NEW YORK, April 02, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — FE International, the leading mergers and acquisitions advisory firm for technology businesses, announces the strategic acquisition of Evalart, a leading Latin American provider of skill assessment software, by Noosa Labs, a company specializing in buying and nurturing SaaS businesses. FE International served as the exclusive sell-side M&A advisor on the transaction.

Founded in 2017, Evalart has become a foundational company in human resources (HR) technology, offering robust solutions for skills assessment catering to the evolving needs of businesses across various industries. The acquisition by Noosa Labs will enhance Evalart’s offerings with new user experience and interface designs, innovative tools leveraging generative AI and tailored solutions for mid-sized and larger customers. Additionally, this acquisition marks Noosa Labs’ entry into both the Latin American market and the HR tech sector.

“Evalart has been at the forefront of innovation, providing solutions to help companies identify and recruit the best talent for their needs,” said G. Cateriano, CEO and Founder of Evalart. “After seven years of building and growing this company, this acquisition not only aligns with the company’s commitment to excellence but will also propel its future growth in the market.”

“As with all our acquisitions, our goal is to enhance the product by offering an improved user experience and innovative tools to suit our customers who are using the platform,” said Pascal Levy-Garboua, CEO and Founder of Noosa Labs. “FE International’s expertise in M&A brought this deal to life, managing the entire sale seamlessly and ensuring we could focus on our mission of delivering greater value to our customers with this key addition to our portfolio.”

“Despite the post-COVID deal slowdown, the HR tech market is expected to reach a valuation of nearly a quarter trillion dollars by 2030,” said Randal Stephenson, the Head of Investment Banking at FE International. “The sector’s resilience and projected growth has made for attractive investment opportunities, and this acquisition was no exception. HR technology is essential for organizations to stay competitive in today’s fast-paced environment, and in facilitating this transaction, FE International was able to have a hand in supporting the progress of this advanced technology.”
