CHARLOTTE, N.C. (July 15, 2026) – Holland & Knight advised Woven Solutions, a leading provider of artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled mission software for the national security community, in a series of strategic acquisitions throughout the 12 months following its representation of Falfurrias Capital Partners in its initial investment in Woven. Specifically, Holland & Knight represented Woven in its acquisitions of Cystemic Security, Apira Technologies, Valence and Insignis.
These acquisitions expand and deepen Woven's market-leading services and offerings in the national security sector and also showcase the Holland & Knight Private Equity practice's ability to partner with private equity funds throughout the life cycle of their investments, whether it be the initial platform investment, add-on acquisitions, day-to-day portfolio company management matters or eventual exit.
