Venture company G42 invests in Hedgehog, a firm specializing in digital tokenization for private markets, through acquisition by Inveniam.
Inveniam, a leading private market data firm, has made a strategic move by acquiring Hedgehog, a white-label investment solution for tokenized real-world assets. This acquisition, agreed upon late last year, marks a significant step towards the tokenization of private assets and their distribution to private investors.
Founded in 2017, Inveniam has been generating real-time data for private assets such as real estate, private equity, private credit, and infrastructure. With this acquisition, Inveniam aims to expand its services beyond data provision, offering a comprehensive solution for structuring, trading, and distributing private assets.
Hedgehog, on the other hand, developed a solution to enable asset managers to tokenize and distribute assets to their private wealth clients. By integrating Hedgehog's whitelabel solution with its systems, Inveniam is building the rails for digital, crypto, and cloud-based trading of alternative asset classes globally.
Inveniam's data is critical for a tokenized world where private assets are traded more regularly. The firm's data services are now being used by accountants and other subject matter experts, in addition to real estate firms. Notably, Cushman & Wakefield, a major player in the real estate industry, is one of Inveniam's major backers.
The acquisition also brings substantial backing from UAE-based AI firm G42, increasing Inveniam's total funding to $120 million. Inveniam has been using blockchain to store data on its platform for several years, and it is likely that its 'Valuation as a Service' will increasingly use AI.
As for the current status and future plans of the acquisition and integration with existing systems for tokenized real-world assets, there is no publicly available update or detail in current sources. For precise and current information, consulting Inveniam’s official communications, press releases, or industry-specific announcements directly from involved parties would be necessary.
Patrick O'Meara, Chairman and CEO of Inveniam, stated that the acquisition of Hedgehog is about foundational transformation. The integration of Hedgehog's existing infrastructure tools is expected to play a crucial role in this transformation, as Inveniam continues to shape the future of private asset trading.
