We are excited to announce the successful closing of our Fund V at $825 million of investor commitments. The Fund was significantly oversubscribed, reaching its increased hard cap, substantially above the original hard cap of $750 million and the target of $600 million, and a more than 50% increase over the capital raised for our Fund IV. Fund V enables Enlightenment Capital to continue executing our proven strategy of partnering with exceptional management teams and businesses supporting critical government and defense missions. “The successful closing of our fifth fund is a testament to our team and portfolio partners, who share a commitment to investing in dynamic businesses innovating in support of complex customer and mission requirements,” said Devin Talbott, Founder and Managing Partner of Enlightenment Capital. “We appreciate the support of our longstanding investors and new limited partners as we endeavor to build exceptional teams and cultivate market leading companies that deliver cutting-edge technology solutions to serve their government clients, enhance national security, and strengthen citizen services.”
