Insight Partners Raises $12.5B to Invest in Software Companies 

Insight Partners held the final close of its thirteenth flagship fund with a dedicated buyout co-invest fund, as well as the closing of its structured equity fund, Opportunities Fund II, at $12.5 billion to deploy in software companies to support growth at any stage.  

The funds saw strong support from both long-standing and notable new investors, with Insight’s employees representing the largest aggregate commitment to the funds.  

Insight’s flagship funds typically invest between $5 million and more than $500 million per company, with the ability to invest from the earliest institutional check to IPO. The firm said it had a year of successful exits in 2024, with total realizations of more than $8 billion, including the sales of Recorded Future to Mastercard, Own to Salesforce, WalkMe to SAP and Jama Software and AMCS to private equity sponsors. 

“These funds not only solidify our position as a global leader in software investing but also reflect our commitment to supporting founders with flexible capital, operational expertise, and enduring partnerships,” said Deven Parekh, managing director at Insight Partners. 

The closing of these new funds brings Insight Partners’ regulatory assets under management to more than $90 billion. The firm has invested in more than 800 companies and has seen over 55 portfolio companies achieve an IPO.
