Investment thesis

At the time of our investment in April 2019, we viewed robotic process automation as one of the fastest growing segments of the software market. We recognized UiPath as a leader in the category and believed in their ability to maintain tremendous adoption and growth to capture a meaningful portion of the multi-billion-dollar segment.
