Balance Point Capital Advisors, LLC (“Balance Point”), in conjunction with its affiliated fund Balance Point Capital Partners II, L.P, is pleased to announce a follow-on investment in Shift Paradigm (the “Company”). Balance Point invested debt capital in support of Shift Paradigm’s acquisition of Ergo, a world-class email marketing company based in New York City.

The combination deepens the Company’s email and customer journey capabilities, supporting Shift Paradigm’s mission of accelerating value creation through digital transformations that shift how companies grow and engage with customers.
“The Ergo transaction meaningfully expands our talented team and expertise in channel, campaign and customer engagement, AI and digital transformation,” said Liz Ross, CEO of Shift Paradigm. “Our growing platform is able to provide enhanced best-in-class services to our clients while continuing our promise to deliver innovative and transformative digital strategies with exceptional execution. Balance Point’s support and shared vision was instrumental to completing this transaction and driving our continued growth trajectory.”
