Thrilled to share that we’ve finalized the sale of FTV-backed Enfusion to Clearwater Analytics (NYSE: CWAN), generating a fantastic exit! 👏 FTV first invested in Enfusion in 2016 in as a part of our ongoing thematic focus in financial services. Our thesis was that alternative and traditional investment firms would increasingly shift away from legacy on-premises systems to native cloud-based front-to-back office integrated systems, and that Enfusion had developed a highly differentiated platform that would set the new standard for asset management software. Since our original investment, Enfusion has rapidly scaled growing customers more than 4x, doubling ACV, growing ARR more than 8x and adding five offices to expand geographic coverage. Today, the company partners with more than 850 investment managers from nine global offices spanning four continents. With this acquisition Clearwater will accelerate its vision of building the first cloud-native front-to-back platform for the entire investment management industry. The synergies in combining these two companies are significant, including: + Front-to-back platform leadership + Enhanced right to win in asset management + Expanded capabilities for clients + Increased TAM and hedge fund leadership + Global growth opportunities We’re proud to add Enfusion to our lineage of investing in asset, wealth management and capital markets technology businesses with numerous successful outcomes, including Centaur, Docupace, InvestCloud, Strata Fund Solutions and True Potential. Thank you, Enfusion and its leadership team, for choosing FTV as a growth partner. We look forward to celebrating many more milestones as a part of Clearwater! 🎉 📰 https://lnkd.in/gE_cBjQ8 #wealthmanagement #assetmanagement #ClearwaterEnfusion #PoweringGrowthTogether   CC: Brad Bernstein, Robert Anderson, Brent Fierro, Max Weber, Alexis L.

Over the last few years, we've been proud to expand our partnership with BUILD, a national nonprofit that uses entrepreneurship to ignite the potential of youth in under-resourced communities. Last week, we had the opportunity to host a group of Bay Area BUILD students for a job shadow event in our office. It was a dynamic and fun day of learning, including a primer on growth equity, an engaging career panel, interactive interview prep workshops and office hours with many members of our team. The chance to spend time with these young people and witness their curiosity, engagement and ambition was incredibly energizing. It’s a privilege to support BUILD’s mission and we look forwarding to continuing our partnership! 🙌 #BUILD #BUILDorg #PoweringGrowthTogether #Entrepreneurship CC: Shefali Bhasin Billon

FTV-backed ParkHub, the leading provider of event parking technology, is now JustPark, following the merger of these two parking leaders last year!   This rebrand reflects a collective vision to simplify the entire parking experience, helping drivers find, book and pay for parking while providing businesses with a data-driven platform to manage and optimize spaces.   At FTV, we’ve seen again and again how digital payments paired with integrated vertical software can revolutionize legacy industries. The global parking market is no exception. ParkHub’s ability to digitize operations and deliver real-time insights aligns with the kinds of vertical software businesses we’ve consistently backed at FTV and why we invested a year ago.   Looking forward to JustPark’s continued growth as a unified, global brand. 🙌 📰 Read more about the rebrand: https://lnkd.in/ghub4G8N   🔗Visit the link in comments to read more about why we invested last year, underscoring our domain expertise in vertical software and embedded finance. #JustPark #verticalsoftware #embeddedfinance CC: Kyle Griswold, Adam Hallquist, Brandon Spierto, Peter Warren, Ethan L., Jeff Shanahan, JustPark U.S. (formerly ParkHub)

Very excited to share that FTV has reinvested in ReliaQuest at a $3.4 billion valuation, also generating a fantastic exit for FTV’s earlier investors. 🙌 FTV was ReliaQuest’s first institutional investor, and over the last decade the company has gone from bootstrapped startup to a global cybersecurity powerhouse, providing an industry-leading, AI-powered security operations platform. In that time, the company has consistently outperformed, growing revenue 30x and scaling to six locations worldwide, 1000+ customers and 1200+ employees. Our new investment, alongside EQT Group and KKR, will accelerate the company’s innovation in AI-driven cybersecurity automation and fuel international expansion. Our enthusiasm to reinvest is driven by ReliaQuest’s: + Vast and growing market opportunity with global security spend exceeding $200 billion as cybersecurity threats mount and increase in complexity. + Differentiated AI-driven platform – GreyMatter – that enables customers to execute on a best-of-breed approach towards cybersecurity. + Exceptional, forward-thinking management team led by Founder and CEO Brian Murphy that continues demonstrate an impressive ability to drive market leadership. + Outstanding performance and track record of growth with ambitious plans to scale even further. Thank you, ReliaQuest, for trusting FTV to be a part of your momentous growth story. We're thrilled to continue collaborating to make security possible! 📰 https://lnkd.in/gpy5fX8N #cybersecurity #growthequity #MakeSecurityPossible #PoweringGrowthTogether CC: Kyle Griswold, Richard Liu, Justin Levine, Rishay Patel, Steve Provencher

As global maritime trade grows and simultaneously geopolitical tensions rise, supply chain pressures mount and regulatory requirements evolve, global shipping has become more complex and vulnerable, spurring increased demand for maritime intelligence. This is exactly why we’re thrilled to have closed our acquisition of global maritime AI leader Windward, establishing the company as a privately held U.S. company. ⚓   Windward leverages maritime analytics and AI-powered predictive intelligence to deliver real-time insights and actionable data across operations, risk and compliance, helping government agencies and leading global enterprises navigate the shifting global trade and security landscape. With FTV’s investment, the company will accelerate product development and global expansion, including strengthening its foothold in the U.S., setting the stage for significant growth in key government and commercial sectors.    We identified Windward years ago as part of our thematic focus on governance, risk and compliance software and have spent the last eight years getting to know Ami Daniel, Matan Peled and the Windward management team. We couldn't be more excited about our partnership – welcome to the FTV portfolio! 🥳 📰 Read the full press release here: https://lnkd.in/ge7AyQuA #maritimeAI #supplychain #PoweringGrowthTogether cc: Brad Bernstein, Jerome Hershey, Giovanni Bacarella, Brian Papsin, Zach Tan
