Investment Firm

Overview

Vector Capital is a private equity firm specializing in transformational investments in established technology businesses.

It works in partnership with management to navigate companies through transitions in their business. As private investors, the firm spin out non-core businesses from corporations, buy founder-owned companies, and fix balance sheets through recapitalizations. As a public investor, it takes strategic stakes in undervalued companies. It bridges both worlds by taking public companies private, when appropriate.

Vector Capital is highly selective, choosing to invest in only a handful of opportunities each year. Its approach is rigorous and deeply analytical, with an emphasis on business fundamentals, such as financial performance, competitive positioning, and product strategy.

Vector Capital was founded in 1997 and is based in San Francisco. It currently manage over $2 billion in equity capital.
