Optio Incentives secures series A2 growth capital from existing investors CCAP and Futurum for the acquisition of the VU Live platform from Investec
Oslo, Norway, [08.10.2025] – Optio, the leading provider of B2B SaaS equity compensation solutions today announced the successful closing of its Series A2 financing round supported by existing investors Futurum Ventures and CCAP.
Earlier this year, Optio completed the acquisition of the VU Live share plan software platform from Investec Wealth & Investment International, a move which expands Optio’s offering for seamless trading and settlement of equity plans across its European client base.
“We’re happy to see that this new funding comes from investors who already know us and believe in our strategy,” said Christoffer Herheim, CEO of Optio Incentives. “Their continued trust is both motivating and valuable as we enter our next growth chapter together.”
Christopher Caesar of CCAP said, “With the acquisition, Optio’s client base increases to over 500. It is also a testament to the team’s ability to grow organically and inorganically, uniquely positioning Optio to lead the industry.”
“We are excited to continue to support Optio’s strategy and further growth story. We believe in the team’s strategic vision and the alignment between Optio and all stakeholders”, said Øystein Skiri of Futurum.
The transaction follows a series of additional milestones in 2025, including the appointment of industry veterans June Davenport and John Meehan to the Board in August. In May, Optio announced the appointment of Felix Rose as Head of Private Equity Solutions based in Germany.
