Riverside Unites Kaseware and OSINT Combine to Power Smarter, Faster Investigations

The Riverside Company, a global investment firm focused on the smaller end of the middle market, has invested in OSINT Combine, a pioneer in open-source intelligence (OSINT) software. The investment marks the first add-on to Riverside portfolio company, Kaseware, a leading provider of investigative case management software. This strategic combination delivers the first end-to-end intelligence and investigative case management platform. The combined company will empower public safety, intelligence and corporate security professionals to move seamlessly from discovery to action, reduce time-to-insight and manage cases in a compliant manner.

Founded in 2019, OSINT Combine offers industry-leading OSINT software, which is widely trusted by defense, national security, law enforcement, Fortune 500 firms and other organizations addressing complex threats. With a global customer base and teams located across Australia, North America and Europe, OSINT Combine’s software helps clients gather, analyze and operationalize open-source data for intelligence and investigative purposes.

“This combination brings together two mission-driven organizations that share a deep heritage in investigative and intelligence operations. Kaseware’s secure, audit-ready case management system is trusted by customers across the globe for its ability to streamline workflows, ensure compliance and solve cases faster,” said Riverside Managing Partner Loren Schlachet. “OSINT Combine complements this with its cutting-edge data collection and analysis capabilities, enabling users to accelerate speed to insight with precision.”

This is another example of Riverside’s dedication to its Software and IT Specialization. Riverside has completed more than 290 investments in this focus area and has a team of global experts dedicated to growing these companies.

“By joining forces with OSINT Combine, we’re not simply expanding our platform, we’re redefining what’s possible in investigative and intelligence software,” said Kaseware CEO Dorian Deligeorges. “We are thrilled to partner with Chris Poulter (OSINT Combine Founder & CEO) and his team and feel strongly that this combination now positions us to deliver the most comprehensive intelligence and investigative suite on the market.”

Poulter adds, “This merger is a leap forward in our mission to develop enduring open-source intelligence capabilities at scale. Kaseware and OSINT Combine share mutual customers today, and this combination unlocks new product development vectors to streamline intelligence and investigative workflows.”

“Public and private safety organizations are struggling to keep up with the sheer volume of available data in a case and the increasing complexity of threats and crimes,” said Senior Partner Joe Lee and Principal Jake Stoller. “This merger is about giving practitioners the power to act faster and smarter while maintaining rigorous compliance standards.”

Working alongside Schlachet, Lee and Stoller on the deal for Riverside were Assistant Vice President Tom Hillebrecht, Associate Nikolai Kassogue, Operating Partner Sumit Nijhawan and Finance Director Adam Mrozowsky. The investment was originated by Managing Partner, Origination, Jeremy Holland and Regional Director, Origination, Will Davis.
