These achievements reflect a philosophy we’ve held steadfastly since our founding: achieving the best risk-adjusted outcome is direct result of clarity in mission, deep domain and stage expertise, a commitment to sensible scaling, alignment around the broadest spectrum of strategic exit outcomes, and a platform-centric approach to value creation to support the entrepreneurs and stakeholders we serve. As the AI hype took center stage or the industry broadly shifted from a growth-at-all-costs philosophy to one of capital efficiency, we stood ready — our strategy has continually demonstrated its resilience as we have deliberately engineered where we invest, why, and how in our pursuit of delivering superior risk-adjusted outcomes to our stakeholders.
As this new paradigm takes hold, PeakSpan is well-positioned to help emerging growth-stage entrepreneurs navigate it with clarity and purpose. We’re excited to share the lessons and milestones that defined our 2024 and to continue leading in this evolving landscape as we look ahead to 2025.
PORTFOLIO
UPDATES

Historic Year for Strategic Capital Deployment

In 2024, we are proud to share our total capital deployment* nearly matched total capital commitments from Fund I and Fund II combined. It is the result of the proven durability of our strategy, increased talent density across our organization, maturation of our platform-centric approach, and, most importantly, continually being recognized as THE ‘partner of choice’ by new and existing portfolio partners.

19 Investments - 9 New & 10 Follow-Ons

We are privileged to partner with exceptional entrepreneurial teams who have demonstrated emerging leadership in strategic segments across our BluePrint Market Themes. Importantly, we are entering these partnerships with alignment across an attractive spectrum of potential strategic exit scenarios. Alignment is core to our ethos as it allows each of our portfolio partners to execute to the best view of success for their business, which we firmly believe is foundational to achieving the best risk-adjusted outcomes for our portfolio and LP stakeholders.

In 2024, our portfolio grew stronger, having added nine (9) new portfolio partners committed to sensible scaling and achieving the best risk-adjusted outcome while doubling (or tripling) down in ten (10) existing portfolio partners.

Our Master Classes are highly actionable and provide expert insights from highly experienced executives, operators, and industry practitioners.

Thought Leadership

Thematic specialization is core to our firm's ethos and commitment to delivering the best risk-adjusted outcomes. We collectively bring ~100 years of experience in B2B software investing and, in many cases, a decade (or more) of experience in the specific BluePrint Market Themes or sectors we cover, allowing our theme teams to develop nuanced insights and perspectives on those markets.
