Divine Interventures

Chicago, IL

Divine, originally Divine Interventures, was a company that invested in internet companies during the dot-com era that was originally modeled after CMGI. The company's tagline was \'an Internet Zaibatsu\'​ and the company's goal was to create \'a family of businesses that work collaboratively to create mutual opportunity and gain.\'​ In April 2003, Divine's assets were sold to Saratoga Partners, Golden Gate Private Equity, Little Bear Investment, and Outtask, for a total of $54 million. Saratoga Partners then sold the enterprise content management business to FatWire. The Open Market patents were acquired by Soverain Software.
