More By The Author
We began 2025 by announcing our Fund XIII and celebrating our 30 years of investing with the Insight Way. As the year progressed, we continued to focus on upholding our legacy of investing in the next generation of software leaders, supporting our portfolio companies, and giving back to the broader software ecosystem and communities. Read on for some highlights from 2025.
A year of continued growth
Reviewing all-time firm numbers, we close 2025 with more than 875 investments and $90B in regulatory assets under management (RAUM). To date, we have celebrated more than 55 IPOs in our portfolio.
Welcoming the new, and some notable exits
In 2025, we had over 550 active companies in our portfolio, added 64 new investments, and saw more than 25 exits. Exit highlights included Alphabet’s record-breaking acquisition agreement of Wiz, Dotmatics’ acquisition by Siemens, and an IPO for Hinge Health. You can read more highlights from our portfolio in this 2025 roundup.
Supporting our portfolio
Insight Onsite is a group of 130+ professionals that connects our portfolio with expertise and curated networks. In 2025, this group hosted 40 Onsite Hour sessions on curated topics exclusively offered to our portfolio, along with supporting hiring from our talent network (over 12,000 open roles) to over 370 executive introductions. Our Government Advisory Board announced the appointment of Gen. Timothy Haugh, and our Enterprise team cohosted four impactful Founder Days with our partners at BNP Paribas, IBM, Schwarz, and ServiceNow.
In September, we welcomed CEOs across our portfolio to join some our team out in Montauk for an unforgettable Mindset experience.
