She discusses portfolio make up, the drivers behind software’s growth and how they assist their portfolio companies on operational transformation.
She discusses the urgency and applications resulting from AI’s adoption, the likely trajectory of this investing space, software’s economic resilience and the runway ahead.
Rachel runs Vista's Endeavor Fund, which invests in emerging to lower middle-market enterprise software, data and technology-enabled companies. She has over two decades of experience investing in and scaling growth at market-leading software companies (including Bonterra, Mitratech and MicroEdge).
