Francisco Partners works with management teams to provide strategic insight based on our extensive transactional experience, our specific understanding of technology and our broad and ongoing contacts with leading participants across every key technology segment. As active investors, we remain engaged with our portfolio companies as business needs and challenges evolve over time.

Our interests are aligned with the objectives of long-term value appreciation, and we typically work efficiently with management teams to accomplish rational, long-term business goals, without the impact of often conflicting short-term objectives, such as Wall Street earnings expectations or public media pressure.

We are professional corporate directors, and our deep experience and broad participation on public and private corporate boards allows us to add value as active directors, as well as ensure substantial integrity and incentive alignment in corporate governance.
