Tim Wallace, chief executive of iPipeline, added: “We’re pleased to be joining Thoma Bravo, which has a track record of picking exceptional high-growth vertical market technology companies.

“We expect our relationship with Thoma Bravo to help fuel organic growth and pursue complementary acquisitions that increase our value to the insurance industry as a whole.
