Vector Capital's fourth and latest fund closed on $1.2 billion last year, more than three times the size of its 2005 predecessor. With such a dramatic increase in capital, the firm has begun to ramp up its back office and infrastructure accordingly. In March, Vector hired David Baylor from Thomas Weisel Partners to take on the newly created role of chief operating officer. Now that he's had a few months to settle in, Baylor spoke with Jennifer Harris about the challenges of taking Vector Capital to a more institutional level.
