Vector Capital

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

As private investors, the firm spin out non-core businesses from corporations, buy founder-owned companies, and fix balance sheets through recapitalizations.

Its approach is rigorous and deeply analytical, with an emphasis on business fundamentals, such as financial performance, competitive positioning, and product strategy.
