The inQuba investment will be housed in Convergence Partners Fund I (CPI), the vehicle through which Convergence Partners invests in software businesses among other key pillars of the African ICT market.

Convergence said in a statement that CPI will hold a significant minority interest in inQuba post transaction.

Founded by serial entrepreneurs Michael Renzon and Trent Rossini, both with a successful history of creating, managing and exiting leading technology businesses, inQuba has established itself across four continents.

Its client base consists of multinational corporations from the financial services, insurance, retail, travel and telecommunications sectors, including Goodyear, Virgin Mobile, Suncorp, Telkom South Africa, and Vitality Life, among others.

“With customer experience being the latest competitive differentiator, we have seen companies globally investing heavily in  customer experience in a race to offer a highly differentiated customer experience. Customer experience, as an industry, is therefore set to grow substantially over the next few years,” says Michael Renzon, CEO of inQuba.

“In light of this, and the international success of our disruptive customer experience platform, inQuba will leverage the investment from Convergence Partners to further expand our presence and enhance our product offering to clients all over the world, with scaling in the U.S. being a top priority.”
