Christiana Sciaudone of A Media Operator writes about Arizent’s transformation into a news and intelligence product sold at enterprise levels, which is off to a start—albeit a slow one.

Sciaudone writes, “The rollout began last year with two verticals, payments (under American Banker) and legal intelligence (under Bond Buyer). The payments product launched around September and signed nine enterprise clients, followed by the legal intelligence launch in October with one enterprise customer to date.

“In 2024, Arizent generated $24.5 million in annual recurring revenue and, in 2025, $25.5 million. About $1 million of that each year is organic, Arizent Chief Executive Officer Jeff Mancini told AMO. Including licensing, they grew subscription revenue 7% from one year to the next.

“The target to double revenue to $50 million in 2028 will come not only from around 10% organic subscription growth, but also from built-in price increases of 10% a year on enterprises subs and escalating licensing products through channels like Lexis Nexis and Bloomberg. And they’ll definitely need to do some M&A, Mancini said.”
