Fund IV has made two platform investments to date:

• In October 2022, the Fund made its first investment in Aline, a proprietary, Rubicon-architected deal that combined three leading software vendors in the Senior Living industry to create a market leader in the sector that addresses the full range of senior living operators' most pressing software needs.
• In July 2023, Rubicon announced its investment in Tacton, the leading Configure, Price, Quote (CPQ) SaaS provider to manufacturers of complex configurable products.

"The Rubicon team is honored to partner with a world-class set of investors that are aligned with our culture and strategy.
