NEW YORK, Jan. 16, 2025 – Insight Partners, a preeminent global software investor, has announced a significant milestone, with its regulatory assets under management (AUM) soaring to over $90 billion. This achievement coincides with the closing of its Fund XIII and Opportunities Fund II, collectively securing $12.5 billion to fuel the growth of leading software companies worldwide. This announcement underscores Insight Partners’ unwavering commitment to the software sector and its three-decade-long track record of fostering innovation.
The newly closed funds, Fund XIII and Opportunities Fund II, will empower Insight Partners to continue its strategy of investing in software businesses at all stages of development, from initial institutional funding rounds to pre-IPO stages. Fund XIII, the firm’s flagship fund, will maintain its flexible approach, deploying investments ranging from $5 million to over $500 million. The Opportunities Fund II is strategically designed to provide alternative financing solutions, primarily through structured preferred equity investments. This fund offers companies and their existing investors the financial agility to sustain growth trajectories and strengthen their financial positions. This dual-fund strategy enables Insight Partners to engage with a diverse spectrum of software companies globally, offering tailored financial solutions to meet their unique growth requirements.
This latest fundraising success reinforces Insight Partners’ dedication to driving innovation and nurturing the next generation of software industry leaders. The past year has been marked by significant exits for Insight, realizing over $8 billion through strategic sales, including Recorded Future to Mastercard, Own to Salesforce, WalkMe to SAP, and Jama Software and AMCS to private equity sponsors. These successful exits highlight Insight’s ability to identify and cultivate high-growth software companies, positioning them for impactful outcomes. Looking forward, Insight Partners is poised to leverage its substantial AUM and deep industry expertise to continue identifying and supporting groundbreaking software ventures for the next 30 years and beyond.
Jeff Horing, Co-Founder and Managing Director at Insight Partners, emphasized the firm’s long-term commitment, stating, “For 30 years, Insight Partners has been more than just a capital provider; we’ve been a true partner to software innovators, assisting them in scaling transformative concepts into global leaders. Fund XIII embodies the strong confidence we have cultivated with our founders, Limited Partners, and our team.” He further added, “As we commemorate this significant milestone of reaching over $90 billion in Insight Partners Aum, our focus remains steadfast on shaping the future of innovation and expansion within the software industry.”
The successful closure of these funds, with the continued support of long-standing Limited Partners and the addition of new investors, is a testament to the enduring partnerships Insight Partners has cultivated over three decades. Since its inception in 1995, Insight Partners has distinguished itself through a unique, partnership-driven approach to software investing. Recognizing that scaling a business requires more than just financial capital, Insight developed Insight Onsite, a comprehensive growth engine providing hands-on operational support. This platform offers portfolio companies tailored guidance across various critical functions, from refining go-to-market strategies to facilitating global expansion, ensuring they have the resources and expertise needed to scale effectively.
Deven Parekh, Managing Director at Insight Partners, further elaborated on the firm’s vision: “Fund XIII and Opportunities Fund II reflect our deep-seated conviction in software’s transformative power across industries and in improving lives. These funds not only solidify our position as a global leader in software investing, demonstrated by our significant Insight Partners AUM, but also underscore our pledge to support founders with flexible capital, operational knowledge, and lasting collaborations. We deeply appreciate our Limited Partners for their continued faith in our vision.” Parekh concluded, “As we look to the future, we are enthusiastic about building upon our 30 years of success, expanding our global footprint, and driving sustained innovation throughout the software ecosystem.”
