Oakley Capital invests in Spanish hotel demand generation platform Paraty Tech

Oakley Capital ("Oakley"), a leading pan-European mid-market private equity
investor, is pleased to announce that Oakley Capital Fund VI is investing in
Paraty Tech ("Paraty"), Spain's fastest-growing hotel demand generation
platform.

Founded in Malaga in 2012 by siblings Gina and Franz Matheis, Paraty Tech is a
cloud-based demand generation platform used by independent hotels, hotel
chains and mid-market properties across Iberia, with a growing footprint in
Latin America and the US. The company provides a fully customisable platform
enabling hotels to manage direct reservations, pricing, and availability
through their own online (website) and offline (telephone) direct channels.
Paraty's popularity has been driven by its user-friendly interface, ease of
integration with property management systems, and its proven ability to
significantly increase direct bookings and reduce reliance on OTAs. The
company's commission-based core business is complemented by a suite of
additional services including digital marketing and outsourced contact
centres.

Paraty Tech has achieved impressive revenue growth by taking market share from
legacy providers and cross-selling its expanded portfolio of value-added
services. Oakley will support Paraty's team to accelerate international
expansion and pursue strategic acquisitions in the fragmented Travel Tech
space to create a scaled leader with a broadened product offering.

This investment continues Oakley's successful track record of building
high-growth, cloud-based platform businesses in Iberia, such as ERP SaaS
platform Grupo Primavera, now part of Cegid Group, and legaltech leader vLex,
which Oakley recently agreed to sell at a $1 billion valuation.

Oakley Capital co-Founder & Managing Partner Peter Dubens said: "We see
significant opportunity to back fast-growing, founder-led technology
businesses across Iberia. Gina and Franz have already built Paraty into a
market leader that is disrupting the entire hotel booking sector not just in
their home market, but increasingly on the global stage. We look forward to
supporting the team as they scale Paraty into an international category
leader."

Paraty Tech co-Founder & CEO Gina Matheis said: "We were seeking a partner
that shares our entrepreneurial vision and ethos, and that aligns with
Paraty's DNA, a customer-centric philosophy, with a clear focus on adding
value and delivering outstanding customer support. Oakley's strong track
record with Iberian founders, through investments such as idealista, Seedtag
and vLex, made them a natural choice for us."
