IMP Software secures investment to accelerate innovation and broaden their unified financial management platform for the education sector

Exeter, September 25, 2025 - IMP Software, the leading platform helping Multi-Academy Trusts to strengthen their budget forecasting and financial management, today announced a significant minority investment from Partech Growth fund to support its next stage of development.

The partnership with Partech, a focused technology growth investor, will allow IMP to more than double its R&D investment — evolving its product suite and launching new solutions for Multi-Academy Trusts. Just as importantly, it ensures IMP’s best-in class customer support remains front and centre.

Will Jordan, CEO and Co-Founder of IMP Software, said: “Our growth has always come from a simple approach: attract the best and brightest team that we can find, listen carefully to our customers, build solutions that genuinely help, and positively surprise customers with the level of support that we provide. This new investment will give customers comfort that IMP is forging our own path and doubling down on the customer centricity that has led us to this point. The investment will also allow us to increase the pace of development of new products whilst continuing to rapidly improve IMP Planner, which will always sit at the heart of our solution suite. We’re excited to move forward under this new partnership, supported by Partech’s experience in scaling companies with our profile, but for customers, it will be business as usual as we will ensure that acceleration does not come at the cost of quality.”

Partech’s investment brings not only capital but deep experience supporting fast-growing product-led technology companies. Will Jordan’s shareholding and commitment to the business remains unchanged and the original founders remain majority shareholders and in control of the business to continue to guide its direction.

“Customers have put huge trust in us over the years, and we take that responsibility seriously,” added co-founder, Dave Hall. “Our success is tied directly to doing a great job for MATs. This investment is about doubling down on that commitment, building more, improving faster, and further enhancing support. Our team have done an incredible job getting us to this point and the strength and depth that we now have across all functions means that we are well placed to rapidly scale the business over the years ahead.”

Mat Truche-Gordon, Chair at IMP Software, said: “What stood out about Partech was their cultural fit with us and how they share our values and commitment to customer centricity. IMP’s journey from start-up to market leader in six years is impressive and this investment will enable us to realise our vision to become the partner of choice for education finance teams.”

“We have long admired IMP's growth and are immensely impressed by their rapid transition from a bootstrapped startup to a clear market leader,” commented Andrew Whiting, Partner from Partech. “Their success is powered by a first-class product suite and their pursuit of solving the day-to-day pain points of education finance professionals. Partech is excited to support IMP Software in this next phase – scaling R&D, expanding the product portfolio, and reinforcing their customer-first approach.”
