RFPIO Acquires InHub to Fortify its Position as the Request Management Technology of Choice for Financial Services, Investment and Consulting Teams

BEAVERTON, Ore., Feb. 15, 2022 — RFPIO announced today that the organization completed its acquisition of InHub, a leading RFx management solution for the investment community.

InHub is joining RFP360, the global business division of RFPIO dedicated to serving the emerging request management software market. Request management technology empowers teams to more efficiently collect, organize and evaluate information from vendors and suppliers using RFPs, RFIs, RFQs and other digital RFx tools. The move furthers RFPIO’s core mission of streamlining the purchasing lifecycle.

“Acquiring InHub is a big step forward and we’re thrilled to leverage their extensive experience as we transform how organizations request information, respond to requests, and connect,” said Ganesh Shankar, CEO of RFPIO. “We look forward to working with InHub to bring even more buyers and sellers together in one platform — saving time, reducing costs, simplifying collaboration and improving business outcomes for everyone involved.”

According to RFPIO’s CPO/CTO, AJ Sunder, InHub aligns perfectly with RFP360’s current product development, go-to-market and customer success strategy. InHub has built an impeccable reputation — trusted by more than 2,500 organizations — helping leading investment firms and institutional investors including corporations, nonprofits and municipalities with their RFx process. North Pier Search Consulting, OneDigital, NFL Players Association, California Wellness Foundation and the University of Central Florida Foundation are a few recent success stories.

InHub’s founder and CEO, Ariana Amplo, will join the RFPIO leadership team reporting to RFPIO’s COO, Sankar Lagudu, and play a key role in shaping the business division’s short- and long-term strategy while expanding its customer success offerings.

“Our focus at InHub has always been to help our customers make better investment and procurement decisions using our RFx technology and expertise,” said Amplo. “This new chapter is exciting for everyone involved, because we can continue that successful work at an accelerated pace and global scale — increasing our presence in emerging RFx markets alongside RFP360 while capitalizing on RFPIO’s best-in-class approach.”

Certain statements about K1 Investment Management LLC (“K1”) made by portfolio company executives herein are intended to illustrate K1's business relationship with such persons, including with respect to K1's facilities as a business partner, rather than K1's capabilities or expertise with respect to investment advisory services. Portfolio company executives were not compensated in connection with their participation, although they generally receive compensation and investment opportunities in connection with their portfolio company roles, and in certain cases are also owners of portfolio company securities and/or investors in K1-sponsored vehicles. Such compensation and investments subject participants to potential conflicts of interest in making the statements herein. For K1, “carbon neutral” means that any greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions derived from a defined scope of K1’s activities are balanced by an equivalent amount removed, including through our purchase of carbon credits. In this report, our “carbon neutral” status is based on our GHG emissions footprint calculated in accordance with the GHG Protocol as of December 31st, 2023 (comprising Scope 2 Electricity and Gas usage and certain Scope 3 categories: Business Travel and Employee Commuting), amounting to an estimated 3,497 metric tons CO2e. K1 then purchased and applied carbon credits in 2024, amounting to an estimated 6,994 metric tons of CO2e. We engaged a third party to assist with the calculation of K1’s estimated GHG emissions for 2023, but we did not obtain independent, third-party verification of our “carbon neutral” status. To address our 2023 emissions, we contributed to the Conservación y Captura de Carbono / Conservation and Carbon Capture (CO2LTZINGO) reforestation carbon removal project in Coltzingo, Mexico (CAR 1464). This project was certified by the Climate Action Reserve (CAR), using the Protocolo Forestal para México (PFM) Versión 1.5 / Mexico Forest Protocol Version 1.5 and the Guía de Cuantificación de Acervos de Carbono y Monitoreo del Proyecto Versión 1.5 / Project Monitoring and Carbon Stock Quantification Guidance Version 1.5 with a validation date of January 15th, 2019.
