We first met Ari at the height of the pandemic, a time at which the £110bn global press and magazines industry was experiencing huge growth in digital adoption from structural changes in media consumption habits. Cafeyn was as such also seeing an unprecedented rise in usage. Having just completed two acquisitions, Ari was looking for an energetic and hands-on partner who could drive forward product innovation and enable the company to accelerate its growth strategy in Europe and globally.

We are extremely proud to be working with Ari and his talented team on shaping the next chapter of Cafeyn’s growth journey.

"Bregal Milestone is the best possible partner for Cafeyn, given their digital and media expertise, as well as their willingness to support fast-growing companies as a hands-on partner. Their global network and strategic support will allow us to accelerate our international expansion, by way of both organic growth and M&A."
