About This Fund
Veritas Capital Fund VIII is the eighth flagship buyout fund raised by Veritas Capital, a New York-based private equity firm dedicated to investing in companies that provide critical products, services, and software to government and commercial customers in mission-critical sectors including aerospace and defense, healthcare information technology, education technology, and government services. Launched in 2021 and closed in October 2022 at $10.65 billion — substantially oversubscribed against its initial $8.5 billion hard cap — Fund VIII stands as one of the largest government-and-technology-focused private equity vehicles ever raised, reflecting sustained institutional demand for Veritas's distinctive strategy at the intersection of defense technology, federal procurement, and enterprise software.
Fund VIII pursues large-cap control buyouts of companies whose products, software platforms, and advisory services are embedded in the operational workflows of U.S. federal agencies, defense contractors, civilian government clients, and regulated commercial industries. Veritas identifies businesses with durable revenue streams anchored by long-term public-sector contracts, proprietary data assets, and high mission-criticality, then applies deep domain expertise in government procurement, regulatory environments, and digital modernization to accelerate growth through strategic add-on acquisitions and organic value creation initiatives. The fund's investment universe spans national security and intelligence technology, defense electronics, healthcare IT serving federal agencies, education technology for government-funded programs, and business process outsourcing to civilian government clients.
Veritas Capital's track record spans more than two decades of focused government technology investing. The firm's prior flagship, Fund VII, closed at $6.4 billion in 2019, and Fund IX subsequently closed at $14.4 billion at hard cap in September 2025 — reflecting compounded fundraise growth of 68% between VII and VIII, and 35% between VIII and IX. As of closing, Veritas managed more than $45 billion in aggregate assets. Fund VIII continues to deploy capital into defense modernization, healthcare digitization, and national security technology at a time when federal demand for advanced digital capabilities remains at historically elevated levels.
