“We built NinjaOne around a simple principle: every decision has to deliver real value to the IT teams and MSPs we serve, and that extends to who we bring on as investment partners,” said Chris Matarese, President and co-founder at NinjaOne. “Because we are profitable, this raise was never about needing capital to grow. We had a long list of firms interested in providing financing, and we used this round as an opportunity to pick the best possible partners to help us better serve our customers.”

“NinjaOne is solving some of the most critical challenges facing organizations today as IT environments become more distributed, complex, and security-sensitive — and we believe it is uniquely positioned to lead in the space,” said Rick Brubaker, Managing Director, BDT & MSD. “Sal, Chris, and their team have built a category-defining platform with a rare combination of durable growth, profitability, and customer loyalty. This investment speaks to our strategy of providing patient, aligned capital to founders building generational companies, and we look forward to a successful partnership for many years to come.”

“NinjaOne is operating in a large and expanding market with a level of consistency and velocity that’s rare at this scale,” said Osman Nur, Principal, Late-Stage Growth, Wellington Management Private Investing. “Their ability to expand within customers, successfully enter new market segments, and strategically integrate AI into their platform gives us confidence in the durability of their growth and the size of the opportunities ahead.”

“In moments like this, the market rewards companies that deliver real, operational value. NinjaOne has built its platform around the premise of unifying IT to simplify work, and is integrating AI in a way that strengthens, not complicates, that foundation,” said Derek Zanutto, General Partner at CapitalG. “That combination positions them to continue gaining momentum as the landscape shifts.”

“Expanding our partnership with NinjaOne reflects our conviction in both the business and its direction,” said Roy Luo, General Partner at ICONIQ. “Sal and the team have taken a deliberate approach to AI, building it into the product and roadmap in a way that directly improves customer outcomes. That level of focus and discipline is what we believe will continue to accelerate NinjaOne’s growth.”

“Sal and Chris have a rare blend of visionary product leadership and operational discipline,” said Isaiah Boone, Partner at Sequoia Capital. “By centering customers in every decision, they’ve built a platform that just works – it’s easy to use, gives IT teams and MSPs time back to be more productive, and delivers significant value.”

“NinjaOne has an unmatched commitment to understanding and solving mission-critical challenges facing public sector organizations,” said Mina Faltas, Founder and CEO of Washington Harbour Partners. “Federal IT teams are the backbone of government operations, and they’re continually asked to do more with fewer resources. NinjaOne is uniquely positioned for this moment because the platform provides the technology to streamline operations and strengthen resilience, allowing federal IT teams to refocus on strategic initiatives that advance their agencies’ missions.”

“NinjaOne is purpose-built for modern IT operations, replacing fragmented tools with a single cloud-native platform that drives efficiency, automation, and control at scale, with AI embedded to enable smarter, more autonomous IT operations,” said Rick Prostko, Senior Managing Director at Teachers’ Venture Growth, the late-stage venture and growth investment arm of Ontario Teachers’ Pension Plan. “We believe the company is well positioned to compound growth as demand for integrated IT platforms increases.”

“What struck us about NinjaOne is the combination of product velocity and deep customer trust they have built over time. The result is an enterprise-grade platform rich with automation capabilities and structural advantages that compound with every customer they add,” said Dawit Heck, Principal at Hedosophia.

“The shift toward unified IT operations isn't a trend that’s coming – it’s already here,” said Alex Sharata, Partner at NEA. “Organizations everywhere are dealing with too many tools and too much complexity. NinjaOne recognized that problem early and built a platform that cuts complexity at scale and allows customers to be more agile and productive. We believe NinjaOne is defining where the market goes next, and we’re thrilled to partner with the team on the journey ahead.”
