New York, NY — August 2025 — Vertica Capital Partners, a growth equity firm focused exclusively on mission-critical software and tech-enabled services, today announced the final close of its second fund at $380 million in total commitments. The fund was raised in under a month, significantly exceeded its target, and nearly doubled the firm’s inaugural $205 million fund closed in March 2020.
The rapid close brings Vertica’s total capital under management to over $1 billion and reflects strong conviction from the firm’s returning institutional investors, including endowments, foundations, pension funds, and family offices.
Continued Focus on Vertical Software
Fund II will continue Vertica’s strategy of making concentrated investments — up to $100 million of equity per transaction — in vertical software companies that serve as the system of record for their customers. The firm targets businesses in fragmented end markets where software is deeply embedded in daily workflows, creating high switching costs and durable recurring revenue streams.
Vertica’s investment approach combines flexible capital solutions — including primary growth capital, shareholder liquidity, and management buyouts — with hands-on operational support across go-to-market strategy, talent acquisition, product development, and strategic M&A.
A Track Record of Building Category Leaders
Since its founding, Vertica has made over 25 software investments spanning public safety, property management, campground management, healthcare, tours and activities, identity governance, and more. Across its portfolio, the firm has built significant lead generation engines, recruited key talent at scale, driven AI-enabled product development, and executed multiple successful add-on acquisitions.
Notable portfolio outcomes include ARMS, a bootstrapped law enforcement software company that has significantly grown revenue and completed multiple acquisitions since Vertica’s investment, and DSN Software, a practice management and EHR platform serving hundreds of specialty medical practices that has accelerated ARR growth and substantially increased new lead generation since partnering with Vertica.
“This fund close is a testament to the strength of our team, our portfolio companies, and the operational model we’ve built. We’re excited to continue partnering with exceptional founders and management teams building the next generation of category-defining vertical software businesses.” — Vitaly Vorobeychik, Managing Director and Co-Founder
