Liongard is a software-as-a-service platform that unlocks the intelligence hidden deep within IT systems to give MSPs an operational advantage that delivers both higher profits and an exceptional customer experience.

The additional investment comes from Updata Partners and TDF Ventures, with additional participation from early-stage investors, who have increased their existing investments in Liongard to support the company's vision to provide unified visibility into key operations at Managed Service Providers (MSPs).

"This investment enables us to continue to achieve our vision of delivering visibility into each element of the IT stack."

"We are excited to deepen our commitment with Liongard," said Carter Griffin, General Partner at Updata. "With its leading data platform for MSPs we expect continued fast-paced growth."
