About the episode
In this episode of Thoma Bravo’s Behind the Deal, Senior Partner A.J. Rohde and Principal Peter Hernandez sit down with Nearmap CEO Andy Watt to unpack Thoma Bravo’s investment in Nearmap and the company’s evolution from an aerial imagery provider into a global property intelligence platform. They discuss how the deal originated, what made Nearmap stand out, the complexities of taking an Australian public company private and how the business has expanded through AI, software and strategic acquisitions. Andy also shares his journey from Scotland to Australia, how Nearmap scaled from roughly $40 million in revenue to more than $300 million and why the company sees a long runway ahead across insurance, construction, government and beyond.
