IO Connect Services: Growth Equity Investment Received From East Los Capital

By Noah Long • Nov 28, 2023

IO Connect Services – an AWS Advanced Tier Partner – recently announced a majority growth equity investment from East Los Capital to expand its service offerings and engineering staff in anticipation of the next wave of growth from the continued adoption of cloud computing and the increasingly complex needs of its clients.

Launched in 2019 by Dr. Javier Machuca-Navarro, PhD, IO Connect has established a strong presence in the SMB and digitally native business (DNB) verticals while offering advanced migrations, cybersecurity, and managed services combined with a full suite of digital transformation offerings.

IO Connect is fully committed to the AWS ecosystem with its deep array of offerings and dominant market position among the hyperscalers. This enables the rapid delivery of premium solutions to clients.

KEY QUOTES:

“The evolution of cloud service providers has reached a point at which partners need to deliver on increasingly complex legacy lift and shift migrations while also powering their client’s IT infrastructure with the newest cloud-enabled intelligent technologies. Partners need to ensure that their clients have what they need to be the best in their verticals.” 

“We are proud to be partnering with AWS as their market leading position in cloud services greatly enhances our abilities to connect with customers and deliver on our promise to power the future of cloud.”

  • Dr. Machuca-Navarro

“IO Connect has been key to our success along our journey. From our original standup of the MuleSoft platform to their continued support to help us meet project demand, IO Connect has provided us with excellent architecture and development resources through all phases.”

  • Scott Yarman, Director of Enterprise Architecture at Medical Mutual of Ohio

“IO Connect delivers great value add from both a strategic perspective and hands on technical expertise. Their deep expertise in cloud engineering and data analytics fortifies a company’s cloud infrastructure and processing pipelines.” 

  • Retail industry CIO veteran and consultant William Nixon

“After the recent successful exit of our last AWS cloud services investment, the bar was set very high, but IO Connect impressed on every metric from the technical expertise of Dr. Navarro to their single-minded focus on solving complex problems for their clients.”
