WAYNE, Pa., Nov. 26, 2024 — Argosy Private Equity (“Argosy”), a lower middle market private equity firm, today announced it has exited its investment in Rita’s Franchise Company, LLC (“Rita’s” or the “Company”).
Founded in 1984 and headquartered in Trevose, PA, Rita’s is one of the premier frozen treat purveyors in the industry. The company’s journey began when Bob Tumolo, a former Philadelphia firefighter, opened the first Rita’s location in Bensalem, PA. Tumolo expanded the brand by introducing franchising, and today, the Rita’s franchise network spans approximately 600 locations across 30 U.S. states, as well as international markets. Known for its loyal customer base, Rita’s has been named a top food franchise by Franchise Times, Entrepreneur Magazine, and Entrepreneur’s Startup. Additional recognition from top publications like Zagat and The Wall Street Journal have solidified its place as a beloved and celebrated brand in the frozen dessert space.
Argosy acquired Rita’s in December 2016 and began implementation of its Value Acceleration Methodology (VAM™) at acquisition. Key initiatives included refining its expansion strategy and leveraging data to drive key decisions, such as new store and drive thru locations. Enhancing franchisee support through upgraded training and ordering tools, while boosting customer engagement through a revamped app and mobile ordering, contributed to additional growth. On the product front, relentless R&D led to new flavors and offerings including Frozen Coffee and seasonal favorites.
“Partnering with the Rita’s leadership team has been an extraordinary experience. From the outset, we were impressed by the brand’s potential and its passionate customer base. In collaboration with the management team, the implementation of VAM™ initiatives led to significant growth and contributed to more than doubling EBITDA during our hold period. Rita’s has evolved into a beloved and celebrated brand, and it has been a privilege to contribute to their journey. The numerous changes implemented during our ownership period have significantly increased franchisee profitability and improved the customer experience. We are excited to see the brand continue to thrive under its new ownership,” said Kirk Griswold, Founding Partner of Argosy Private Equity.
“Argosy has been a great partner, helping us refine our strategy and align our core fundamentals with our business objectives. Argosy’s VAM™ tools were instrumental in growing revenue, improving processes, and ultimately helping our franchisees better serve our customers. The Argosy team has not only been a trusted business partner but also a key contributor to making this journey rewarding for everyone involved,” said Linda Chadwick, CEO of Rita’s.

Eon Raises $70 million Series C Led by BOND, bringing its total funding to $200 million, to provide instant access to backed-up cloud data through its next-generation platform
NEW YORK, Nov. 26, 2024 — Eon, the next-generation cloud backup platform, announced today that it has raised a $70 million Series C funding round led by BOND, growing its valuation to $1.4 billion. Several return investors joined the round, including Sequoia Capital, Greenoaks, and Lightspeed Venture Partners. Eon’s novel cloud backup posture management platform transforms data backups from a manual and cumbersome process into a simple and automated solution, enabling enterprises to unlock the true potential of their backed-up data. Founded in January 2024, Eon has already filed dozens of patents for cloud storage and data management technologies and raised $200 million in funding.
Companies are spending more than ever in the cloud, with the global annual spend expected to reach $679 billion by the end of 2024. Enterprises from every industry invest millions of dollars a year on cloud backups for both business and compliance needs. Despite its importance, cloud backup operations remain a challenge, and currently, backups offer little tangible benefit or value. Requiring error-prone manual work, companies regularly find themselves under or over-backed up. Even when backed up properly, backups remain difficult to access, manage, and operationalize, leaving enterprises in risky positions.
Eon is the first backup platform for the age of cloud infrastructure. By creating a new tier of storage, it enables instant access to backed-up data, which until now has been a “black box.” Eon’s platform eliminates manual backup tasks by autonomously scanning, mapping, and classifying cloud resources. At its core, Eon allows enterprises to finally control and utilize their backups, offering full visibility and seamless access to data whenever needed.
“Sometimes, an innovation arrives that doesn’t just improve processes—it completely redefines them. From our first meeting with Eon’s founders, we knew they were onto something that would reshape the enterprise landscape,” said Jay Simons, Partner at BOND. “Eon is setting a bold new benchmark for how companies operate, and we’re excited to support them in driving this transformation forward.”
Founded by Ofir Ehrlich and Gonen Stein, of the CloudEndure founding team (acquired by Amazon Web Services in 2019), and Ron Kimchi, former general manager of AWS migration and disaster recovery services, Eon launched in October with $130 million in funding. With the new funding from BOND, Eon has now raised $200 million in under a year from Sequoia Capital, Lightspeed Venture Partners, Greenoaks, and dozens of industry leaders.
“With Eon we set out to put an end to backup challenges for enterprises by providing instant access to all backed-up cloud data. This fundamentally changes the essence of backups by making them instrumental to businesses for the first time,” said Ofir Ehrlich, Co-Founder and CEO of Eon. “During our conversations with Jay and the BOND team it became clear how valuable they would be as a partner to Eon as we work to reinvent cloud backup management. BOND’s track record of investing in industry-defining companies speaks for itself, and we are excited to have them join us”.
Eon will be attending AWS re:Invent in Las Vegas from December 2nd – 6th with CTO Ron Kimchi speaking at a breakout session. Alongside Chris Rogers, Senior Manager of Storage Solutions Architects at AWS, they will present a session that will explore advanced capabilities for cloud backup and recovery.
About Eon
Eon’s mission is to provide instant access to all backed-up cloud data, through a next-generation platform – unlocking backups’ true potential. By introducing the first backup autopilot for the age of cloud infrastructure, Eon brings cloud backup posture management (CBPM) to enterprises and transforms traditional, hard-to-use cloud backups into useful, easy-to-manage assets. Founded in 2024 by Ofir Ehrlich and Gonen Stein, of the CloudEndure founding team (acquired by Amazon), along with Ron Kimchi, former GM of AWS Migration and Disaster Recovery Services, Eon is backed by leading venture capital firms including BOND, Sequoia, Greenoaks, and Lightspeed, as well as dozens of industry leaders.

NEW YORK, Nov. 26, 2024 — Stocktwits, the original social platform for investors and traders, has partnered with Spot.dog, a trading platform which aims to bridge the gap between the complexities and risks of meme coin trading and the average user. Stocktwits has introduced a seamless “Buy Button” for meme coins on all Solana-based tickers.
This integration will allow Stocktwits users to easily purchase meme coins via signing up with social logins like Google and Apple to buy meme coins with their debit card or Apple Pay – offering a frictionless trading experience.

Spot’s trading platform provides exactly that—an intuitive, web2-like experience that streamlines the entire buying process. “The addition of the ‘Buy Button’ on our Solana tickers is a fun, educational and potentially profitable platform for our users,” said Howard Lindzon, CEO at Stocktwits. “By partnering with Spot, we’re making it fast and easy for users to purchase meme coins.
This integration is part of our ongoing commitment to delivering innovative features that empower our community of investors and traders.” The Spot platform allows users to purchase meme coins effortlessly, but the company’s long-term goal is much more ambitious – to become the on-chain equivalent of reputable centralized exchanges such as Coinbase. Spot.dog aims to deliver the same level of brand trust, security, and reliability to the broader DeFi ecosystem.
“Memes have far transcended being just jokes—they’re an asset class that is here to stay, and we’re thrilled to partner with Stocktwits to make trading them easier than ever,” said Nicky Montana, Co-Founder and CEO of Spot. “This partnership places Spot at the epicenter of the meme coin frenzy, and we’re excited to bring our streamlined trading experience to Stocktwits’ vibrant community of investors and traders.”

Cardless Reports 5x Increase in Annual Revenue Over 12 Months
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 26, 2024 — Cardless, a leading fintech innovator known for transformative co-branded credit card solutions, announced a $30 million growth investment round led by Activant Capital, with participation from new and existing investors including Mischief (the fund co-founded by Plaid’s Zach Perret), Industry Ventures, Thayer Ventures, Assurant and Amex Ventures. This brings Cardless’ total equity funding to date to over $90 million. Despite industry challenges like rising interest rates and inflation, Cardless has seen more than 10x revenue growth since the start of 2023.
The new funding will support the company’s continued development of industry-leading co-branded credit card and loyalty products, ongoing talent hiring in engineering and operations, and expansion into major retail, e-commerce, and SMBs. Cardless is the only fintech to power co-brand cards on all three of the largest global payment networks: Visa, Mastercard, and American Express, and one of only a handful of fintechs in the US to offer through its platform a Visa Infinite product, Visa’s most premium card variant.
“Over the last 12 months we’ve been able to design products for some of the best brands in the world, including Qatar Airways and Alibaba,” said Michael Spelfogel, Co-Founder and President of Cardless. “These brands chose us because of our differentiated approach to the entire co-branded card experience. From embedded servicing to leveraging a brand’s data for personalized sign-up offers, Cardless delivers an experience that other cobrand-focused banks and fintechs cannot match. We’ll use this funding to further build out a world-class team, enabling us to scale both new and existing programs.”
Cardless has experienced rapid growth, outpacing competitors and building significant momentum. In the past year, the company has tripled its Gross Transaction Value (GTV) and increased its Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) by fivefold. Cardholder numbers have doubled in the last six months, and its premium co-branded cards are averaging nearly 20 transactions per month, reflecting strong top-of-wallet behavior. With a global presence working with brands across four continents, Cardless continues to lead in co-branded card innovation and growth.
In 2024, Cardless continued to expand its portfolio of co-branded credit cards with a series of high-profile launches. The company partnered with major airlines like Avianca and Qatar, the latter of which won World’s Best Airline for the 8th time at the 2024 World Airline Awards, managed by Skytrax. These additions build on Cardless existing partnerships with LATAM and TAP Air Portugal, bringing their total number of airline co-branded partners to four. Additionally, Cardless ventured into the business and e-commerce space by partnering with Alibaba to introduce its first business credit card, designed for small and medium-sized businesses.
“Cardless is attacking one of the largest markets in fintech that has historically been woefully underserved,” said Andrew Steele, Co-founder of Activant Capital. “Before Cardless, the largest brands in the world had been unwilling to launch credit cards because the customer experience provided by cobrand-focused banks didn’t meet their standards. Cardless has been able to take the industry head on and launch cards with some of the most sought-after brands on the market. Cardless has built the only embedded platform capable of servicing both consumers and SMBs and we’re excited to double down as they continue to scale large programs for some of the best companies in the world.”
About Cardless Cardless partners with brands to design and manage innovative co-branded credit card programs. The company’s seamless digital experience and powerful technology enable personalized rewards and enhanced customer benefits. Cards are issued by First Electronic Bank.

The Series B funding will fuel AMPECO’s ambitious growth strategy across multiple fronts. The company plans to accelerate product innovation, enhancing its platform to provide the most robust feature set for large-scale EV charging providers globally. Additionally, AMPECO will expand its presence in key markets, including Western Europe, Scandinavia, the UK, North America, and Southeast Asia. To support this growth, the company aims to double its team size over the next two years, bringing in top talent across all departments to drive its mission forward.
