History

Insight Partners was founded in 1995 by Jeff Horing and Jerry Murdock. [8] [9] [10] As of April 2025, the firm has approximately $90 billion in assets under management. [11]

In April 2021, Insight Partners raised $1.56 billion for the Insight Partners Opportunities Fund I LP, a separate fund from its primary growth-investment vehicles. [12] Also in 2021, Insight Partners put $15 million of its capital into a new fund, the Vision Capital 2020 LP Fund, which supports minority-led firms raising early-stage funds. [13] In February 2022, the company announced it had raised $20 billion for its twelfth flagship fund, more than doubling the size of its previous flagship fund. [14] [15] In July 2022, Insight Partners established the Enterprise Technology Exchange (ETX), an advisory group responsible for helping emerging IT companies navigate uncertain markets. [16]

In January 2025, Insight announced that it raised $12.5 billion across its thirteenth flagship fund and a separate structured‑equity vehicle. [17] Insight stated that is has invested in over 875 companies as of June 30, 2025. [18]

Operations

Media coverage has described Insight’s sourcing approach as heavily outbound, supported by an analyst program that identifies software companies, and by an internal “Onsite” team that provides portfolio support. [11] [16] [19]
