Principal @ True Wind is a San Francisco based private equity firm focused on investing in high quality technology companies with strong management teams and attractive growth prospects. Our founders have invested over $10 billion of equity in public and private transactions and have more than 50 combined years of experience building successful companies in a variety of industries, geographies, economic cycles, and transaction types. We target investments in which we can partner directly with management teams and support their pursuit of market leadership with our cross-sector operational expertise, deep network, and strategic insight. This cross-sector investment history provides a diverse set of experiences and skills, which we leverage and focus within a disciplined technology practice.

Thoma Bravo targets control investments in companies with strong business franchises led by experienced executives who aspire to achieve industry leadership. We work in close partnership with a company’s management team to implement operating best practices and use our consolidation expertise to rapidly improve earnings and increase equity value.
