History

edit

Insight Partners was founded in 1995 by Jeff Horing and Jerry Murdock.[9][10][11] As of December 31, 2022, the firm has over $75 billion in regulatory assets under management. Insight Partners has invested in more than 750 companies worldwide and has seen over 55 portfolio companies achieve an IPO.[3] The firm has an in-house team called Onsite that assists portfolio companies in their growth.[12]

In April 2021, Insight Partners raised $1.56 billion for the Insight Partners Opportunities Fund I LP, a separate fund from its primary growth-investment vehicles.[13] Also in 2021, Insight Partners put $15 million of its capital into a new fund, the Vision Capital 2020 LP Fund, which supports minority-led firms raising early-stage funds.[14] In February 2022, the company announced that it had raised $20 billion for its twelfth flagship fund, more than doubling the size of its previous flagship fund.[15][16] In July 2022, Insight Partners established the Enterprise Technology Exchange (ETX), an advisory group responsible for helping emerging IT companies navigate uncertain markets.[17]
