Beedie Buys Half of Vistara Growth, Ups Venture Fund Investment
Beedie Capital will back one-quarter of the new fund, which targets US$500 million and will finance B2B software companies with hybrid debt-equity deals.
- On Wednesday, real estate billionaire Ryan Beedie announced his firm, Beedie Capital, acquired a 50% stake in tech investment firm Vistara Growth, anchoring a new $500 million evergreen fund launching this fall.
- The transaction builds on a 35-year friendship between Beedie and Vistara founder Randy Garg, who met at the University of British Columbia; Beedie Capital has served as a key anchor investor in Vistara's five previous funds since 2015.
- Beedie committed up to $125 million to the new Vistara Growth Structured Opportunities Fund, which operates as an evergreen vehicle with no end date, targeting mid-to-later-stage technology companies.
- By acquiring the stake, Beedie Capital will split Vistara's 20% share of investment gains and annual management fees, though the two companies will continue operating as distinct entities.
- Garg cited current market dislocation regarding AI and tech financing as an ideal time to launch the fund, while Beedie expressed confidence the partnership positions Vistara for its next stage of evolution.
