Simplify's Take

What believers are saying

  • September 2026 deal flow stayed hot: Exiger, Archy, and SewerAI all closed financings.
  • GrowthCap named JMI among top private equity firms on August 27, 2026.
  • The firm reported nearly 200 investments, 40,000 jobs, and over $11 billion portfolio revenue.

What critics are saying

  • Software exits look tougher after Seismic and Highspot announced a merger on February 13, 2026.
  • JMI’s edge depends on AI adoption; if automation commoditizes, portfolio pricing compresses fast.
  • If 2026 realizations stall, carried interest, fundraising, and hiring momentum all suffer simultaneously.

What makes JMI Equity unique

  • 1992-founded JMI Equity backs scaling software and AI companies from growth through liquidity.
  • JMI’s 2026 deals span regulated niches: Exiger, Archy, SewerAI, and First Due.
  • The firm pairs capital with operator playbooks, running GTM, CFO, and AI roundtables.

Archy raises $50M to automate dental office operations

Archy has raised $50 million in Series C funding for its practice-management software targeting independent dental offices, CEO Jonathan Rat told Axios. The company addresses a common challenge faced by smaller dental practices, where nonclinical staff typically handle payments and insurance work manually or outsource these tasks to billing firms. The funding will support Archy's mission to automate administrative processes in dental offices, helping practices streamline operations beyond clinical care.
