Under Peak Rock’s ownership, SBS more than quadrupled its annual recurring revenue, launched AI-powered automation tools, and more than doubled its team
AUSTIN, Texas, March 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — An affiliate of Peak Rock Capital (“Peak Rock”), a leading private investment firm focused on the middle-market, announced today that it has signed a definitive agreement for the sale of Spatial Business Systems (“SBS” or the “Company”) to Enverus, a leading energy data analytics platform backed by Blackstone.
SBS is a leading intelligent design automation platform for electric and gas utilities and other critical infrastructure assets. SBS offers a comprehensive end-to-end suite of AI-driven software solutions across the engineering design life cycle tailored to the power and infrastructure sectors, with use cases spanning distribution, substation and protection & controls applications. The Company has a global base of blue-chip customers across investor-owned utilities, municipalities and co-ops, engineering and construction firms, and broadband infrastructure operators, including more than 90% of the 25 largest investor-owned utilities in North America.
Since acquiring SBS in 2022 from its founders, Peak Rock accelerated the Company’s growth trajectory, increasing annual recurring revenue from software by over four times and more than doubling headcount. This growth was enabled by targeted investments in sales and marketing, geographic and end market expansion, and acquisitions. The Company was also empowered to invest heavily in new product development, including creating AI-powered design and reporting tools that streamline utility engineering workflows.
Jordan Campbell, Senior Managing Director of Peak Rock, said, “We are thrilled with the growth SBS has achieved under Peak Rock’s ownership. Together with management, we executed on a shared vision to drive transformational growth, converting the business to a highly recurring subscription revenue model and investing heavily in sales and marketing and AI tools.”
Dave Alter, Managing Director of Peak Rock, said, “It has been an incredible experience collaborating with, and working alongside, the SBS team. We are proud of the success SBS has achieved under our ownership and are confident that the Company is well-positioned for continued innovation in its next chapter of growth.”
Al Eliasen, President and Chief Executive Officer of SBS, added, “SBS is a special business, and we are thankful for Peak Rock’s partnership in building the business into a leading provider of intelligent design software for the electric & gas power markets. We also deeply appreciate the support of our employees, partners, and customers, and we look forward to continuing to deliver innovative solutions that advance the industry for years to come.”
Anthony DiSimone, Chief Executive Officer of Peak Rock, said, “This transaction is another great example of Peak Rock’s track record of successfully partnering with founder and family-owned software businesses to achieve transformational growth, including developing AI capabilities that unlock tremendous value for customers. We look forward to partnering with similar businesses that can benefit from our value creation capabilities and proven track record.”
Lazard and Lincoln International acted as financial advisors and Kirkland & Ellis LLP acted as the legal advisor to the Company on the transaction.
