Bain Capital Tech Opportunities aims to help growing technology companies reach their full potential. They focus on companies in large, growing end markets with innovative or disruptive technology where they believe they can support transformational growth.

They invest in fundamental long-term tailwinds as technology penetrates across industries, creating a large and growing number of investment opportunities. The team focuses on five priority sub-verticals: Application Software, Infrastructure & Security, Fintech & Payments, Healthcare IT, Internet & Digital Media.

I invited Darren Abrahamson, Managing Director, Bain Capital Tech Opportunities on to the Tech Talks Daily podcast to find out more. Darren joined Bain Capital in 2005 and is a Managing Director on the Bain Capital Tech Opportunities team, based in Boston. Darren has served as a director at Blue Coat Systems, CentralSquare Technologies, SunGard Availability Services, Vertafore, and Viewpoint Construction Software.

Prior to joining Bain Capital, Darren was a consultant at Monitor Group, where he advised in the technology, pharmaceutical, and energy industries. In our conversation, I learn more about the impacts of the global pandemic on tech investing and the road ahead for tech startups.
