    We are proud to be named once again to Inc. Magazine's list of Founder-Friendly Firms for 2024. This is the fifth consecutive year Vista has been honored in the private equity category and the second time Vista Credit Partners has received this recognition as a founder-friendly lender. Our systematic approach to value creation is anchored in our ability to work closely with founders and leadership teams to strengthen core operating principles to drive continued product innovation and profitable growth. In fact, within Vista’s differentiated private equity strategies, over 70% of our investments since 2019 have been founder-influenced, and 90% of these founders are still involved in the company in some capacity. Together, we are not just envisioning the future; we are creating it. Learn more: https://bwnews.pr/4fhN9Ux #WeAreVista

    ICYMI: Watch Ashley MacNeill, Vista’s Head of Equity Capital Markets, on CNBC’s Closing Bell as she delves into the current state of the IPO market. She highlights the essential factors for a thriving IPO asset class: a stable macro environment, eager investors and companies that report consistently and clearly. Despite a robust economy and stock market, the IPO market has been sluggish, particularly in the tech sector. MacNeill explains that many companies are staying private longer due to the rise of private credit as an alternative funding source. However, she remains optimistic, believing that public markets will regain their appeal with high valuations and increasing investor interest. Watch the full clip here: https://cnb.cx/4hhwJg4
