Thoma Bravo is a finance company focusing on private equity investments, software, and technology industries. With a 40-year history, it has over $30 billion in investor commitments and pioneered the buy-and-build investment strategy. This approach was first applied to software and technology sectors nearly two decades ago, leading to the acquisition of more than 200 companies representing over $50 billion of value. The firm's investment philosophy centers on working collaboratively with existing management teams to achieve better operating results through partnership-driven methods and well-defined management principles, operating metrics, and business processes.
Based in Chicago, IL, Thoma Bravo is a relatively small operation with 110 employees and an annual revenue of $1,000,000,000. Despite its size, the company supports its portfolio by investing in growth initiatives and strategic acquisitions that drive long-term value.
