Systinet, Web Services co. receives $21m financing

London -- Systinet, a leading Web Services software company founded by Prague based entrepreneur Roman Stanek, received $21m financing in a round led by private equity investment firm Warburg Pincus.

The new capital will be used to increase R&D to enhance Systinet’s WASP (Web Application and Services Platform) product, as well as increase their sales and marketing team. Systinet’s core technology enables IT architects and developers to build interoperable and compatible Web services using a comprehensive and flexible platform.

“Unlike most Web Services vendors, Systinet has a proven architecture with more than 10,000 registered users and hundreds of Web Services deployments.” Said Systinet CEO Roman Stanek, an early investor in London based Ariadne Capital.

“Web services has emerged as the next generation of distributed computing,” said Warburg Pincus Managing Director Cary Davis, “There is a tremendous opportunity for Systinet to be the leading independent software platform provider for Web Services.”

Ariadne Capital Investor Member Roman Stanek founded Systinet (formerly Idoox) in Prague in 2000. Systinet is based in Cambridge Massachusetts, with offices in London, Palo Alto and Prague. Stanek was the founder and CEO of NetBeans, Inc., a software development company specializing in enterprise applications written in the Java programming language, prior to the company's acquisition by Sun Microsystems, Inc. in October 1999.
