Sdui Group receives growth investment led by Bain Capital

The Sdui Group, a European provider of cloud-based management software for educational institutions, has received new growth financing. The investment round is led by the Tech Opportunities Fund of the international private equity firm Bain Capital. In addition, existing investors HV Capital and High-Tech Gründerfonds (HTGF) are once again participating.

Sdui intends to use the fresh capital to further develop its product range, deepen its support for schools and realize its vision of becoming Europe's unified digital education platform.

Bain Capital not only brings capital, but also a deep understanding of our business. They take an entrepreneurial and long-term view, which fits perfectly with our approach.

Digital infrastructure in the education sector

The Sdui Group was founded in Germany in 2018 and today offers a fully integrated, modular platform that supports schools with administrative tasks such as communication, attendance and appointment management, grading and more. The solutions are aimed at individual schools, school boards and government agencies.

Sdui is currently active in Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Spain. Further European markets are in its sights.

Strategic partnership for long-term growth

European school systems are facing growing challenges and expectations. Sdui has developed a modern, intuitive platform that addresses these. We look forward to supporting its continued growth.

Sdui was already supported in its early stages by HTGF, which provided seed financing in 2019. At the time, founder Daniel Zacharias was fresh out of school himself. Today, the company employs over 230 people and is considered one of Europe's leading EdTech providers.

Sdui is a prime example of how a clear vision, technical expertise and market demand can be turned into a scalable company.

Combination of innovation, growth and market demand

The Sdui Group has expanded its market position in recent years through organic growth and targeted acquisitions of regional providers. At the same time, it continues to invest in product innovation, user-friendliness and data protection compliance. The aim is to use the platform to simplify daily administrative processes for teachers, school administrators, parents and pupils.

The current financing round marks an important milestone on the way to establishing the Sdui Group as a leading infrastructure provider in the European education market. In an increasingly digitalized school environment with growing requirements, Sdui offers a scalable, tried-and-tested and legally compliant solution.
