In January 2019, Quickbase received a majority investment from Vista Equity Partners (Vista), a leading global investment firm. The partnership with Vista has enabled Quickbase to accelerate product development, scale its customer success capabilities, and focus on long-term, sustainable growth.
From the outset, Vista has been aligned with Quickbase’s mission, vision, and values. At the time of the investment, Vista’s Founder, Chairman and CEO Robert F. Smith said, “At its core, software is a tool that turns good ideas into scalable and actionable solutions. By empowering every employee, no matter his or her technical background, to build applications that suit their business needs, Quickbase’s platform helps build a stronger workforce and smarter workplaces.”
Founded in 2000, Vista exclusively invests in enterprise software, data and technology-enabled businesses. Vista’s differentiated and disciplined approach to software investing prioritizes value creation through operational transformation in close partnership with founders and executive teams.
Vista’s global ecosystem of enterprise software businesses benefit from portfolio-wide knowledge sharing events, advantaged partnerships with technology providers, a deep bench of executive talent and best practices honed through decades of experience and hundreds of transactions. Through this holistic approach to investing and value creation, Vista strives to build better businesses and drive consistent outcomes for its stakeholders.
Vista believes the transformative power of technology is the key to an even better future – a smarter economy, a healthier planet, diverse and inclusive communities and a broader path to prosperity. Through partnerships with organizations like Girls Who Invest and KIPP, Vista works to create onramps to opportunity, offering internships to candidates traditionally underrepresented in the asset management industry.
