What we liked about Loyal Guru

Loyal Guru‘s results speak for themselves, with their platform boasting an impressive 15% retention rate on- and off-line, it’s no wonder they have managed to experience a doubling in growth year-on-year since their inception in 2016. With so much traction, it’s obvious that we would be attracted to them from an investment perspective.

However, more than this, its Loyal Guru’s big picture offering that really excited us. Historically, there haven’t been that many digital transformation themed solutions targeted specifically to the retail industry. So above all, it was this capacity to evolve the retail industry’s modus operandi with respect to boosting performance and growing across all their channels that made Loyal Guru such an enticing opportunity we just couldn’t get away from.

What we liked about Borja and Javi

There is a common misperception that VC’s are cold and calculating when evaluating the financial worth of an idea. This could not be further from the truth, in fact, we don’t really invest in ideas, we invest in people. And when you encounter founders such as Borja and Javi, you know you’ve hit the jackpot.

Their acute understanding of industry problems and their creative approach to solution generation was just the appetiser for us at Nauta. Beyond this, it was their passion and incredible work ethic with respect to realising their vision to empower retailers though digital transformation of their marketing operations.

Having built up their team to over 80 smart and talented individuals across ten countries, Borja and Javi have perfectly reflected our own views here at Nauta on diversity and above all, culture. One of creativity, hard work, and of commitment to excellence.
