The Touring Capital co-founder's path runs through M&A and a SoftBank Vision Fund partnership, a vantage point she now applies to growth-stage bets across enterprise software and AI.
Six names — Pixis, Vendr, Observe.AI, CommerceIQ, Sendoso and Skedulo — make up the deal sheet Priya Saiprasad assembled as a Partner at SoftBank Vision Fund, where she led each of those investments before co-founding a firm of her own.
That record now underpins Touring Capital, the venture firm she co-founded and leads as General Partner. Unite AI, in its Interview Series, positions her as a technology investor whose experience runs across enterprise software, artificial intelligence and growth-stage investing — the territory where corporate AI spending turns into recurring software contracts. An investor formed inside the Vision Fund operation, now deploying growth capital through her own vehicle, is a useful reference point for anyone tracking which enterprise AI categories are drawing late-stage money.
Her career spans three disciplines at once: venture capital, mergers and acquisitions, and enterprise technology.
The three legs do different work for an investor. Venture investing is about sizing market and team risk; M&A offers the buyer's-side view of what strategic acquirers will ultimately pay for; enterprise technology supplies ground-level familiarity with the software stacks portfolio companies sell into. Combined, they form the toolkit Touring Capital brings to growth-stage bets in AI and enterprise software, the two domains her investing practice centers on.
The interview installment uses that arc as a lens on growth-stage AI and enterprise software investing from the capital provider's side of the table — a perspective rarely on display in a market dominated by founder narratives and vendor benchmarks.
For readers allocating toward AI infrastructure and applications, the durable signals sit in the track record: a Vision Fund slate rich in AI-adjacent enterprise names, now carried into a founder-led firm.
