Insight & Approach
Vector believes that many of today’s leading cloud software companies are being built outside of Silicon Valley. Accordingly, in addition to our North American coverage efforts, significant sourcing efforts are made at Vector to discover unique opportunities in SaaS companies founded and headquartered in Europe and Israel. Vector seeks to identify market-leading software products in these geographies, and support operational transformations that build advanced, yet efficient, go-to-market strategies to accelerate growth through capturing increased market share in the U.S., the largest market for enterprise software in the world. Vector identified CloudSense as a rapidly growing and profitable SaaS leader in the multi-channel commerce enablement software segment, and built a strong, collaborative relationship with the co-founders and management team. In November 2017, Vector announced a $77 million investment, the Company’s first significant U.S.-based institutional investment in its history. Vector’s investment and expertise will support the Company’s growth plans in the North American markets and enable continued investment in product innovation. Vector’s investment also supported a partial recapitalization.
