In April each year we host our Annual General Meeting, welcoming investors from around the world to New York City where we share updates on Vista, our funds, and enterprise software. This year, we were thrilled to welcome Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, for a fireside chat with our Founder, Chairman and CEO Robert F. Smith. The two discussed generative AI and its impact, including how we can ensure responsible deployment of the technology, the roadmap for OpenAI, and what a future shaped by Generative AI can – and should – look like. We also shared more about our work innovating with our private equity and credit portfolios, firm updates, and our focus on harnessing the power of Generative AI across our ecosystem. Throughout the event, Vista speakers were joined by portfolio CEOs to hear directly from the people whose partnership remains essential to our continued success. Spending time with our limited partners and prospects is always an honor. We are thankful for the opportunity to serve them and their stakeholders as we invest together in the enterprise software companies transforming our world.

Our 2024 summer internship program is in full swing, with a talented group of interns across our Austin, Chicago and New York offices. Our interns get to immerse themselves in the many facets of our business, expanding their knowledge of the enterprise software and alternative investments. At Vista, we believe internships are pivotal in shaping future careers. They not only help foster the development of professional aptitude and strengthen personal character, but also help broaden access to the asset management industry for underrepresented minorities, schools and communities. We’re thankful to our partners, including Frontier Fellows and Girls Who Invest, who help to create equitable access to opportunities and equip future generations with the skills needed to impact the digital economy.

As we commemorate #Juneteenth, Vista reflects on its profound meaning — it’s not just a date, but a symbol for freedom and a reminder of the journey still ahead. Below, our Founder, Chairman and CEO, Robert F. Smith, reflects on the holiday with a message of hope and progress. At Vista, we are committed to the work that remains, ensuring equitable access to opportunities for all. We stand with our corporate signature partners and over 200 nonprofit and community organizations, united in the mission to foster an environment of equal opportunity and equip future generations with the skills they need to move the digital economy forward.
On June 19, 1865, enslaved African Americans in Galveston, Texas were finally informed of their freedom, two years after the Emancipation Proclamation. This day, which we celebrate as #Juneteenth — or Freedom Day — symbolizes the end of one horrific chapter in American history and the beginning of another ongoing journey toward equality and justice for all Americans. This Juneteenth, I’m humbled by the sacrifices made by countless individuals who fought for the rights and liberties we now enjoy. I’m also inspired by the resilience and contributions of Black Americans to our country in the decades since and feel a renewed commitment to build on this rich history. Barriers to true equality, like the growing wealth gap, a widening digital divide and persistent lack of equal access to broadband, and inequities in #healthcare continue to plague our country, particularly for Black Americans. We all must address these issues, together. I’m grateful for our partners at Student Freedom Initiative (SFI), Southern Communities Initiative (SCI), Fund II Foundation, internXL and the EDISON Alliance — as well as corporate partners like Cisco — who are channeling funding and resources to close these gaps and widen the paths to prosperity for all people. The work of these organizations — alongside many others — gives me great hope for a more equitable and unified nation. In 2021, Juneteenth was recognized as a federal holiday. I’m proud to honor and celebrate this day in history, and by doing so, we commit to both learning from the injustices of our past and building a more just future. As Ida B. Wells once said, “The way to right wrongs is to turn the light of truth upon them.” We cannot heal and improve as a society without recognizing what ails us — without shining the light of truth on the sins of our past and the challenges of our present. I encourage each of you to use tomorrow to reflect on how we can contribute to creating communities that call out injustice and uphold the dignity and rights of every individual.
