PE/VC investors

Private Equity (PE) and Venture Capital (VC) investors are the catalysts of innovation and growth in the business world. PE firms primarily target established companies, seeking to optimize operations and unlock value through strategic investments and management expertise. They focus on long-term growth and profitability, often preparing businesses for a future sale or IPO. VC investors, by contrast, are the adventurers of finance, injecting capital into high-potential startups and early-stage companies. They embrace risk for the possibility of outsized returns, often becoming invaluable advisors. Both investor types not only bring capital but also strategic guidance, industry connections, and market insights, propelling their portfolio companies towards success.

Workday Ventures is the strategic capital arm of Workday, Inc., focused on accelerating the growth of emerging enterprise software companies that are valuable to Workday customers and complementary to Workday products. Workday was founded on a disruptive idea: to put people at the center of enterprise software. Now, more than a decade later, we still deliver on that idea every day. Thousands of organizations, from midsize companies to Fortune 50 enterprises, trust Workday as their partner. This year, Workday achieved an industry-leading 97 percent customer satisfaction rating. Workday Ventures stems from the same roots, making us a strong partner to support you on your journey. When we launched our Workday Ventures fund in early 2018, we decided to approach things a little differently. Rather than just being a source of strategic capital, we set out to be an active partner, helping accelerate the growth of early stage companies that provide solutions complementary to Workday offerings and that are attractive to our customers. Our intention was also rooted in Workday core values, which we feel are foundational to our success. In addition to a focus on innovation and customer commitment, we also function with integrity. We want to be known for making good on our promises and doing things the right way by helping our portfolio companies understand the enterprise technology space, connecting them with customers, and offering technical integrations that help their business grow.
