- Largest fundraise in the firm’s history brings total capital raised to more than $75 billion
Francisco Partners (“FP”), a leading global investment firm that specializes in partnering with technology companies, today announced the closing of $21 billion in capital commitments across its Francisco Partners VIII, L.P. flagship fund and Francisco Partners Agility IV, L.P., its middle-market fund. FP exceeded its initial targets of $14.0 billion and $3.5 billion, respectively. This milestone builds on Francisco Partners' longstanding track record of performance, underscored by its distinction as the only firm to rank among the top three performers in each of the past six HEC-Dow Jones Large Buyout Performance Rankings.*
“In our business, long-term success is created through a series of relationships built on years of trust and collaboration,“ said Dipanjan (“DJ”) Deb, Co-Founder and CEO of Francisco Partners. ”We want to thank our investors for their support, our management teams for their dedication and performance, our friends and partners throughout the technology ecosystem, our lenders and banks for their partnership, and the team at FP for their pursuit of excellence.”
FP partnered with institutional investors from around the world, including a diverse group of public and corporate pension funds, insurance companies, sovereign wealth funds, foundations, endowments, private wealth, and family offices. The combined closings mark FP’s largest fundraise in its 27-year history and bring the firm’s total capital raised to more than $75 billion.
“Closing these funds in one of the most selective fundraising environments in recent years reflects limited partners’ confidence in our investment team and the strength and durability of the relationships Francisco Partners has built over more than two decades,” said Andrew Brown, Global Head of Investor Relations at Francisco Partners. “We are grateful for the continued support of our longstanding investors and delighted to welcome several new institutional partners from around the world.”
Since inception, Francisco Partners has invested in more than 500 technology companies. The newly closed funds will continue Francisco Partners’ long history of partnering with founders, management teams and corporate partners to build market-leading technology businesses that power critical industries and digital transformation globally.
The FP investment team is organized around dedicated end-market teams, enabling the firm to develop deep expertise across the technology landscape and identify companies whose products and services deliver meaningful value to customers. The firm believes this sector-focused approach continues to differentiate its investing, particularly during periods of disruption and rapid innovation.
“We believe we are entering a particularly dynamic period for technology investing. The rapid evolution of AI is creating potential risk, but also a real opportunity for companies that can harness its power to build better products, improve productivity and deliver greater value to customers,” added Deb. “AI innovation is happening at an extraordinary pace, but we believe that periods of disruption most benefit companies that are able to apply new technology to efficiently help their customers build better businesses.”
Kirkland & Ellis LLP served as fund counsel.
