Francisco Partners in 2026
With all the software PE talks going on, what's FP looking like? My understanding is they're broader tech and not software exlcusively, but curious if anyone knows what's going on.

Based on the most helpful WSO content, Francisco Partners is indeed broader tech-focused rather than exclusively software. They have a strong reputation in the tech private equity space, with a history of investing across various tech verticals, including hardware, software, and tech-enabled services. Their strategy often involves targeting companies with complex operational or strategic challenges, which sets them apart from firms that focus solely on software.
Recent discussions highlight that Francisco Partners maintains strong relationships with investment banks like Jefferies, which have facilitated exits to Francisco Partners from their tech-heavy deal flow. This suggests that FP continues to be an active player in the tech PE space, leveraging its expertise across diverse tech sectors.
If you're considering FP, it's worth noting their broader tech mandate could provide exposure to a wider range of industries and opportunities compared to software-exclusive firms.
