Late-stage software companies that are not yet issuers to the public markets have historically been underserved by traditional financing alternatives, including venture debt. Through our FounderDirect channel, Vista Credit Partners offers flexible capital solutions direct to founders seeking less dilutive terms. Vista Credit Partners provides the benefits of an experienced partner who can move with speed and certainty, while also providing support through connectivity to the broader Vista ecosystem. Our FounderDirect channel seeks to invest in mature enterprise software, data and technology-enabled businesses that have built high-quality solutions with strong customer retention.
