Ellerston JAADE Australian Private Assets Fund Fund Overview

Background

Mable is the leading marketplace platform for the “Home Care” sector, across both Aged Care and NDIS segments in Australia, connecting consumers with care workers. The key tailwind within the sector has been the shift in government policy towards consumer led spend away from funding grants to care providers. This shift means consumers and their families are actively looking for better value and personalised support, making Mable’s platform appealing to a growing audience.

Mable provides a fully integrated end-to-end marketplace, by charging consumers and carers a fee based on a % of the service for facilitating the connection. It’s a highly scalable and efficient model, which enables the platform to provide a higher volume of care to clients, and deliver operational leverage.

One side of Mable’s market place is a community of carers that have had credentials verified including background and police checks. On the other side are consumers and their families looking for in home aged & disability care support. Through an online platform and with the use of algorithms, carers and consumers are matched together, independent schedules arranged and rates set.

Mable charge consumers a 5% fee and carers a 10% fee of the service for facilitating the connection, providing insurance (for both client and carer) and managing payments. This fee equates to 14.3% of the value of the delivered care.

Market Opportunity

The serviceable & addressable market today is estimated at $12bn from Disability (NDIS) and “in-home” aged care segments. This market is forecast to grow towards $30bn by FY23e.

Once the NDIS scheme is fully rolled out, it is forecasted that funding will be provided to over 460,000 people to live independently in their homes. Currently, 120,000 people are receiving “in-home” aged care and the Government has forecasted the number will rise over 1 million people by 2025. Today, Mable is servicing over 1500 clients as at October 2018 with the number growing by approx. 8% each month.

Background

Ansarada is an Australian based Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) company formed in 2005 to provide secure online data rooms for M&A transactions and other material corporate and government transactions. The company has offices in Sydney, London and Chicago with 250 employees. Since inception, Ansarada founders have remained the major shareholders of the company and have successfully grown the business to $38m in sales in FY18, having taken less than $2m of external capital since inception.

In February 2018, Ellerston Ventures led an investment of $23.4m in pre-IPO convertibles notes as the company migrates from transactional revenues to higher quality subscription income and invests in greater product capability and expanded international resources. Ansarada has agreed for Ellerston JAADE to invest an additional $10m on the same Pre-IPO convertible note terms as a seed investment for the Fund.

Business Model

After ten years of operations and 20,000+ deals Ansarada has a high degree of expertise in complex corporate and government transactions as well as highly developed security and software features that make the platform highly trusted among advisors and transaction experts. Ansarada continues to invest in new capabilities including artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning technology that brings insight and intelligence to traditional deal processes and tools. In transactions this leads to better outcomes, shorter deal times and significant return on investment for the advisors and their clients.

In 2018 Ansarada has adapted its business model and is transitioning away from providing data rooms on a deal by deal basis to recurring revenue. The product has now been adapted so that advisors and their clients subscribe to an always on platform that helps to manage sensitive information that is routinely used in corporate transactions. This means that businesses can more easily handle M&A processes, refinancing, capital raising and other corporate transactions in a more efficient manner. At the same time, the subscription platform is being made more affordable to a much larger audience of smaller and medium sized businesses.

Sales Growth & Financials

In FY18 Ansarada reported sales revenue of $38m, achieving a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of +23% over the past 5 years. In FY19e* cash sales are forecast to grow at 31%, while reported revenue growth is expected to be 15% reflecting the migration to annual subscriptions. Ansarada expects positive EBITDA in FY20e following strong investment in marketing and platform development
