Top Down Ventures Announces Launch of MSP Outliers Investor Network

April 23, 2024 (Vancouver, BC, Canada) – Top Down is proud to announce the launch of MSP Outliers, a first of its kind investor platform focused on the $500B+ global market for managed services and the hyper-growth next-generation software powering the MSPs.

The MSP Outliers Investor Network includes 3 components - podcast, blog and live events - geared toward High Net Worth, Family Office and Institutional Investors to promote awareness of the MSP industry, while highlighting and celebrating the entrepreneur “Outliers” that drive it.

Managed Services is one of the largest, fastest growing and least known technology segments even though it dwarfs Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) in size and growth.  For 25-years MSPs have delivered and supported the underlying technology for small and medium-sized businesses that drives the global economy. Even with the importance of MSPs and the fundamentals of the recurring revenue model, very few early-stage venture capital firms exist to fund the underlying software companies - Top Down addresses this need.

“We are excited to launch MSP Outliers to educate investors on the massive opportunities in MSP software from cybersecurity to cloud/digital to hyper-automation through AI,” stated Mark Scott, General Partner at Top Down Ventures. “Through our podcast, blog and live events our mission is to create the first Next-Gen MSP investor community and help elevate the industry globally.  After all, who doesn’t want to invest in the outlier!”
