POCATELLO, Idaho, Aug. 11, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Life Safety Inspection Vault (LIV), an industry-leading provider of inspection, testing, and maintenance (ITM) compliance software for Authorities Having Jurisdiction (AHJs), including fire prevention bureaus, municipalities, and regulatory agencies, has secured $28.7 million in growth capital from Mainsail Partners, a growth equity firm investing in bootstrapped vertical SaaS companies.
