Jeff Horing founded Insight Partners in the mid-1990s after leaving Warburg Pincus; he built the firm into a $12B+ single-fund platform across venture, growth, and buyout stages, pioneering software-focused sourcing at scale and a 'one fund' strategy. He remains deeply involved in deal sourcing, portfolio management, and firm culture.
SentinelOne (referred to as Cena) was backed at $4-5M ARR and grew into a public company; exemplifies Insight's early-stage sourcing and scaling within one-fund strategy.
Wiz checked all five perfect investment criteria: big ROI, big ASP, fast time-to-value, great CEO and tech team; net new bookings doubled annually for six years creating massive compounding growth.
Monday was not the most obvious funded company but had the right metrics; Insight backed at ~$5M ARR and it grew into a large TAM supporting a major exit.
