Insight Partners, the venture giant with stakes in hundreds of technology companies worldwide, raised $1.3 billion in commitments for a continuation fund, missing a target of more than $2 billion.

The pool of cash will help extend the life of investments in the software sector across six of the firm’s funds, New York-based Insight said Thursday in an emailed statement, helping it to avoid having to sell stakes prematurely as the funds near maturity.
