New Backer for Impact Analysis Specialist Implan

Huntersville, North Carolina-based economic impact analysis platform Implan has secured funds with which to accelerate its new product development, expand its datasets and grow its geographical coverage.

Implan was founded in 1976, and provides modelling software and expertise for consulting firms, academic institutions, major corporates and government agencies, allowing them to quantify the economic impact of planned and actual initiatives. These include building new factories and opening new retail stores, and Implan's solutions boost planning, decision-making and resource allocation.

The unspecified investment came from Boston and New York-based Charlesbank Capital Partners, and with the deal existing investor Boathouse Capital is fully exiting the company. Implan CEO Justin Helmig (pictured) comments: 'This investment comes at an exciting time for IMPLAN. Charlesbank will help us to fully capitalize on market opportunities and expand our economic analysis cloud software platform. Their deep industry expertise and proven track record in scaling SaaS companies will enhance our offerings and allow IMPLAN to continue to deliver exceptional service to our customers'.
