inforcer Raises $35M Series B for Microsoft MSP Platform

Summary:

inforcer raised $35 million in a Series B round led by Dawn Capital, Europe's largest B2B fund, with participation from existing investor Meritech Capital, announced 22 July 2025. The raise followed a $19 million Series A in autumn 2024 and funds product development for MSPs, starting with AI-based policy analysis and AI Readiness Assessments. At the time, inforcer served an 800-plus MSP customer base from offices in the US, UK, Netherlands, Denmark and Australia.

London, 22 July 2025: inforcer, a leading Microsoft multi-tenant management solution for MSPs, has raised $35 million in a Series B round led by Dawn Capital, Europe’s largest B2B fund, with participation of existing investors, Meritech Capital. 

The tenant is the new server 

Built and funded by veterans of the industry, inforcer bridges the gap between MSPs and Microsoft, ultimately helping SMBs across the globe adopt Microsoft’s enterprise-grade technologies. Since launching in 2022, inforcer has become an essential tool in the modern MSP software stack, allowing MSPs to easily standardize, roll out, back up, restore, and manage Microsoft 365 policies, users, alerts, and security tools across multiple tenants.  

inforcer exists to solve modern MSPs’ challenges, as summarized by Gary Melvin, Security Division Lead at Nostra: 

“Introducing customers to Business Premium, and providing them with the most valuable licensing, is only the first step. The other is to make sure those licenses stay configured and up to date. Trying to do that across 300 customers is impossible without inforcer.” 

Microsoft is already leading the way in delivering productivity, cloud computing, security, and AI to enterprise businesses. While 80% of SMBs already use Microsoft solutions, many of the AI and security solutions included in their existing licenses are currently underutilized due to the manual effort and management overhead required to roll them out. inforcer solves this challenge, allowing forward-thinking MSPs to unlock Microsoft’s powerful security and AI solutions for their SMB customers. 

inforcer is now leading the charge for cloud-first MSPs, allowing them to replace legacy revenue streams from server management, maintenance, patching and monitoring. inforcer facilitates a new, modern approach to managing the tenant – where all IT administration should now be done. By solving the multi-tenant challenge, inforcer allows MSPs to standardize their clients on the Microsoft stack and eliminate the costs of third-party tools. This enables them to run a more efficient, profitable business model.   

Secretary of State for Science, Innovation, and Technology, Peter Kyle, summarizes the importance of cyber security for the economy: 

“Economic growth is the cornerstone of our Plan for Change, and ensuring the digital security of our businesses is essential if we are going to realise its potential. 

“The upcoming Cyber Security and Resilience Bill will help make the UK’s digital economy one of the most resilient in the world. Companies like inforcer are already playing their part, equipping IT service providers with the tools to implement secure solutions for the businesses they support - giving companies and citizens the confidence they need to embrace technology and power our growth.” 

CEO, Jamie Daum, explains inforcer’s mission: 

“The world is turning its head to Microsoft as the answer to AI and security adoption in enterprise. inforcer is helping bring these enterprise-grade technologies to the SMB.

“In the modern, Cloud-first landscape, where all business data sits within Microsoft’s Cloud or other SaaS apps, the Microsoft tenant is the new server for MSPs. Leading MSPs are taking advantage of Microsoft’s best of breed security and AI solutions – technologies that many SMBs are already paying for in their existing licencing but, due to large set up and management overheads, are simply underutilised. We have a unique opportunity, through our MSP partners, to truly accelerate security and AI adoption across the SMB landscape, helping drive better global economic and security outcomes.”

The AI opportunity 

inforcer closed its Series B just months after its $19 million Series A completion in autumn 2024, led by Meritech Capital – investors in Salesforce, Meta, Huntress, Rewst, and Datadog. This new raise, led by Dawn Capital, will accelerate inforcer’s product roadmap exponentially. Much of the capital will be funnelled into product innovation and development to help MSPs solve operational challenges, adapt to the changes in the technology landscape, and sustain a long-term profitable business model.  

By investing in AI, inforcer will help MSPs meet rising demands for AI and AI Readiness services in the SMB market. By expanding on the platform’s existing security and AI capabilities, inforcer intends to lower the barriers to using Microsoft for MSPs, helping engineers to more easily assess the complex policy landscape to ensure environments are secure and ready to start implementing AI.
 
Just this month, AI-based policy analysis and impact assessments have been added to the platform, allowing users to read clear summaries of what policies do, see warnings about potential impact, view real-world examples of what policies govern, and compare baseline and live tenant settings with AI-generated context. Following the raise, these developments will only continue, starting with AI Readiness Assessments.  

As AI adoption skyrockets across industries, inforcer aims to help MSPs not just keep pace with change but become true leaders in both security and productivity driven by AI. The ability to facilitate a secure managed intelligence service, built around Copilot and underpinned by enterprise-grade Microsoft security, will allow MSPs to become a ‘one-stop shop’ for SMBs and their technical needs. Using the investment, inforcer will support their MSP partners through this transition. 

Evgenia Plotnikova, General Partner at Dawn Capital and new member of the inforcer Board, commented, “inforcer has the potential to help MSPs capitalize on a tectonic technology platform shift by becoming true strategic AI partners to their end customers, small businesses. We are thrilled to be supporting Jamie and inforcer’s brilliant team, who have the vision, the drive and the talent to scale globally and to build a generational business.”  

A global community of MSPs

inforcer has already seen rapid global expansion in the past two years, both across its team and its customer base. The company now has dedicated offices in the US, UK, Netherlands, Denmark, and Australia and has been adopted by high-profile MSPs and groups across the US, EMEA, and APAC, forming an 800+ strong customer base as of June 2025.

Recently, inforcer has attracted industry heavyweights to join its already 100-strong team. Recent hires include Matthé Smit as Chief Product Officer, who brings 20 years of industry expertise from major channel players, Autotask, Datto, and Kaseya, and Christian Nagele as Chief Strategy Officer, Co-Founder of Datto RMM, a solution that now serves over 8 million end users across SMBs globally. Drawing upon their years of experience in the industry, these key players will help drive inforcer’s security and AI roadmap forward.  

inforcer's community remains at the heart of the business and the team is always looking for ways to connect with MSPs, both online and in person. The team will continue to attend key channel events across the globe, and plan to facilitate more of their own too. This follows the success of their ‘Winning with Microsoft’ events held in collaboration with Microsoft this year at their HQs in London, Sydney, and Amsterdam.  

inforcer will use the Series B capital to become even closer to its customers, continue to hire key channel players across the globe, and grow its MSP community; all with the goal of helping their partners to unlock Microsoft's enterprise-grade AI and security solutions for their SMB customers.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much did inforcer raise in its Series B and who led the round?

inforcer raised $35 million in a Series B round announced on 22 July 2025. Dawn Capital, Europe's largest B2B fund, led the round, with existing investor Meritech Capital participating. Evgenia Plotnikova, General Partner at Dawn Capital, joined the inforcer board as part of the investment.

What is inforcer using the Series B funding for?

Most of the capital goes into product development: AI-based policy analysis and impact assessments launched in July 2025, with AI Readiness Assessments next. inforcer also committed to hiring experienced channel leaders, attending and hosting more MSP events, and growing its MSP community across the US, EMEA and APAC.

Who invested in inforcer before the Series B?

Meritech Capital led inforcer's $19 million Series A in autumn 2024. Meritech has also backed Salesforce, Meta, Huntress, Rewst and Datadog. The Series B closed just months after the Series A, with Meritech returning as a participating investor alongside new lead Dawn Capital.

How many MSPs used inforcer at the time of the Series B?

As of June 2025, inforcer had an 800-plus customer base of MSPs and MSP groups across the US, EMEA and APAC, supported by a team of around 100 people with offices in the US, UK, Netherlands, Denmark and Australia. The platform launched in 2022.

What does "the tenant is the new server" mean for MSPs?

In a cloud-first business, customer data lives in Microsoft's cloud and other SaaS apps rather than on a server in the office, so the Microsoft 365 tenant becomes the place where IT administration happens. inforcer enables MSPs who standardize customers on the Microsoft stack to replace legacy server management revenue and stop paying for redundant third-party tools.

Why does inforcer say Microsoft security and AI features go unused in SMBs?

About 80% of SMBs already use Microsoft solutions, and many security and AI features are included in licences they already pay for. The manual effort to roll those features out across many tenants is what holds adoption back, which is the overhead inforcer's multi-tenant platform is built to remove.
