o Thoma Bravo Raises New $1 Billion Lower Middle Market Software Fund
San Francisco -- Thoma Bravo, the large private equity firm with offices in San Francisco and Chicago, said on Tuesday it has raised more than $1 billion for a new fund focused on lower middle market software investments. The firm said its Thoma Bravo Discover Fund will provide investments in situations requiring less equity capital than the larger opportunities that are the focus of its flagship funds. "Although earlier Thoma Bravo funds made many investments of the size targeted by the Discover Fund, the increasing scale of companies in the consolidating software and technology sectors has resulted in larger funds and larger investment sizes," said partner A.J. Rohde. "The [fund] is intended to allow our firm to continue to partner with great management teams at smaller, growing companies." Discover's first investment -- Infogix -- was announced on Jan.5.
