Boston, San Francisco, and London, February 13, 2025 - Spectrum Equity has been named to GrowthCap’s Top Growth Equity Firms of 2024.

Spectrum Equity has a uniquely collaborative, hands-on approach to partnership – for more than three decades, founders and leadership teams have benefited from the firm’s collective experience, curated network of experts, and committed support. The firm has invested in 175+ companies across multiple sectors, focusing on category-leading software, data, and consumer internet businesses.

With offices in Boston, San Francisco, and London, the firm is currently investing its tenth fund. Representative investments include AllTrails, Ancestry, Definitive Healthcare, GoodRx, Lucid Software, Teachers Pay Teachers, Origami Risk, and Verafin.

“For over 30 years, we’ve been privileged to support extraordinary companies and the people who make them possible," said Ben Spero, Spectrum Managing Director. "Partnering with founders and leadership teams means more than providing capital — it’s about helping them scale, navigate pivotal moments, and realize their ambitions.”

“The ability for a firm to create or enhance value for a portfolio company, and in parallel its limited partners, is table stakes,” said GrowthCap in their official statement. “At a much deeper level, the ability for a firm to consistently recruit the best talent, grow portfolio companies, and ultimately build a reputation that stands the test of time is much harder to attain.”
