Official press release of Upliift

iWE, developer of a low-code platform dedicated to the insurance and real estate sectors, announces its acquisition by Upliift, a pan-European permanent capital (evergreen) investor specialising in software champions, notably in insurance. Advised by Largillière Finance, this transaction gives iWE an ideal, long-term partner to reach a new milestone in its development.

Co-founded in 2013 by Paul-Marie Rongiconi in Sophia Antipolis, iWE develops a low-code platform that makes it possible to build business applications for insurance and real estate professionals solely through configuration. Its all-in-one SaaS management solutions centralise all the data, processes and functionalities needed to run their operations (underwriting, policy management, premium billing, invoicing, claims management, etc.) and stand as their clients' essential business tools. iWE today supports leading players such as Allianz, Stelliant, Verspieren and BNP Paribas Real Estate. With a team of around thirty employees, iWE is targeting revenue of approximately €5 million in 2026, including around €4 million in annual recurring revenue (ARR).

Based in London, Upliift is a permanent equity investor supporting high-potential software companies across Europe. Already a shareholder in Codeoscopic in Spain, a recognised player in software for insurance brokerage, Upliift aims to build a European software platform serving the insurance sector — from SMEs to large corporates — to help them improve their productivity and performance.

Paul-Marie Rongiconi, President and co-founder of iWE: "We wanted to partner with someone who could help us take the next step, while continuing to offer tailored solutions to our clients. Upliift has deep knowledge of the insurance world, with recognised expertise in supporting the growth of software companies. Their backing will enable us to scale up and open up to the European market. We would also like to thank Largillière Finance, who advised us throughout this transaction and helped us identify a partner who shares our high standards for our clients and is perfectly aligned with our ambition."

Alex Myers, Co-founder and Co-CEO of Upliift : "We are delighted to be alongside Paul-Marie and his team for this new phase of their development. Following our investment in Codeoscopic, a software developer for insurance brokers in Spain, the arrival of iWE — whose solution is very well established among major accounts in France — will create synergies and enable us to offer a unique, European-scale platform for insurance professionals."

Nathanaël Blanc, Partner at Largillière Finance: : "We are proud to have supported Paul-Marie Rongiconi in reaching this major milestone. Insurance is a sector we know particularly well. Identifying Upliift, which offers a European dimension and a long-term approach, emerged as the best strategic choice, both for the complementarity of expertise and the convergence of development ambitions for iWE."
