Collectively, Insight's employees remain the largest investor in the fundraise, highlighting the firm's commitment to the software ecosystem and confidence in its global investment strategy. The closing of this new fundraise brings Insight Partners' regulatory assets under management to over $90B.

Fund XII is one of the largest global fundraises to date dedicated to investing in high-growth technology, software, and Internet startup and ScaleUp companies that are driving transformative change in their industries. Insight's flagship funds typically invest between $5 million and $500 million+ in a company, with the ability to invest from the earliest institutional check to IPO. With investments in companies from all corners of the globe, Insight has always maintained a belief that great software companies can originate from anywhere, and, with the right strategic partner, expand rapidly into new markets. In addition to capital, Insight delivers unparalleled operational resources through Insight Onsite.

"Throughout Insight's commitment to the software sector over the last 25 years, we have seen enthusiasm of the markets come and go. However, today's Fund XII announcement not only drives home Insight's legacy as a leader, but also as a committed partner to the software industry's best businesses and entrepreneurs. Since day one, Insight has focused on helping companies scale with support at pivotal moments in their growth journeys," said Jeff Horing, Insight Partners' Co-Founder and Managing Director. "Fund XII marks a significant milestone for the firm, but more importantly, ensures we have the capital to help the world's best software companies scale up and take off."

"Fund XII is a vote of confidence from the industry and our long-term and new investors, and we are grateful for their support. We're proud that Insight Partners' proven track record for investing in the software sector puts us amongst the leaders in supporting and scaling innovative companies," said Deven Parekh, Managing Director.
