Their thesis, in full
Vistara Growth provides flexible growth capital solutions (debt, convertible debt, structured equity and combinations) to mid-to-late-stage B2B software and tech-enabled services companies across North America and select international markets. Cheques of $10M to $50M, with a hybrid debt-equity approach positioned between traditional venture debt and growth equity. Fund V closed at US$321M (C$450M) in November 2025, with 8 of a planned 15 to 18 deals completed as at that close and further deals signed since, including Subject and ConnectPay in 2026. In July 2026, Beedie Capital acquired a 50% ownership interest in Vistara and committed US$125M as anchor investor to the US$500M Vistara Growth Structured Opportunities Fund, which has not yet closed. Vistara serves disciplined founders (scaled or scaling past $10M in revenue, profitability not required) seeking growth capital without the dilution of a traditional equity round.
What they bring past the cheque

- How sensitive is your model to a 12-month delay in growth spend?
- What contractual covenants are you comfortable carrying?
Follow-on
Capital can be upsized over the life of the facility as ARR grows, and Vistara often participates in subsequent equity rounds with hybrid tranches.
