Our notes

Re-read 18 Oct 2026. Estonian e-Business Register (free view): shareholders Pipedrive Inc (US5016585) 90.00% (EUR 7,020, since 16 Aug 2023) and Pipedrive OÜ itself 10.00%. Listed beneficial owner is a senior managing official (management board member), which implies no natural person above 25%. Pipedrive release of 12 Nov 2020 (https://www.pipedrive.com/en/newsroom/sales-crm-pipedrive-announces-majority-investment-from-vista-equity-partners) says it 'signed an agreement to receive a majority investment from Vista Equity Partners'; Bessemer, Insight, Atomico, DTCP and Rembrandt stayed as minority investors. Still current: Vista's portfolio page (https://www.vistaequitypartners.com/companies/pipedrive/) shows 'Investment 2020, Status Current', and Pipedrive's about page says 'Backed by global investment firm Vista Equity Partners'. No percentage after 2020 is documented. Vista's HQ is not in these documents; owner_country US is the register-shown parent Pipedrive Inc. Web-search budget ran out before a news check for a 2025–26 Vista exit; the two first-party pages above are current.
