Goldman Sachs acquires $20.5m stake in Perseus
Goldman Sachs has acquired a $20.5m minority stake in technology firm Perseus, a managed services provider of high-speed connectivity. The capital will allow Perseus to accelerate expansion of its global managed services network.
"We see a great opportunity in the financial sector in general, and Perseus in particular," said Terry Doherty at Goldman Sachs. "Not only is their business performance exceptional, but they have the potential to dramatically shift the way that the global markets engage by introducing faster and more secure managed services to the industry."
Perseus was formed in 2009 and has developed low-latency trading and market connectivity. In the past year, Perseus released LiquidPath into the US financial market, and EdgePath, a fully-managed service that deploys infrastructure for the technology, media, telecoms and iGaming industries.
“
Perseus provides managed services and connectivity to more than 300 exchanges and markets in 18 countries across the globe.
