Serent Capital's GovTech Sector Update

While we undoubtedly face uncertain economic times, at Serent we maintain a strong belief that the government technology sector will be one of the few resilient sectors of the economy. Citizens are dependent on their state and local governments more than ever for essential services, and governments need to swiftly adapt to providing those services while in crisis-response mode. Organizational IT budgets are yet to be determined, but we believe this crisis is an opportunity for state and local agencies to re-evaluate their IT priorities and shift their technology portfolio away from costly system integrations and legacy on-premise solutions to lower-cost, nimble and adaptable cloud-based technologies.

Serent Capital's Healthcare Sector Update

Since its formation in 2008, Serent Capital has been actively partnering and investing in market-leading healthcare companies.

In the last three years, Serent's dedicated Healthcare Team has been particularly active, investing in four platforms.

Serent remains committed to its multi-year investment thesis in the education sector, partnering with entrepreneurs who are innovating the delivery of education to drive better student and institutional outcomes. Education investments in fast-growing SaaS and tech-enabled service companies make up nearly 20% of Serent's portfolio.
