W Capital, Georgian Partners buy out Vision Critical's early investors

U.S. private equity firm W Capital Partners and Canadian growth equity firm Georgian Partners have purchased shares from early investors in Vision Critical, a customer intelligence software platform. No financial terms were released for the secondary deal; however, the Globe and Mail reported $76 million of stock was acquired. The holdings of Dr. Angus Reid, whose 2002 investment facilitated the company's early growth, formed part of the deal. As a result, W Capital Managing Directors Alison Killilea and Blake Heston will join the board, replacing Reid. Georgian led Vancouver-based Vision Critical's last financing (2014), which raised $16 million.
