Strategic partnership with Sixth Street will accelerate Centreon’s growth and strengthen its European leadership in Sovereign IT Observability.
Paris – November 27, 2025 – Centreon, a leading European provider of IT monitoring and observability solutions, today announced a strategic partnership with Sixth Street, a global investment firm, to accelerate its development plan and support its ambition to establish Centreon as the leading European observability platform.
This milestone marks Centreon’s first-ever fundraising after years of sustained, self-financed growth. Bootstrapped since its founding, Centreon has achieved international scale and recognition while maintaining a disciplined and profitable growth model. The strategic partnership with Sixth Street represents a new phase of expansion and innovation designed to amplify Centreon’s next chapter and support the strategy and mission of the Centreon team.
“This partnership marks an important step for Centreon,” said Julien Mathis, CEO and Co-Founder of Centreon. “We have built Centreon as an independent, European company – efficient, profitable, and trusted by hundreds of enterprises worldwide. Partnering with Sixth Street will allow us to accelerate our growth and innovation roadmap, while continuing to operate with the same spirit of sovereignty and entrepreneurship that defines who we are.”
This partnership comes on the heels of the recent launch of the Centreon Observability Platform, unveiled at last month’s Centreon Summit. The new platform unifies IT Infrastructure Monitoring, Log Management, and Digital Experience Monitoring into a modular, open observability solution.
With Sixth Street’s support, Centreon aims to accelerate its strategic roadmap through:
- Product innovation, enhancing AI-driven automation, analytics, and full-stack observability;
- International expansion, particularly across Europe and North America;
- Selective acquisitions, to complement organic growth and broaden the company’s technology portfolio, and;
- Ecosystem development, strengthening alliances with technology partners, MSPs, and integrators.
“Centreon’s platform provides users with a critical solution for IT monitoring, ensuring comprehensive visibility for businesses that depend on cloud platforms and workflows for digital performance,” said Taddeo Vender, Managing Director at Sixth Street. “Through self-financed growth, Centreon has become a leader in the European technology landscape, and we are excited to help accelerate its next chapter of growth and innovation in a rapidly expanding market.”
Centreon’s founders and management team retain board and capital control of the company, ensuring the continuity in its strategic vision, values, and commitment to openness, transparency, and customer proximity.
The partnership with Sixth Street strengthens this positioning — combining the agility of a European start-up with the backing of a global investor committed to long-term value creation.
Centreon was advised by Stifel (formerly Bryan Garnier & Co).
