PeakSpan Capital is a growth equity firm exclusively focused on Applied AI B2B software companies scaling from $3M to $50M+ in ARR — the stage where early traction meets moving mountains. The firm targets capital-efficient scale-ups with clear product-market fit, 75%+ year-over-year growth, and less than $20M previously raised, across twelve defined sectors including Human Capital Management, Customer Experience Management, Cybersecurity & Digital Infrastructure, Financial Technology, Education Technology, Supply Chain Management, and Commerce Technology. PeakSpan's 'portfolio of one' philosophy means every partnership receives the same hands-on, co-founder-like commitment: protecting downside through sensible scaling, accelerating growth via a 500+ member expert community and proprietary technology platforms (ADA, ANNA, DEWEY), and creating optionality by building toward exceptional exits from day one. With $2.6B in AUM across three funds and an industry-leading ~2% scale-up failure rate, PeakSpan aims to be the partner of choice for pragmatic, mission-driven entrepreneurs building category-defining software.
Notable quotes
“It's a big deal to bring an investment partner into your business because now you're collaborating with someone on your big decisions. Don't bring someone into your business with eight figures of capital at risk when you just met the partner two weeks before term sheets are due. That's not a smart strategy for founders.”
“Focusing on sustainable growth and strategic partnerships delivers superior outcomes. Our steadfast commitment to disciplined scaling has demonstrated that a ~2% scale-up failure rate is achievable — and that is the standard we hold ourselves to.”
“Abre sits squarely in a thesis we've been developing for years and highlights the importance (and opportunity) behind data intelligence. Districts across the nation are struggling to operationalize student data and effectively provide students with academic, emotional, and community support. We could not be more thrilled to partner with the Abre team to capitalize on the forward opportunity — democratizing data intelligence, transforming student outcomes, and creating what we believe will be the central hub for the modern U.S. K-12 district.”
