minuteKEY, the world's first and largest network of self-service kiosks for accurate key duplication, today announced that it has closed an $83 million capital raise, which was arranged by Lincoln International. Funds from the transaction will support minuteKEY's impressive record of growth, as its latest generation of automated key duplication kiosks continues to roll out to retailers across the United States and Canada.

"We are excited to partner with Comvest to continue the expansion of the minuteKEY platform. The continued investment in our business will allow us to serve more consumers and will further solidify our market-leading position," said Randy Fagundo, CEO of minuteKEY.

Greg Reynolds, a Partner at Comvest Partners, added, "We look forward to continuing to build our relationship with Randy and the minuteKEY team. They have built an impressive business that we are eager to support through the continued deployment of the latest generation kiosk."

The third-generation kiosk builds on minuteKEY's usability and product offerings and represents the next evolution in self-service key duplication technology. Like previous minuteKEY kiosk models, the third-generation kiosk provides quick and reliable self-service key duplication and has a simple and intuitive customer interface. Third-generation features include a smaller footprint, bigger screen and more key chutes to provide customers with additional key types and designs. minuteKEY has already rolled out its newest kiosk in select stores, and with the closing of the capital raise, minuteKEY will significantly ramp its production and rollout of this state-of-the-art machine.

Andy Volkmann, CFO of minuteKEY, commented, "This capital raise provides the flexibility and commitment needed to drive growth in the minuteKEY platform while offering an opportunity to partner with a highly regarded institution."

Lincoln International acted as exclusive financial advisor to minuteKEY, helping to arrange and negotiate the capital raise.
