INITIAL DEAL

Overview
In 2021, Puma Private Equity deployed £5 million of equity into Deazy, a platform that connects businesses with high-quality development teams. Deazy will use the funding to scale its commercial teams to accelerate growth, double down on its platform vision and further build out its development teams.
About Deazy
Founded in 2016, Deazy works with handpicked teams comprising more than 3,000 developers, providing broad technical expertise and greater capacity and flexibility.
Deazy grew by 2.5x in 2021, an increase attributable to its model, technology and ability to execute, along with the increasing demand for developers globally following the pandemic. In addition, the IR35 legislation change has made it more challenging for companies to access software developers, and Deazy’s compatibility with this is a key advantage.
The business’s clients range from enterprises to VC-backed scale-ups and some of Europe’s biggest agencies. It is about to complete its transition to enable a self-serve platform-based experience, meaning every project and interaction will be managed via the Deazy platform, enabling a more efficient and scalable model.
This investment round will enable Deazy to scale out a team to drive even faster growth in a high-demand segment for development talent. Deazy also plans to hire a Chief Product Officer with high-profile marketplace credentials, to sustain the delivery of a market-leading platform experience.
