DFJ Esprit-backed Redkite Financial Markets Acquired By NICE Systems After A Year

A win for DFJ Esprit today, the European partner of Silicon Valley-based venture capital firm Draper Fisher Jurvetson, following the news of a successful acquisition of its portfolio company Redkite Financial Markets by NASDAQ-traded NICE Systems. DFJ Esprit only invested in Redkite in July 2011. Redkite has a real-time software solution for financial market surveillance. DFJ put in $1.14 million into the company but the terms of the sale have not been disclosed. Redkite equips financial institutions with tools to monitor, analyse and act on trading conditions in real-time. This helps detect suspicious transactions and trading behaviour and ultimately identify rogue trading. As you can imagine, it's the kind of thing that has been pretty hot of late.
