History
[edit]Planisware was founded in 1996 by Matthieu Delille, Pierre Demonsant, Yves Humblot, and François Pelissolo.[2] The founding team was from Thales Group,[3] a French aerospace and defence corporation.
Around May 2023 Planisware started working with investment bankers to explore a potential initial public offering (IPO).[4] At that time, the private equity group Ardian held a stake in the company.[4] In October 2023, Planisware announced plans for an IPO on Euronext Paris at a valuation of between 1.11 billion and 1.25 billion euros,[5][6] then decided to postpone the IPO due to a "deteriorated" market environment.[7] The IPO launched in April 2024 at a valuation of 1.11 billion euros.[8][9] The founders retained a majority stake in the company.[10] In September 2024, Ardian announced plans to sell their remaining shares in the company.[11]
