Luminii provides CDD to Maven on their investment into Liftango

12 Jan 2022 /

Luminii are delighted to have provided commercial due diligence (CDD) support to Maven Capital Partners (“Maven”) on their investment into Liftango.   

Liftango’s technology centres around its three core products, on-demand bus (ODB), fixed-route shuttles and carpool. The ODB and fixed-route cloud-based platform allows public and corporate transport operators to manage their services on a single platform. This unique offering is a first for fleet operators and provides their passengers with a more personalised service whilst optimising vehicle scheduling and routing to improve fleet efficiency.

Maven led a GBP5.5 million funding round for Liftango, a cloud-based technology platform which enables transport operators to optimise route planning in real-time based on passenger demand.

"Luminii are delighted to have supported Maven on this transaction. This is yet another deal that helps to further strengthen our credentials in the TMT and software sectors. We wish Maven and Liftango's management team continued success for the future." - Lushani Kodituwakku, Managing Director, Luminii Consulting
