 365 has a vision to capitalise on its European growth – to expand its presence internationally and enhance the product roadmap.

Currently, more than 2,300 organisations and over 130 channel partners worldwide are using Workspace 365.

The all-in-one, adaptive digital workplace provides employees with simplified, personalised access to all relevant applications, company information and personal documents on any device, on one intuitive user dashboard.

Workspace 365 co-founder and CEO, Erik Nicolai, said: “International demand for intuitive digital workplaces that simplify the employee experience across global workforces is growing at unprecedented speed. As the leading European provider in this space, we have seen huge potential to scale.

“The partnership with Aries will enable us to realise our global aspirations for the business, and continue to deliver ongoing product innovation, including artificial intelligence and machine learning, to empower companies to simplify their workplace technology and the experiences their people have with it.”

Hans de Graaf, Workspace 365 co-founder and board director, expanded: “Aries is a powerhouse in helping founder-owned software firms to grow, and as two founders with huge ambition, we’re truly excited about what this partnership means for our business, our people and the market. While our mission to simplify the digital experiences of workers has become well-established in Europe and Oceania, with the support and guidance of Aries, we will now be in an even stronger position to take that mission to a broader global audience.”

Aries Global co-founder and CEO, Michael Mitterlehner, added: “Workspace 365 is the perfect strategic fit for our Group. As visionary founders of the highest calibre, what Erik and Hans have built perfectly complements our platform.

Thibaut Ceyrolle, co-founder and CRO of Aries Global, concluded: “Workspace 365’s world-class roadmap aligns seamlessly with our goals, and together, we see tremendous potential to leverage our Growth & AI Infrastructure to further accelerate their success.”

Workspace 365 was advised by ICON Corporate Finance Ltd (financial advisor) and JB Law (legal counsel).
