CairnPeak Advises Spur Intelligence on Investment from Insight Partners

CairnPeak Advisors served as strategic advisor to Spur Intelligence on its investment from Insight Partners, a global software investment firm. The transaction positions Spur, a leader in IP intelligence, to accelerate product development, expand its intelligence coverage, and scale enterprise operations as it confronts rising abuse from VPNs, residential proxies, bots, and AI-driven infrastructure.

Spur's platform helps security and fraud teams identify when internet traffic is being intentionally obscured, delivering that intelligence through APIs, data feeds, and real-time integrations. Insight's investment reflects strong confidence in both the IP intelligence category and Spur's leadership position within it.

For Spur co-founders Riley Kilmer and Ethan Smith, this was their first strategic transaction of this kind. Andrew Gaffney of CairnPeak Advisors worked with the Spur team on deal terms, guided them through due diligence, and advised on what to expect at each stage of the process.

As Ethan Smith, Co-Founder of Spur Intelligence, put it:

"We closed the transaction quickly and efficiently, which would not have been possible without an advisor who had done this many times before. The whole process was very smooth, and having trusted, experienced counsel on our side made all the difference."

Congratulations to Riley, Ethan, and the entire Spur Intelligence team on this milestone.
