Year over year growth was 88% in the first half of 2018 and that rate is expected to continue in the foreseeable future.
Mendix has recently announced the acquisition by Siemens, a move that puts Mendix in a league of its own financially. At 14x revenue the valuation is nearly twice that of any player in the space, and when coupled with the commitment by Siemens to invest an additional $1.1B into Mendix, the investment is the largest infusion of capital in the sector. Mendix will continue to operate as an independent operating unit within the $14B Siemens Software Group and the current leadership of Derek Roos, CEO and co-founder, and his Executive Team, stays intact and continues to lead the Mendix organization.
