Nonprofit-focused software company Convio refiles for an IPO

January 25, 2010

Convio, which provides integrated software solutions to 1,300 nonprofit organizations to assist with fundraising and relationship management capabilities, filed on Monday with the SEC to raise up to $58 million in an initial public offering. The Austin, TX-based company, which was founded in 1999 and booked $63 million in sales over the last 12 months, previously filed to go public in August of 2007 to raise up to $86 million but withdrew the deal in August of the following year. The nonprofit focused technology company is backed by VC firms including Granite Ventures (20%) and Austin Ventures (16%). Convio plans to list on the NASDAQ under the symbol CNVO and use net proceeds for working capital and to repay a portion of their oustanding debt. Thomas Weisel and Piper Jaffray are the lead underwriters on the deal, for which pricing terms and timing were not disclosed.
