The investment firm will reap about $2.7 billion from the deal, said the person, who asked not to be identified discussing private information. The blended multiple on invested capital, known as MOIC, of 15.5 is based on Insight’s roughly 8% stake in Wiz, which is held by multiple funds including Insight Partners Public Equities, its vehicle that has flexibility to bet on public companies.
A representative for Insight declined to comment.
Insight is one of several investors slated to lock in big gains from the sale of Wiz. Index Ventures had a stake worth about 13% and Sequoia had a stake of about 10%, Bloomberg previously reported. Sequoia Capital is set to receive about $3 billion from the deal.
Alphabet agreed to buy Wiz for $32 billion. Wiz will join the Google Cloud business once the deal closes, which is likely to happen next year pending regulatory approval.
