A buyer that writes data into its own description is easier to approach than one that bought a data company once. These are the ones that do.
Private equity and growth equity
STG describes itself as a private equity firm focused on software, data and analytics market leaders in the mid-market. Hg focuses on businesses handling deep proprietary data. Abry invests in communications, media, information and business services.

Databricks Ventures invests in companies that share its view of the future for data, analytics and AI; Snowflake Ventures invests to grow its AI Data Cloud ecosystem; MongoDB Ventures backs founders building for software engineers and data practitioners.
Funds that back data founders
