Creatio is a global software company that offers to lead low-code process management and CRM platform. Recently, it reported a $68 million capital increase led by Volition Capital. It is a US-based growth equity fund that invests in high-growth companies with a stake in Horizon Capital. The financing is a minority investment to drive the growth of the company. The strategy, management team, product vision, and dedication to consumer success of Creatio remained unchanged.
The increase is the first external investment in the eight-year history of Creatio. It comes during a time of boom for low-code and no-code platforms. It spans everything from web creation, game manufacturing, and process automation to enterprise app building and marketing analytics. Today, the worldwide low-code production market is pegged at approximately $10 billion. The figure is expected to grow to $187 billion in a decade as corporations fight to attract top technological talent. The less technically capable workers can rely on automated resources such as Creatio. The low-code frameworks aim to help organizations enhance many of their internal creation and operational processes.
