Manchester-based tech startup Versori has been acquired by US tech giant Avalara.
Versori, which was founded in 2022 by Sean Brown and Daniel Jones, is a next-generation integration platform specialist.
The deal size has not been disclosed but the acquisition includes Versori’s technology and its team of 23 staff.
Both Brown and Jones are staying with the business, which will operate as Versori, by Avalara.
Versori graduated from the famous Y Combinator accelerator in March 2023 and has since worked with companies like Frasers Group, Macy’s and the MoD.
Brown, who has previously worked at Mercarto and Social Chain, said the deal was good news for Manchester.
“It’s proof that Manchester can grow companies like Versori,” he said. “Hopefully it will bring more investment into Manchester and more talent.
“Versori has built game-changing technology. I’ve never done it for the rewards. I love building things and I’m looking forward to keep building things with Versori. I’ve got a lot of unfinished business.”
