The first half of 2025 has been marked by strong momentum at FTV, despite a tenuous macroeconomic climate. We’ve been highly productive across several fronts, including completing a successful fundraise, generating notable realizations, deploying capital into high-quality growth businesses and engaging with our stakeholders through strategic collaboration. Below are some of those highlights.
We’re also reminded that periods of volatility often unlock creativity and opportunity – a dynamic we’ve witnessed time and time again throughout our 27-year existence. Through discipline and focus we’ve continued to successfully navigate market cycles, always emerging stronger. Looking ahead, we’re certain that technological innovation will only accelerate across industries, driving the global economy forward and propelling exciting growth equity opportunities.
We’re eager to seize what’s ahead, and we remain as committed as ever to partnering with ambitious entrepreneurs globally and driving exceptional outcomes.
A video message from our managing partner, Brad Bernstein, underscoring FTV’s differentiated investing approach.
“Our culture of integrity, hard work, commitment, collaboration – that’s the foundation everything is built on. And all of that allows us to achieve our ultimate goal, which is to power growth together.”
Record Fundraise
At the beginning of the year, we announced our latest growth equity fundraise – spanning two complementary funds (including a new vehicle dedicated to smaller investments) – enabling us to deepen and expand our approach to supporting innovators.
Liquidity
In a market where exit opportunities remain constrained, we delivered meaningful portfolio liquidity.
Investments
We invested in an exciting cohort of high-growth companies (and signed several additional investments to be announced soon), aligned with our deep domain expertise across financial technology and services, enterprise technology and services, vertical software, and healthcare technology and services.
Industry Recognition
We’re honored to be recognized for our continued growth equity leadership and results.
Hallmark Events
In between countless interactions with our investors, Global Partner Network® executives and portfolio leaders throughout the first half, we also gathered as a community via events designed to exchange information, cultivate connections and drive portfolio growth.
Spring Strategic Advisory Board and Fund Governance Committee Meeting convened FTV’s strategic advisors and FGC limited partners for a closed-door session focused on exchanging perspectives across the innovation landscape.
Spring Dinner in New York City welcomed nearly 90 strategic advisors, FGC limited partners and executives in our Global Partner Network for this annual tradition.
FTV’s Investor Update Webinar, hosted in April, offered limited partners a comprehensive annual update, highlighting portfolio performance and outlining exit expectations.
We look forward to more productivity and collaboration in the second half of 2025.
