BOSTON, July 29, 2026 /CNW/ -- H.I.G. Growth Partners ("H.I.G. Growth"), the dedicated growth capital investment affiliate of H.I.G. Capital, a leading global alternative investment firm with $75 billion of capital under management, is pleased to announce its investment in Rewind Software Inc. ("Rewind" or the "Company"), a SaaS resilience platform delivering industry-leading backup and recovery, business continuity, and comprehensive data governance and retention, all engineered to safeguard against data loss and disruption.

Based in Ottawa, Canada, Rewind protects company data across 16 leading cloud applications, enabling over 25,000 organizations to back up, restore, and ensure resilience of their SaaS workloads. H.I.G. Growth's investment will support the Company's growth, product innovation, and operational scale as AI adoption and the Atlassian cloud migration wave drive demand for enterprise-grade backup and recovery.

Mike Potter, CEO of Rewind, said: "We're thrilled to partner with H.I.G. Growth as we embark on this next stage of our journey and bring mission-critical solutions to enterprises around the globe. H.I.G. Growth's experience in scaling software businesses, strengthening go-to-market capabilities, and expanding channel partnerships aligns with our strategic vision for the company."

Hans Sherman, Managing Director at H.I.G. Growth, said: "As AI adoption accelerates, and autonomous agents are able to read, write, and act on data inside SaaS applications, the importance of backup and recovery grows exponentially. Rewind's differentiated platform closes the gap on business data left unprotected by SaaS platforms, delivering automated, compliant protection that becomes mission-critical for enterprises as they migrate to and adopt cloud environments. We are excited to partner with Mike and the entire Rewind team to support their continued growth and expansion."
