What sets Insight Partners apart

A unique approach to the market

  • Insight knows the many sub-sectors of the Saas software world through the experience of over 500 successful past investments,
  • The teams deploy highly mastered Playbooks; Insight systematically deploys the same methodologies that have made past deals so successful,
  • For greater efficiency and responsiveness, employee roles are highly segmented: many resources are dedicated solely to sourcing opportunities, while others are dedicated to supporting companies by business line, in addition to the investment team and traditional support functions.

Outsized growth as a compelling investment criterion

  • Insight focuses on companies with proven technology, disrupting their markets and addressing very large customer bases in order to pursue growth,
  • The median annual sales growth rate of companies in which Insight begins investing exceeds 80%,
  • Insight's track record and added value enable it to attract the world's best entrepreneurs.

A disciplined, proven strategy

  • Insight Partners has one of the best international investment track records in the software world, and despite its size, focuses on just one sector,
  • Unrivalled intelligence in all processes: automated analysis of market opportunities, growing investment strategy to focus on the best-performing companies, diversification, monetisation discipline, etc.
