Oktey has been acquired by Vincent Saint-Martin and Ciclad

July 2022 — Stéphane Manhes and other shareholders of Oktey Altospam have sold the company to Vincent Saint-Martin.

Oktey Altospam is an integrated SaaS B2B services provider, protecting email accounts from spam, viruses, scams and phishing. The firm allows companies that own at least one domain name to secure its email servers. It combines 16 anti-spam technologies and six anti-viruses, as well as other security services such as anti-relay, anti-scam, anti-phishing and protection against denial-of-service attacks. The company generates over US$2 million ARR, with steady growth over the years of 5–6%.

Vincent Saint-Martin is a French entrepreneur involved in several digital projects. He is the founder of Unevoiturealouer, which then became Ouicar, and which he significantly developed over the years. Ouicar has recently been sold to American peer-to-peer car-sharing company Turo. Vincent Saint-Martin is supported by French private equity group Ciclad.
