A flurry of deals to end the year

The press release won’t be out for another 30 minutes, but our loyal blog followers deserve to get the early scoop.

Our latest financing, this time for Montreal-based iPerceptions, represents our fifth Growth Capital transaction announcement in the course of the past six weeks.

iPerceptions is a leading digital customer research company specializing in voice of the customer analytics. Many top Fortune 500 companies, such as Dell, InterContinental Hotels, Logitech, and Ford trust iPerceptions to improve the customer experience across their digital platforms. As you may recall, our first of three financings for Vision Critical was in October 2006, so we have a wealth of experience in the customer intelligence sector. iPerceptions is backed by Telesystem and XPND Capital.

We hope to close one more financing before the end of 2014, and if that comes to pass, our team will have closed more than $90 million of commitments over the course of the year.

That surpasses our previous deployment record of $77.5 million ($87 million including syndicated portions), back in 2007. Thanks to all of our new portfolio company entrepreneurial partners and their VC backers.
