Investors Swarm Like Bees to Honey
Thoma Bravo’s appeal resonated globally. Backers included sovereign wealth funds, public pension giants, multinational insurers, university endowments, fund-of-funds, foundations, and deep-pocketed family offices — a veritable who’s who of institutional clout.
“This is more than capital — it’s trust,” said Orlando Bravo, the firm’s founder and managing partner. “These commitments are built on years of performance and partnership. Our investors believe in our strategy and our ability to execute.”
A Software Superpower
With approximately $184 billion in assets under management as of March 31, Thoma Bravo isn’t just playing in the software space — it’s rewriting the rules. Over its lifespan, the firm has backed over 535 software companies and currently holds more than 75, generating a jaw-dropping $30 billion in annual revenue.
Its dual activity — buying and selling — is a whirlwind of momentum. The past year alone saw over $35 billion in enterprise value across investments and realizations, solidifying its position as a kingmaker in the tech M&A sphere.
