Thoma Bravo has made a majority strategic investment in Java runtime solution specialist Azul. Existing investors Vitruvian Partners and Lead Edge Capital will reinvest and retain minority stakes as part of the deal.

Its customer base currently includes 36% of the Fortune 100 and the world’s ten largest banks. Thoma Bravo partner Adam Solomon said, “As enterprises move away from legacy Java offerings and face rising cloud infrastructure costs, demand for Azul’s enterprise-ready, scalable, secure and cost-efficient Java solutions has never been stronger.”

Firm partner and co-head of Nordic Capital evolution advisory, Jonas Agnblad, said, “The company enjoys a strong and loyal backing in both academia and biopharma.”
