SAN MATEO, Calif., May 21, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Invictus Growth Partners (“Invictus”), a leading private equity firm focused on growth buyouts of lower middle-market enterprise software businesses in the cloud software, cybersecurity, and fintech sectors, announced the final closing of Invictus Growth Fund II, L.P. (“Fund II”), with total capital commitments of $574 million in its core fund and related co-investment funds. Fund II was oversubscribed at $488 million in fund commitments, surpassing both its target of $350 million and the original hard cap of $450 million.

“We are honored and grateful for the support from our returning and new investors, which include pension plans, endowments, foundations, insurance companies, healthcare institutions, and family offices,” said John DeLoche, Invictus Co-founder and Managing Partner. “The early support and leadership from our existing investors helped to drive investor demand and facilitate a successful fundraise despite a challenging environment. “We will continue our strategy of bringing a partnership approach and deep operating expertise and resources to our portfolio companies to help them scale,” said William Nettles, Invictus Co-founder and Managing Partner. “This includes our world class team’s stewardship, machine learning-powered GTM operational enhancements through our DIANE platform, and the support of a dedicated portfolio company success team, the Invictus Guild.”

Invictus’ Fund II received strong support from existing investors, and new investors made up more than two thirds of total committed capital, broadening the diversification of the firm’s world class institutional limited partner base.

Invictus has completed twelve platform investments and add-on acquisitions in its focus areas of enterprise cloud software, cybersecurity, and fintech. The firm targets companies with at least $10 million of annual recurring revenue that have been bootstrapped or have annual recurring revenue greater than equity capital raised. Invictus targets companies with strong product market fit that are profitable or nearly profitable at the time of investment.

Ten of the twelve completed investments were sourced with DIANE, Invictus’ proprietary machine learning-powered outbound sales engine for B2B use cases. DIANE is an acronym for Deal Intelligence Assessment Neural Engine, and was built in-house at Invictus starting in 2019. Invictus is now on its third generation of machine learning for operational enhancements powered by DIANE. The first generation focused on in-house investment sourcing. The second and third generations focus on GTM operational enhancements which are exclusively available to Invictus portfolio companies. Portfolio companies have seen a 90% increase in direct sales efficiency leveraging the platform, which also provides access to thousands of potential new enterprise customers.

Portfolio companies also benefit from access to the Invictus Guild, a team of operating executives who have experience working at some of the most successful technology companies. Invictus Guild Members operate across ten disciplines that are crucial for scaling technology companies, including sales, marketing, customer success, business development, corporate development, data science, human resources, product development, finance, and CEO coaches. They serve as mentors, operational advisors, and sources of best practices and talent for Invictus portfolio companies. They also invest personally in every portfolio company.

Zaid Abdul-Aleem, Invictus Partner and Head of Partner and Capital Solutions, led the Fund II fundraise while Cooley served as Legal Advisor.

Booking.com’s Latest Travel and Sustainability Research Reveals Australian Generational Paradox

Published

1 hour ago

May 3, 2026

SYDNEY, May 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Today Booking.com released its 11th annual research report into consumer attitudes and understanding of the social and environmental impact of travel. With insights from 32,500 travellers across 35 markets globally, including 1,000 from Australia, this year’s research highlights a generational paradox.

While 83% of Australian travellers say that more sustainable travel is important to them, older generations demonstrate greater commitment through concrete actions, despite younger generations often expressing stronger sustainability intentions.

Older generations demonstrate greater commitment through concrete sustainable actions, with almost two–thirds of Boomers across Asia Pacific (63%) saying they will shop more at local, independent stores on their trips, three–quarters (75%) planning to reduce general waste, and 63% intending to reduce energy consumption, higher than Gen X, Millennials and Gen Z.However, younger travellers are leading in cultural and conservation management; more than a quarter of Gen Z (27%) and Millennials (26%) participated in a tour or activity that contributed to the health or conservation of the local ecosystem or wildlife.Extreme weather is actively reshaping travel choices. Nearly three-quarters of Australian travellers said they consider extreme weather risk when choosing both destination (72%), and timing (75%), and 27% reported having cancelled or changed trip plans in the past twelve months due to extreme weather or natural disaster.Australian travellers are shifting when and where they travel, seeking reliable climates and comfort. 43% say they plan to avoid overcrowded tourist destinations, 42% plan to travel outside of peak season, and 26% will seek out destinations with cooler temperatures.In 2025, travellers booked more than 100 million room nights on Booking.com at accommodation partners with a third-party sustainability certification, including at 363 third-party certified Australian properties.
