Take a peek behind the scenes of our US$150M Initial Closing by exploring the "Behind the Fundraise with Vistara Growth" article in collaboration with the Canadian Venture Capital & Private Equity Association (CVCA). In the article we dive into our primary objectives and strategies for Fund V, the current fundraising environment, and what we see for the future growth and evolution of Vistara.

"Since inception in 2015, Vistara has raised over US$500 million, primarily from non-institutional sources such as family offices, entrepreneurs, and private foundations, predominantly based in British Columbia. With the ongoing growth of its platform, Vistara is now seeking to broaden its investor base by targeting pension funds and other institutional investors, and geographically by launching vehicles for both US and international investors. Vistara is targeting completion of its fundraise during the first half of 2024."

Vistara Growth is excited to announce the US$150M initial closing of Vistara Technology Growth Fund V. For ambitious technology companies, this means greater access to our flexible and ultimately less dilutive forms of growth capital. For our investors, we seek to continue delivering on our unique blend of Security + Yield + Upside, providing the capital preservation and regular income of a private credit fund with the added benefit of potential gains through exposure to high-growth technology businesses. A big thank you to our loyal supporters as we embark on the next phase of growth at Vistara.

Please join us in welcoming Akshit Puri, CPA,CGA to the Vistara team. Akshit joins us as Senior Accountant in our Vancouver office and was most recently at Trez Capital where he played a key role working on complex accounting projects while helping streamline fund processes.
