At the time of its take-private transaction in September 2025, AGA managed a portfolio valued at approximately €1.1 billion in net asset value, diversified across 11 active Apax private equity funds.

In its new form, AGA continues to provide investors with concentrated, long-term exposure to Apax's private equity program, free from the quarterly reporting obligations and public-market valuation constraints of its previous listed structure.

The Armilar IV fund is positioned to back exceptional deep‑technology founders across the Iberian Peninsula, with a specific interest in companies that fuse advanced science and enterprise‑grade software. With a first close of around €120 million and an ultimate target near €240 million by late 2026, Armilar IV offers meaningful capital to support follow‑on growth and scale financing. It builds on the longstanding track record of Armilar Venture Partners—who have supported companies like OutSystems and Feedzai—from regional innovators to global platforms.

By focusing on companies at the junction of science and software, Armilar IV seeks to partner with technical founding teams that are under‑leveraged in large European growth rounds, providing the scale and guidance needed to lead expansion rounds and become internationally competitive.

Founded in 2006 by Niklas Zennstrom, co-founder of Skype, Atomico is one of Europe's foremost venture capital firms with a portfolio spanning Klarna, Supercell, Graphcore, and other iconic technology businesses.

The fund is designed to support European companies as they scale from growth-stage businesses toward potential IPO candidacy. Atomico Growth VI closed at USD 754 million in September 2024, forming the larger of the two new Atomico funds and the firm's biggest single vehicle to date.

BDC Capital's Deep Tech Venture Fund is a dedicated venture capital fund established in 2021 by BDC Capital, the venture and growth capital arm of the Business Development Bank of Canada (BDC), Canada's federal development finance institution. The fund was designed to address a persistent financing gap in Canada's deep technology sector, providing capital to Canadian startups commercializing transformational technologies requiring longer development cycles and specialized expertise to reach commercial scale.

BDC subsequently wound down the Deep Tech Venture Fund after approximately four years, shifting focus to a defence-technology successor mandate.

The fund deploys capital into a concentrated portfolio of well-run private technology companies with significant revenue run-rates, strong domain knowledge, capital-efficient business models, and substantial cash runway. The investment thesis targets companies with a definable path to potential profitability within two to three years through organic growth or strategic merger and acquisition activity. BR AVC Growth Fund employs a Preferred Multiple on Invested Capital (MOIC) fee structure that eliminates performance fees below a preferred MOIC threshold, directly aligning manager and investor incentives at a stage where capital efficiency is paramount. The target fund size of 20 million US dollars is intentionally compact, providing concentrated exposure to a small number of high-conviction growth-stage investments in the U.S. technology sector. BR AVC Growth Fund completed its first close at 11 million US dollars in April 2023, subsequently deploying into seven portfolio company investments by mid-2024, with an eighth investment in progress. The fund represents Ballast Rock Group's strategy to integrate institutional investment infrastructure with specialist venture capital deal origination, bridging the gap between large institutional growth equity vehicles and smaller, operator-led angel networks. AVC's access to later-stage growth rounds through its network provides investors with a differentiated pipeline in a market segment historically dominated by multi-billion dollar growth equity platforms.

Backed 3 is the third investment vehicle of Backed VC, closing at approximately $100 million.

Through its community‑driven model, Backed VC aims to leverage its network of events and founder‑LP recycling to accelerate deal flow, syndication and talent mobility between Europe and the U.S.By focusing on frontier technology sectors and providing long‑horizon capital to founders with global ambition, Backed 3 positions itself to help unlock Europe’s next generation of platform companies — building with a mindset to compete at the highest level rather than settling for convenience plays.

Bain Capital Asia Fund V is a 2023 vintage buyout fund managed by Bain Capital. The fund is located in Hong Kong and invests in Asia. Bain Capital's fifth Asia-focused fund has exceeded its initial target of $5 billion and has raised around $7.1 billion from global investors.

Bain Capital Fund XIV marks the latest flagship private equity vehicle launched by Bain, achieving a successful raise of USD 14 billion, surpassing its initial USD 10 billion target. The fund is anchored by both external investors (USD 11.8 billion) and Bain‑affiliated entities, which retain a leading investor role. This oversubscription underscores the confidence in Bain’s strategy and capacity to execute at scale. Structured across U.S. (Delaware) and Luxembourg vehicles, Fund XIV supports Bain’s global investment ambitions. The firm integrates its capital across geographies and sectors, leveraging its operational platform and deep domain expertise. The fund benefits from Bain’s global infrastructure, which includes over 330 professionals globally, and a dedicated 90‑member portfolio group focused on digital transformation, supply chain, and talent development. In its investment approach, Fund XIV emphasizes operational value creation over financial engineering. Bain estimates that about 80 % of value across its prior decade of portfolio performance was driven by operational improvements—reflecting its hands‑on, transformational approach in complex environments. The fund will compete in core sectors such as consumer, healthcare, industrials, services, and technology, deploying significant equity capital into fewer, well‑chosen companies. With greater scale and ambition, Fund XIV positions Bain to broaden its platform and generate durable value creation even in competitive markets. The fund will look for investments where Bain’s sector expertise, cross‑platform capabilities, and global insights can make a differentiating impact. Its success will further cement Bain’s position among the world’s leading private equity firms.

Bain Capital Tech Opportunities is a growth equity fund managed by Bain Capital that focuses exclusively on technology companies at critical inflection points in their development. Established in 2019 with its debut fund closed at $1.3 billion, the strategy was created to capture durable value creation opportunities in enterprise software, cybersecurity, healthcare IT, and financial technology—sectors where Bain Capital's deep operational expertise and global network add material value beyond capital. The fund employs a flexible, multi-stage investment approach, making equity investments of $50 million to $200 million in late-stage venture-backed and established technology companies. Unlike traditional buyout strategies, Bain Capital Tech Opportunities seeks to partner with high-quality management teams at the growth-to-scale phase, providing capital and Bain's deep operational resources to help companies navigate market expansions, international growth, and strategic M&A. Target companies typically have strong recurring revenue, defensible market positions, and experienced leadership teams. The fund targets approximately 15 platform investments per vehicle. The first fund deployed capital across a portfolio of approximately 15 companies and was supported by institutional investors, including the New Mexico State Investment Council with a $60 million commitment. Building on this track record, Bain Capital raised a substantially larger second fund of $2.4 billion (closed February 2023), underscoring institutional confidence in the technology-focused growth equity strategy. Notable investments from the platform include Ataccama (data management), Deltatre (sports and entertainment technology), Hudl (coaching and performance analytics), and SumUp (global payments and financial services for SMEs).

The fund successfully closed with $93 million in capital commitments, including a $30 million anchor investment from the State of Wisconsin Investment Board. Founded in 2022, the firm was created to address a growing demand for flexible, structured liquidity solutions in the venture and growth equity markets.

Battery Investment Partners XIV, L.P. is a parallel co-investment vehicle raised alongside Battery Ventures XIV, the fourteenth flagship fund of Boston-based venture capital firm Battery Ventures. The fund closed in July 2022 with approximately $94.6 million in committed capital from two institutional limited partners, including the Alaska Retirement Management Board. As a parallel feeder vehicle, Battery Investment Partners XIV co-invests on substantially identical terms to the main Battery Ventures XIV fund, providing specific institutional investors with a dedicated vehicle that accommodates their regulatory, tax, or mandate requirements. Battery Investment Partners XIV targets the same investment universe as the flagship Battery Ventures XIV fund: technology companies across application software, infrastructure software, consumer technology, and industrial technology and life science tools. The vehicle leverages Battery Ventures' nine-partner investment team and applies the same research-intensive methodology focused on backing technical founders from seed through growth buyout stages. The fund holds exemptions under Rule 506(b) and Sections 3C, 3C.1, and 3C.7 of the Investment Company Act, consistent with a parallel vehicle structure serving a concentrated group of institutional accredited investors. Battery Ventures has raised over $16 billion in capital since its founding in 1983, and Battery Investment Partners XIV forms one component of the firm's fourteenth vintage, which collectively raised more than $3.8 billion. The parallel structure complements the main Battery Ventures XIV vehicle ($3.04 billion) and Battery Ventures XIV EF ($38.5 million). Battery Management Corp. serves as the registered investment adviser (SEC CIK 160921) for all Battery XIV vehicles, operating from offices in Boston, San Francisco, Menlo Park, New York, London, and Tel Aviv. The general partner of record is Battery Partners GP XIV, LLC, the same GP entity overseeing all Battery XIV vehicles.

Battery Ventures XIV EF, L.P. is a companion investment vehicle raised alongside Battery Ventures XIV, the fourteenth flagship fund of Boston-based venture capital firm Battery Ventures. The fund closed in July 2022 with approximately $38.5 million in committed capital. The EF vehicle is structured under Section 3C.1 of the Investment Company Act, which limits the vehicle to up to 100 accredited investors, distinguishing it from the main Battery Ventures XIV fund which employs the broader 3C.7 exemption. This structure is consistent with a seed-stage or early-founders participation vehicle designed for a concentrated group of investors. Battery Ventures XIV EF employs the same investment strategy as Battery Ventures XIV, focusing on technology companies across application software, infrastructure software, consumer technology, and industrial technology and life science tools. The vehicle is managed by Battery Partners GP XIV, LLC, the same general partner entity overseeing all Battery XIV vehicles, and leverages the firm's nine-partner investment team. The EF designation aligns with Battery's practice of offering companion funds that allow specific groups of accredited investors, such as founders or early-stage specialists, to participate in early-stage investment opportunities alongside the main fund vehicle. Battery Ventures has raised over $16 billion in capital since its founding in 1983, and Battery Ventures XIV EF forms the smallest component of the firm's fourteenth vintage by committed capital. The XIV fund family collectively raised more than $3.8 billion across three primary vehicles: Battery Ventures XIV ($3.04 billion), Battery Investment Partners XIV ($94.6 million), and Battery Ventures XIV EF ($38.5 million), complemented by Battery Select Fund II ($530 million) for follow-on investments in existing portfolio companies. Battery Ventures XIV EF closed on July 15, 2022, completing the full Battery XIV fundraising cycle. Battery Management Corp. serves as the SEC-registered investment adviser (CIK 160921).

Battery Ventures XIV, L.P. is the fourteenth flagship fund raised by Battery Ventures, a Boston-based venture capital and growth equity firm founded in 1983. The fund held its initial close in March 2022 and completed its final close in July 2022, having raised approximately $3.04 billion in committed capital from 22 limited partners. Together with companion vehicles Battery Ventures XIV EF and Battery Select Fund II, the Battery XIV fund family raised more than $3.8 billion in total, representing one of Battery's largest fundraising cycles to date.

The fund focuses on four core technology sectors: application software including fintech and healthcare IT; infrastructure software spanning data, artificial intelligence, developer tools, and cybersecurity; consumer technology; and industrial technology and life science tools. The nine-partner investment team includes Neeraj Agrawal, Michael Brown, Morad Elhafed, Jesse Feldman, Russell Fleischer, Roger Lee, Zack Smotherman, Chelsea Stoner, and Dharmesh Thakker, applying Battery's research-intensive methodology focused on backing technical founders from inception to exit. The fund has a mandate to complete majority-growth investments and platform buyouts, continuing a practice Battery has pursued since 2008 across more than 17 platform companies. Battery Ventures XIV is domiciled in Delaware and the Cayman Islands, managed by Battery Management Corp., the SEC-registered investment adviser (CIK 160921). Confirmed limited partners include the Alaska Retirement Management Board, which committed $25 million at first close, and the Alaska Permanent Fund among 22 total institutional investors.

BVP Forge II, L.P. is the second growth buyout fund raised by BVP Forge, a private equity platform integrated within the Bessemer Venture Partners ecosystem. The fund closed on November 19, 2025 at $1 billion — oversubscribed and completed in under four months — bringing BVP Forge's total assets under management to $2.3 billion. BVP Forge was founded in December 2021 by Rob Arditi, formerly a senior growth equity partner at Norwest Equity Partners, to address a structural market gap: capital-efficient, self-sustaining technology and services companies with $10–$50 million in annual revenue that are too mature for traditional venture capital but too growth-oriented for classical leveraged buyout firms. BVP Forge II makes control acquisitions and significant minority investments in companies with $50–$500 million in enterprise value. The fund targets software, AI-enabled services, tech-enabled managed services, and vertical software platforms across North America, Europe, Australia, and New Zealand. Portfolio companies benefit from the ForgeEdge™ operational program, which provides engineering, go-to-market, and talent development support, and the AI Velocity initiative, which helps portfolio companies integrate AI capabilities. Prior Forge I investments include Sunwave Health (behavioral health software), Lightning Step Technologies, BetterRX (hospice pharmacy software), and Technical Toolboxes (energy infrastructure software), illustrating the firm's focus on mission-critical vertical software in underserved industries. BVP Forge's integration into the Bessemer Venture Partners platform gives portfolio companies access to approximately $19 billion in AUM-backed relationships, 40 proprietary technology roadmaps, over 60 annual research publications, and 10+ executive workshops. Confirmed limited partners in Forge II include the New Mexico State Investment Council ($75 million) and the North Dakota State Investment Board ($60 million), both returning LPs from Forge I. Legal counsel: Kirkland & Ellis. Operational headquarters: Redwood City, California.

The Bewater II FCRE fund is a closed‐end European venture capital vehicle managed by Bewater Asset Management, aimed at delivering attractive returns by investing in privately‐held technology companies in Spain and Portugal. The fund targets companies which are already generating revenue, ideally with positive cash flow or clear path to it, and leverages the team’s extensive experience of more than 80 years together in private company investment. Investments are directed both through primary offerings and — with preference — via secondary transactions (that is, acquiring equity stakes from existing shareholders). The fund seeks to invest in companies that grow at least 30% annually, have valuations above €3 million, and typically valuations no more than 10 × sales. The vehicle has a target size of approximately €40 million, and is structured with a ten‐year life (with possible extensions of two years). Management fees are set at 1% on invested capital, and a carried interest (success fee) of 25% with a preferred return of 6% per annum for investors. The fund emphasises alignment of interests: the investment committee, which includes the founders of Bewater and well‑known Spanish investors, will invest c.€2.75 million into the selected companies, approximately half via the fund and half via dedicated single‑investment vehicles. The fund takes minority stakes (typically up to ~30%) and aims for governance structures that align with entrepreneur and investor interests rather than investor‑only protections.

The Bintang Semiconductor Impact Fund I (BSIF I) is a MYR 200 million (approximately USD 46.56 million) impact investment fund managed by Bintang Capital Partners Berhad, a Malaysia-based alternative asset manager. Launched in October 2024, BSIF I is positioned as the first gender-lens semiconductor fund in Southeast Asia and operates under a 'carry-at-risk' structure in which the management team's carried interest is contingent on meeting defined impact performance thresholds relating to gender equity and environmental outcomes. The fund has earned a 'Gold' rating under Bluemark's FundID impact rating system and is anchored by Dana Penjana Nasional, Malaysia's government-backed catalytic fund established to co-invest in high-potential domestic growth companies. BSIF I targets growth-stage companies operating within and adjacent to Malaysia's semiconductor value chain, with a particular focus on high-tech manufacturing, automation, assembly and test, chip design, and advanced electronics. Beyond conventional financial returns, the fund applies a dual-impact framework: portfolio companies are expected to adopt measurable commitments to women's participation in leadership and skilled manufacturing roles, and to implement carbon transition initiatives aligned with Malaysia's National Semiconductor Strategy (NSS). BSIF I was developed in close collaboration with the Malaysian Investment Development Authority (MIDA) and the Federation of Malaysian Manufacturing (FMM), whose April 2025 Memorandum of Understanding with Bintang Capital formally integrated the fund into the government's strategic framework for semiconductor industry development and IPO readiness. The fund has attracted a diverse group of investors including AHAM Asset Management, the Malaysian Armed Forces Fund Board, CVC Capital Partners, and Nikko Asset Management, alongside the anchor commitment from Dana Penjana Nasional. The Bintang Capital Partners team brings extensive domain expertise to the fund's thesis: the founding partners collectively hold more than 30 years of experience in finance, operations, M&A, and electrical and electronics manufacturing, including leadership roles at MIDA and senior positions in the semiconductor supply chain. Through BSIF I, Bintang Capital Partners aims to catalyze Malaysia's ambitions as a next-generation semiconductor hub, leveraging the country's existing strengths in back-end manufacturing and its growing ecosystem of electronics innovation.

The fund launched fundraising in September 2024 and quickly attracted strong global institutional interest, building on Blackstone’s proven track record in the region. As of October 2025, the fund has reached its $10 billion target and is on track to close at its $12.9 billion hard cap by Q1 2026. Approximately 90% of existing LPs from prior Asia funds have recommitted, increasing their allocations by an average of 30%. The strong backing reflects confidence in Blackstone’s historical performance, particularly the 41% net return and 80% capital returned from Fund II. Geographically, India and Japan remain core to the strategy. In previous Asia funds, India accounted for 31% of capital deployed, followed by 22% in Japan and 9% in Australia. Fund III will pursue broader regional diversification, adapting to evolving market dynamics and tapping into emerging opportunities across the wider Asia-Pacific landscape. Despite macro headwinds such as high interest rates and a muted exit environment, Blackstone and other top-tier global firms continue to raise mega-funds by leveraging strong brands, deep operational teams, and global scale. Asia-Pacific’s long-term secular growth, demographic trends, and economic transformation continue to make it a compelling region for private equity deployment.

Boldstart Fund VII is a $250 million venture capital fund raised by Boldstart Ventures, a New York-based inception-stage firm that has backed enterprise software founders before product, traction, or even a deck since 2010. The fund closed in July 2025 as the seventh in Boldstart's series, bringing total assets under management to over $1.1 billion. The fund was oversubscribed but deliberately capped at $250 million to preserve the firm's high-conviction, founder-first model.

The fund leads pre-seed and seed rounds with initial checks from $500,000 to $15 million, specializing in deeply technical teams reimagining enterprise architecture from first principles. Follow-on capital can be deployed from the firm's $175 million Opportunities III vehicle for breakout portfolio companies. Over fifteen years and seven funds, Boldstart has backed enterprise companies including Snyk, BigID, Iterable, and Hyper, which have redefined developer security, observability, and SaaS infrastructure. With over $1.1 billion in AUM and a strict inception-only mandate, Fund VII continues Boldstart's conviction that the best time to back a transformative enterprise company is before the product exists, when technical vision is the sole criterion.

Bonfire Ventures Fund III is a $168 million seed venture capital fund raised by Bonfire Ventures, a Los Angeles-based firm founded by Mark Mullen and Jim Andelman that specializes in backing B2B software companies at the seed stage. The fund closed at its cap on May 31, 2022 — deliberately oversubscribed — and deployed capital into 32 enterprise software companies through 2025, making it the third core fund in Bonfire's growing series. Fund III focuses on seed-stage B2B software companies addressing large, underserved verticals including construction, healthcare, insurance, industrial operations, and established business categories ripe for digital disruption. Bonfire leads seed rounds with initial checks averaging $2.7 million at pre-money valuations of approximately $16.4 million, providing founders with early institutional conviction, board support, and go-to-market guidance. Fund III was deployed alongside a $63 million second opportunity fund for follow-on capital. Fund III's early performance benchmarks have been exceptional: 73% of companies backed in the first investment year raised a Series A within 24 months, against a 15% industry benchmark, and the average portfolio company grew ARR by 337% from initial investment. All 32 portfolio companies remained active through the fund's close-out in 2025. These results directly supported the launch of Bonfire Ventures IV, a $245 million vehicle, confirming Bonfire's differentiated sourcing and selection model for seed-stage enterprise software.

Bonfire Ventures Fund IV is a $245 million seed venture capital fund managed by Bonfire Ventures — the Los Angeles-based B2B software specialist founded by Mark Mullen and Jim Andelman — and is the largest vehicle in the firm's history. The fund reached final close in February 2025, directly following the successful close-out of Fund III, which saw 73% of seed investments advance to Series A within 24 months of initial check. Fund IV continues Bonfire's seed-stage B2B software mandate with expanded attention to artificial intelligence integration. Over half of Fund III's portfolio companies became AI-native during their growth, and Fund IV anticipates deeper AI embeddedness across its target verticals: e-commerce and fintech convergence, construction, healthcare, insurance, industrial automation, and legacy business categories undergoing digital transformation. The fund writes average initial checks of approximately $2.7 million at pre-money valuations around $16.4 million, leading seed rounds as the primary institutional backer. Partner Brett Queener (former Salesforce EVP of Global Commercial Sales) joined the team ahead of Fund IV to deepen go-to-market expertise. With $245 million in committed capital, Bonfire IV gives the firm capacity to lead more rounds and expand follow-on reserves for breakout companies. Bonfire has backed seed-stage B2B software across four fund vintages since 2016, building a consistent track record of selecting enterprise founders who outperform industry benchmarks at Series A conversion, ARR growth, and company survival rates.

The fund is dedicated to backing founders building at the frontier of deep technology, with a portfolio spanning cryptocurrency and blockchain infrastructure, space exploration, artificial intelligence, robotics, virtual reality, and advanced biotechnology.

Bowmark Capital Partners VII is the seventh flagship fund of Bowmark Capital LLP, a London-based private equity firm dedicated to investing in UK technology, software, and technology-enabled business services companies. Raised with aggregate capital commitments of GBP 900 million, the fund closed in January 2024 at its hard cap, approximately 50 percent larger than its predecessor and oversubscribed within three months of its October 2023 first close.

Fonds National d'Amorçage 2 (FNA 2) is a €500 million government-backed fund-of-funds managed by Bpifrance, France's public investment bank. Created under the Programme d'Investissements d'Avenir (PIA) through a convention between the French State and Bpifrance signed on 28 December 2017, FNA 2 is the second generation of France's national seeding fund initiative, one of the largest government-sponsored seed VC fund-of-funds in continental Europe. The fund was initially capitalized with €250 million, with a further €250 million committed in a second tranche planned for 2020. FNA 2 invests in professionally managed seed venture capital funds that themselves back early-stage, high-growth technology companies in France. Eligible investee funds must prioritize French and European non-listed companies in strategic technological sectors including biotechnology and life sciences, digital technologies such as artificial intelligence, big data, cybersecurity, and fintech, as well as ecotechnologies. By 30 June 2020, FNA 2 had committed €93.3 million across five seed funds: Agrinnovation, PSL Innovation Fund, Frst 2, Technocom 3, and Pertinence Invest 2, serving as a cornerstone LP for emerging French fund managers seeking institutional validation. FNA 2 builds on the first Fonds National d'Amorçage, which established France's model for public seed fund catalysis. A third generation, FNA 3, endowed with €400 million under France 2030, has since been launched by Bpifrance and the Secrétariat Général pour l'Investissement, underscoring the program's sustained importance to France's innovation economy. Bpifrance manages the fund through its Fonds Propres division's fund-of-funds activity.

French Tech Seed is a French government venture seed fund managed by Bpifrance on behalf of the French State, operating under the France 2030 national investment plan. Established with a target fund size of approximately €500 million, the fund deploys convertible bonds to early-stage French technology startups, acting as a catalytic instrument for private co-investment at the pre-seed and seed stages of the innovation lifecycle. The fund's investment strategy focuses exclusively on very early-stage companies—startups fewer than three years old with fewer than 50 employees and revenues or balance sheets under €10 million—that demonstrate high-intensity technology innovation. Rather than taking direct equity positions, French Tech Seed provides convertible bond financing of €50,000 to €250,000 per company, structured with a five-year maturity and conversion rights triggered when cumulative fundraising reaches €2 million. The program requires that applicants have completed a qualifying co-investor fundraising round within the prior three months, ensuring that public capital is deployed alongside committed private capital as a leverage mechanism rather than as a substitute for it. As one of Bpifrance's flagship seed-stage instruments, French Tech Seed has been deployed across the French technology ecosystem spanning software, deep tech, life sciences, and industrial technology. Bpifrance has historically represented more than 40% of capital raised by French seed funds, and the French Tech Seed program anchors a significant portion of that institutional presence at the earliest venture stage. PitchBook records the 2019 vintage at $444 million, reflecting the fund's position as a closed vehicle that has completed its initial deployment cycle under the France 2030 framework.

With a generalist approach across technology and life sciences, the fund is positioned to support France's most competitive scale-ups throughout their late-stage growth journey. Since its 2014 founding, Large Venture has built a portfolio of over 80 companies, including 12 members of the Next40 and 25 members of the French Tech 120.

Bravo Capital Partners II is a closed‑end private equity fund dedicated to acquiring majority stakes in Italian business‑to‑business companies exhibiting strong growth potential, primarily within the “Made in Italy” industrial and service landscape. The fund is sponsored by Bravo Capital Management and advised by Bravo Invest, leveraging their deep knowledge of Italian lower‑mid‑market dynamics and consolidation opportunities. With a target size around €110 million and a first closing at approximately €90 million in early 2022, the fund attracted commitments from institutional investors, family offices and high‑net‑worth individuals, anchored by Luxempart and co‑investors such as the European Investment Fund. The fundraising marks a continuation of a proven strategic approach from its predecessor vehicle, Bravo Capital Partners I. The investment strategy is squarely focused on Italian SMEs operating in business‑to‑business sectors that offer visible platforms for growth and aggregation: companies with a strong niche, potential for add‑on acquisitions, and a business model rooted in supply‑chain excellence or specialised manufacturing or services. The fund intends to partner with management teams and founders to support growth, operational enhancement, and strategic consolidation over the investment horizon. Bravo Capital Partners II views the Italian domestic market as fertile ground for value creation in the lower‑mid‑market segment where regional strengths, craftsmanship, and niche specialisation combine with consolidation opportunities. By targeting majority stakes and executing bolt‑on strategies, the fund aims to build larger, more scalable entities while preserving the entrepreneurial legacy of the companies it invests in and leveraging Italy’s global production networks.

Bregal Sagemount Basecamp I is an inaugural $500 million small-cap growth equity fund managed by Bregal Sagemount, a New York-based growth-oriented investment firm founded in 2012 by Gene Yoon. The fund reached its hard cap with a final close in July 2024, representing Bregal Sagemount's first dedicated vehicle for investments in profitable, founder-led businesses requiring sub-$75 million equity checks — a segment historically underserved by the firm's flagship equity funds. Basecamp I targets bootstrapped and capital-efficient companies across the software, information and data services, financial technology, digital infrastructure, healthcare IT, and business services sectors in North America and Europe. The fund provides flexible, patient equity capital to durable growth businesses with high recurring revenues and uncorrelated secular growth characteristics. Equity check sizes range from $20 to $75 million per transaction, co-led by Zuhair Khan (who joined as co-head from General Atlantic in November 2023) and Jordan Walton (with the firm since 2017). The strategy complements Bregal Sagemount's flagship equity funds — which deploy $20 to $400 million per transaction — by addressing the overlooked small-cap cohort where founder ownership and operational efficiency create asymmetric return potential. Bregal Sagemount has invested in more than 70 portfolio companies since its founding, cumulatively raising $7.5 billion across equity and credit funds through 2024. The firm ranked fifth among 106-plus growth capital firms in the HEC Paris 2023 performance rankings and was named a top private equity firm by GrowthCap in 2025. Basecamp I attracted re-ups from the firm's existing institutional LP base alongside new investors, closing oversubscribed at its $500 million hard cap within months of launch. Bregal Sagemount is backed by Bregal Investments, the family office of the Brenninkmeyer family, providing permanent capital backing that differentiates the firm from managers dependent solely on LP re-ups.

Bregal Sagemount Credit Solutions is an approximately $800 million private credit fund managed by Bregal Sagemount, a New York-headquartered growth equity and credit firm founded in 2012. The fund achieved its final close in September 2024, representing Bregal Sagemount's first dedicated credit vehicle after more than a decade of equity-only investing. It is structured as a dual-series fund encompassing an Opportunistic Credit series targeting higher-return subordinated and bespoke instruments, and a levered Direct Lending series designed to deliver competitive current yields. The fund provides non-dilutive debt capital to the same technology-enabled growth companies targeted by the firm's equity strategies — including software, information and data services, financial technology, digital infrastructure, healthcare IT, and business services businesses in North America and Europe. Individual credit transactions range from $15 to $100 million, with the Opportunistic Credit series pursuing mezzanine, second-lien, and bespoke subordinated instruments, while the Direct Lending series offers senior secured facilities with leverage to enhance yield. The dual-series architecture allows LPs to choose their preferred risk-return profile while the shared deal origination platform leverages the firm's decades of relationships in the growth company ecosystem. At final close, Bregal Sagemount Credit Solutions had completed five investments across both series, demonstrating rapid deployment from day one. The fund was anchored by leading pension fund investors with long-term private credit commitments. Bregal Sagemount has cumulatively raised $7.5 billion across equity and credit funds since 2012 and manages more than 70 active and exited portfolio companies. Scott Simpson leads the credit solutions franchise, positioning the vehicle to deliver approximately $1.0 billion of total deployable capital — including leverage on the Direct Lending series — to founder-owned and sponsor-backed growth companies that prize certainty, speed, and structural flexibility over lowest-cost execution.

Bregal Sagemount Fund IV is a $2.5 billion growth-focused private equity fund managed by Bregal Sagemount, the North American investment arm of Bregal Investments.

Fund IV closed at its hard cap in October 2022, representing a 66% increase over the predecessor Fund III, and attracted 100% limited partner re-participation with a 130% re-up rate by dollar value, reflecting exceptional LP conviction in the manager's track record and strategy. The fund deploys flexible, solution-oriented capital across a range of transaction types — including control buyouts, minority growth investments, recapitalizations, and structured investments — in companies typically headquartered in the United States. Bregal Sagemount's target sectors include enterprise software, financial technology and specialty finance, digital infrastructure, healthcare IT, and business and consumer services. The firm emphasizes businesses with strong management teams, durable competitive moats, and meaningful opportunities to accelerate growth through operational improvements, add-on acquisitions, and international expansion. Since inception, Bregal Sagemount has built a portfolio of over 40 investments and consistently generated top-quartile returns across its fund vintages. Fund IV continued this trajectory, investing in a diversified set of high-growth companies across the US market. The manager is backed by Bregal Investments, a global private equity platform with over $20 billion in assets under management, providing Fund IV's portfolio companies with access to a broad international network of co-investors, advisors, and strategic partners.

Bridgepoint Development Capital V (BDC V) is a €2.8 billion lower mid-market private equity fund managed by Bridgepoint Group, the London-headquartered listed alternative asset manager. BDC V represents the fifth vintage of Bridgepoint's dedicated development capital strategy, which targets high-growth companies at an earlier stage than Bridgepoint's flagship buyout funds. The fund closed in 2024, continuing a track record of strong fundraising momentum across the BDC series and reflecting enduring LP confidence in Bridgepoint's differentiated positioning in the European growth segment. The fund targets majority and significant minority investments in companies valued between €100 million and €300 million, focusing on the Services, Technology, and Healthcare sectors across the United Kingdom, France, the Nordic region, and German-speaking European countries. BDC V employs a buy-and-build strategy, seeking market leaders with strong organic growth potential that can be accelerated through bolt-on acquisitions, international expansion, and operational improvement. Early investments in BDC V include the take-private of Eckoh, a leading secure payments software provider, and the acquisition of Argon & Co, a global supply chain and industrialization consultancy, demonstrating the fund's focus on technology-enabled services businesses. Bridgepoint Development Capital benefits from the broader platform of Bridgepoint Group, a publicly listed alternatives manager with approximately €44 billion in assets under management across private equity, credit, and infrastructure. The BDC platform has a mature track record in its target markets, with prior vintages generating strong returns and multiple successful exits. As of early 2025, BDC V had already deployed approximately 11% of its capital across its first two portfolio companies, signaling active deployment pace in the year following final close.

BroadLight Capital Fund I is the $225 million inaugural growth equity fund managed by BroadLight Capital, a New York-based private investment firm founded in January 2021 by David Dorfman, Kevin Yorn, and Rick Yorn. The fund employs a differentiated late-stage venture and growth equity strategy that pairs financial capital with a proprietary network of globally recognized artists, athletes, creators, and entertainment personalities who serve as operating advisors and distribution accelerators for portfolio companies. This cultural and consumer network is a distinctive competitive advantage that BroadLight leverages to help investee businesses reach mainstream audiences faster than conventional growth equity models. BroadLight Capital Fund I targets high-growth technology, media, consumer, and entertainment companies, with an emphasis on businesses where cultural access, brand building, and consumer distribution represent meaningful levers for value creation. The fund's sector focus spans AI and voice technology, legal technology, healthcare technology, and digital media — sectors where distribution, brand, and community are increasingly decisive competitive factors. Among the fund's notable portfolio companies is ElevenLabs, the AI voice platform that crossed $500 million in ARR in 2026 and raised $500 million in a Sequoia-led round at an $11 billion valuation. BroadLight Capital Management LLC is registered as an investment adviser with the SEC (CRD #315015) and operates from its New York headquarters. The firm's founding partners bring a deep background in both financial structuring and creative industry deal-making, giving BroadLight a dual competency that differentiates its approach in the growth equity market.

CRV (formerly Charles River Ventures) is one of the world's oldest active venture capital firms, backing technology founders continuously since 1970. The CRV 20th Flagship Fund is the firm's twentieth primary fund vehicle, raised at $750 million and formally closed in August 2025. The fund represents a deliberate downsize relative to CRV's prior $1 billion flagship, reflecting the firm's conviction that early-stage returns compress at scale. Notably, CRV returned $275 million of unallocated capital from its prior $500 million Select late-stage vehicle before beginning the new raise, signaling a full refocus on early-stage opportunity and meaningful ownership in each portfolio company. The fund invests exclusively at the seed and Series A stages in the United States, organized around two founding themes: consumer companies and developer tools (devtools). These verticals distill CRV's observed edge over five decades: the firm has backed consumer-first breakouts including DoorDash and Mercury, and developer tooling leaders including Vercel and CodeRabbit. CRV leads rounds rather than following, with a stated commitment to deliver term sheets within 24 hours of meeting a founding team. No companion late-stage vehicle is being raised alongside this fund, ensuring portfolio focus and maximum ownership depth at entry. The CRV 20th Flagship Fund raised commitments from a deep institutional LP base in approximately four weeks, with investor demand reported at double the $750 million hard cap — an unusually fast close pace for a fund of this size. Since 1970, CRV has backed over 750 startups, of which at least 80 have gone public. The fund entered an active Investing phase immediately following its August 2025 close and will deploy capital over a standard 3 to 4 year investment period into seed and Series A companies primarily in the United States technology ecosystem.

EUDL IV’s investment approach emphasizes senior secured lending, focused on risk-adjusted returns and capital preservation. The fund’s scale and execution capacity enable it to lead or anchor transactions, positioning CVC as a trusted partner to sponsors and borrowers alike. Its strategy also supports complex financings such as take-privates, platform acquisitions, and recapitalizations. CVC Credit continues to grow its private credit footprint, now managing over €18 billion across Direct Lending and Capital Solutions. With strong tailwinds in the European private credit market and increasing disintermediation from traditional banks, EUDL IV is well-positioned to capture market share and deliver attractive risk-adjusted returns for its global institutional investor base.

Cactus Partners Fund I is the debut venture capital fund of Cactus Venture Partners (CVP), a Mumbai-based investor focused on early-stage companies in India. The fund reached final close in February 2024 with a corpus of approximately Rs 630 crore (approximately $75 million), following an initial closing in August 2022 that raised roughly Rs 350 crore ($44 million). Cactus Venture Partners positions itself as a long-term institutional partner for founders building transformative businesses across India's fastest-growing technology sectors. The fund targets Series A and early Series B investments, with a primary sector focus on climate technology, healthcare technology, and B2B SaaS. This thesis reflects CVP's conviction that India's next wave of breakout companies will emerge at the intersection of deep technology and India-specific market needs—whether in sustainable agriculture, digital health infrastructure, or enterprise software built natively for emerging-market conditions. The fund's investor base reflects broad conviction in this thesis: approximately 60% of capital committed by domestic limited partners—including SIDBI (Small Industries Development Bank of India), the Self-Reliant India Fund (SRI Fund), and the UP Startup Fund—with the remaining 40% from international LPs predominantly from the United States, Singapore, the European Union, and the United Kingdom, as well as domestic family offices and ultra-high-net-worth individuals (UHNIs). Cactus Partners Fund I marked Cactus Venture Partners' entry as an institutionalized early-stage investor in the Indian venture ecosystem. The successful two-stage fundraise—completed in a challenging global venture market—validated the fund's sector thesis and its ability to attract a diversified domestic and international LP base. The fund's portfolio spans climate technology, health technology, and B2B enterprise solutions, setting the foundation for CVP's continued growth as a trusted capital partner for Indian founders at the inflection point between product-market fit and full-scale growth.

Unlike strategic corporate venture capital funds, CapitalG invests primarily for financial return rather than strategic alignment with Google's core products, though portfolio companies benefit from access to Google's technical infrastructure, distribution channels, and executive expertise.

Targeting the lower middle market segment of the technology industry, the fund represents Charlesbank's dedicated focus on technology investment opportunities distinct from its flagship private equity strategy, providing institutional investors with concentrated exposure to control-oriented transactions in technology-driven businesses across the United States. The fund pursues control-oriented buyout and recapitalization transactions in technology companies with enterprise values ranging from approximately $50 million to $300 million, targeting businesses that exhibit a defensible business model, predictable financial profile, and attractive unit economics.

The fund targets control-oriented acquisitions and recapitalizations of technology companies with enterprise values primarily between $50 million and $300 million, focusing on businesses that demonstrate defensible business models, predictable financial profiles, and attractive unit economics. Priority investment areas include enterprise software, cybersecurity, cloud infrastructure, financial technology, healthcare IT, and technology-enabled services. Charlesbank's platform value-creation program—comprising operational, commercial, and talent initiatives—is deployed systematically across portfolio companies, supplemented by cross-fund collaboration with the firm's flagship private equity strategy to source, evaluate, and develop investment opportunities. Charlesbank Technology Opportunities Fund II achieved its final close on June 18, 2024, raising $1.275 billion in total limited partner commitments—surpassing both its $1.1 billion fundraising target and its initial $1.2 billion hard cap. The oversubscription reflects sustained institutional confidence following the successful execution of the predecessor fund and the firm's expanded track record in technology-sector buyouts. The fund's scale increase from $700 million to $1.275 billion positions Charlesbank to pursue a broader range of opportunities within the lower middle market technology landscape, including larger platform acquisitions and more complex carve-out transactions.

The EIC Fund covers all EU member states and Horizon Europe associated countries, with a geographic priority on venture ecosystems that historically receive less private capital relative to their scientific output, making it a structurally important source of deep-tech deal flow for private co-investors across Europe.

EQT VII is a large-cap buyout fund managed by EQT AB, the Stockholm-headquartered alternative investment organization. Established with a 2015 vintage, EQT VII completed its final close at EUR 6.75 billion on July 31, 2015, reaching its hard cap and finishing significantly oversubscribed, with more than 70% of commitments made by investors in prior EQT funds. Domiciled in Luxembourg, EQT VII targets control and co-control equity investments in established European companies with strong market positions, significant revenue and earnings growth potential, robust cash flows, and high-quality management platforms. Typical equity ticket sizes range from EUR 125 million to EUR 600 million, positioning EQT VII firmly in the large-cap buyout segment. The fund focuses on companies primarily in the Nordic Region, German-speaking Europe, and the Benelux Region, applying EQT's signature industrial approach — a hands-on operational value creation methodology supported by EQT's Industrial Network of senior industry advisors who serve as strategic partners throughout the ownership period. EQT VII is classified as SFDR Article 8, integrating ESG factors into investment decision-making and portfolio management. EQT VII's investment strategy focuses on sectors where EQT has built multi-decade operational expertise: healthcare and life sciences, technology and software, financial services, industrial technology, and business-to-business services. The fund pursues transformational buy-and-build strategies, internationalization of strong domestic champions, and operational improvement programs developed in partnership with portfolio company management teams. EQT's Industrial Network provides portfolio companies with access to strategic advisors, operational experts, and proprietary market intelligence that differentiates EQT's ownership model. Dedicated value creation teams embed operational resources directly into portfolio management to drive measurable improvement in revenue growth, EBITDA margins, and organizational resilience over the investment holding period. EQT VII's limited partner base reflects deep institutional quality and broad geographic diversity. Anchor LPs include AP3 and AP6 (Swedish national pension funds), APG (Netherlands), Ardian, Argentum (Norwegian private equity investor), CNP Assurances (French insurer), Danica (Danish pension), GIC (Singapore sovereign wealth fund), HarbourVest Partners, KEVA (Finnish local government pension), KIRKBI Invest (LEGO family holding), Ilmarinen (Finnish pension), New Mexico State Investment Council, New York City Retirement Systems, Partners Group, PFA (Danish pension group), Sampension, Signal Iduna (German insurer), USS (UK Universities Superannuation Scheme), and Varma (Finnish pension insurer). The fund is now fully invested and actively managing its portfolio of European buyout companies through the realization phase.

EQT XI is the eleventh flagship private equity fund raised by EQT Group, one of the world's leading purpose-driven global investment organizations headquartered in Stockholm, Sweden, with EUR 273 billion in total assets under management as of March 2025. The fund represents a continuation of EQT's established mid-to-large-cap buyout franchise, building on the success of EQT X, which raised EUR 22 billion (approximately USD 24 billion) in February 2024 and became one of the largest private equity funds ever raised in Europe. EQT XI targets controlling and co-controlling equity investments in high-quality, market-leading companies across EQT's core sectors of healthcare, technology, tech-enabled services, and industrial technology. The fund applies EQT's well-proven "active ownership" model, working closely with portfolio companies to drive organic growth, operational improvement, and strategic transformation. Individual deal sizes under the strategy typically range from EUR 200 million to EUR 1.6 billion in equity per transaction, consistent with EQT X's investment parameters. The fund will invest primarily across Europe and North America, geographies where EQT has deep local networks, sector expertise, and proven deal-sourcing capabilities built over three decades. EQT XI was announced in June 2025 with a target size of EUR 23 billion. By November 2025, EQT set a hard cap of EUR 24 billion for the fund, indicating strong LP demand. Management fees commence from either the first investment closing or the end of EQT X's commitment period, whichever comes first, aligning the fund launch with EQT X's approach toward full deployment. EQT XI continues EQT's consistent fundraising cadence, where successor funds begin raising capital as predecessor funds reach 80–90% deployment, ensuring continuity of investment activity for LPs committed across the fund family.

The fund has benefitted from a strong re-up rate from longstanding Limited Partners and welcomed new investors to its global Limited Partner base.

Cinven usually investors in the following sectors: Business Services, Consumer, TMT, Healthcare, Financial Services and Industrial. The strategy for Fund 8 builds on the approach successfully used in previous funds, investing in control positions in growth-oriented, market-leading, cash-generative companies.

Elevate Capital Fund I is the inaugural venture capital fund managed by Elevate Capital, a Portland, Oregon-based firm founded in 2016 with a mandate to expand access to early-stage capital for underrepresented entrepreneurs. The fund raised approximately $10 million and established Elevate Capital's core thesis: that high-potential startups founded by women, minorities, and veterans are systematically underserved by conventional venture capital, creating a persistent investment opportunity in the Pacific Northwest. Elevate Capital was co-founded to address the structural funding gap faced by diverse founders, a group that historically received a fraction of a percent of all venture capital deployed in the United States. The fund invested at the Pre-Seed and Seed stages in technology and healthcare companies in the Portland, Oregon metropolitan region, making initial ticket sizes of $25,000 to $100,000 in women-, minority-, and veteran-founded startups. Elevate Capital's model combines financial capital with intensive mentorship and network access — what the firm terms mentor capital — connecting portfolio founders to operators, domain experts, and follow-on investors who can accelerate company development. The fund concentrated on a geography and founder profile where competitive deal dynamics were minimal and where Elevate's community relationships provided distinctive sourcing advantages. Elevate Capital Fund I validated the firm's investment approach and demonstrated that backing underrepresented founders generates competitive financial returns while advancing equity in entrepreneurship. The fund's performance supported the launch of Elevate Capital Fund II with a $40 million target and a national investment mandate, and led to Elevate Capital being selected by Business Oregon to manage the state's SSBCI Venture Direct program and Innovation Gap Funds. The firm's track record across Fund I and subsequent vehicles established Elevate Capital as a leading institution-backed inclusive VC manager in the Pacific Northwest.

Elevate Capital Fund II is the second venture capital fund managed by Elevate Capital, a Portland, Oregon-based inclusive investment firm. Launched in January 2021 with a $40 million target and a $26 million first close, the fund extended Elevate Capital's proven model of backing underrepresented entrepreneurs from a regional Pacific Northwest focus to a fully national mandate. The fund targets underrepresented minority founders — including women, people of color (BIPOC), LGBTQ+ founders, and veterans — across technology, life sciences, and medical device sectors, investing from Pre-Seed through Series A in companies that conventional venture capital systematically overlooks. Elevate Capital Fund II makes initial investments of $100,000 to $2 million per company, reflecting a larger check size than Fund I's $25,000 to $100,000 range, enabling more substantive lead and co-lead positions. The fund's investment thesis is grounded in the documented market inefficiency: BIPOC and female founders receive a fraction of a percent of all U.S. venture capital, creating a persistent supply-demand imbalance where high-quality opportunities are available at attractive entry valuations. Elevate Capital provides mentor capital alongside financial capital — intensive operational support, introductions to follow-on investors, and access to the firm's ecosystem of operators and advisors — to help founders navigate early-stage challenges that disproportionately affect those without established venture networks. By the time of the January 2021 fund launch, Elevate Capital Fund II had already deployed capital in six portfolio companies, five of which were led by Black women founders. The fund's LP base included institutional anchors Meyer Memorial Trust and Oregon Growth Account alongside prominent individual investors from the venture community. Fund II built on the track record of Elevate Capital's Fund I and Innovation Gap Funds, which together demonstrated that inclusive venture investing delivers both competitive financial returns and measurable impact in underserved founder communities.

Endeavor Catalyst IV is the fourth co-investment fund in the Endeavor Catalyst series, managed by Endeavor Catalyst, the investment arm of Endeavor, the global nonprofit supporting high-impact entrepreneurship in emerging and underserved markets. The fund held its final close in June 2022 at USD 292 million, surpassing its original target of USD 200–250 million, and brought total assets under management across all Endeavor Catalyst vehicles to over USD 500 million since the series' inception in 2012. The fund is backed by more than 100 Endeavor Entrepreneurs as limited partners, alongside prominent global investors and founders. Endeavor Catalyst employs a rules-based co-investment model, investing exclusively in companies led by entrepreneurs who have been selected into Endeavor's global network. The fund co-invests in priced equity rounds, primarily at Series A, B, and C stages, alongside leading institutional venture capital and growth equity funds including Andreessen Horowitz, General Atlantic, Insight Partners, Lightspeed Venture Partners, and SoftBank. The geographic mandate spans 35 or more emerging markets including Brazil, Mexico, Indonesia, Pakistan, the Middle East, Africa, and Southeast Asia, with sector allocations across fintech, consumer tech, and enterprise software. Endeavor Catalyst IV attracted LP commitments from iconic technology founders including Reid Hoffman (LinkedIn), Marcin Zukowski (Snowflake), Kevin Ryan (DoubleClick, MongoDB), and Bill Ackman (Pershing Square), as well as over 100 Endeavor Entrepreneurs representing more than 30% of the LP base. As of the fund's closing, the cumulative Endeavor Catalyst portfolio had generated 49 unicorn-valued companies, nearly 2 million jobs, and USD 17 billion in annual revenue. Endeavor Catalyst manages USD 540 million or more in AUM across all fund vehicles as of 2024.

Endeit Capital III (legal entity: Endeit Fund III) is the third flagship growth equity fund of Endeit Capital, an Amsterdam and Hamburg-based venture capital firm specialising in European internet and technology scale-ups. The fund held its final close in May 2022 at €303 million, exceeding its original hard cap as a reopening to institutional investors added a further €50 million above the initial target of €250 million. KfW Capital, the German state-owned promotional investment bank, served as an anchor investor alongside German institutional investors committing €50 million in aggregate. The fund attracted over 75 backers including 12 portfolio company founders, underscoring Endeit's reputation within the European startup ecosystem. Endeit Capital III targets Series B-stage and growth-stage technology companies with proven business models and international expansion potential, operating in sectors including Climate Technology, Fintech, Future of Work, Sales Enablement, Security, and AI-driven enterprise software. The fund applies Endeit's established approach of partnering intensively with management teams to support internationalisation, particularly within the DACH region and the Nordics — geographies where Endeit has built one of Europe's deepest operational networks. The firm's expansion to a Stockholm office, opened alongside the Fund III close announcement, reflects this Nordic commitment. Portfolio investments from Endeit Capital III include Parcellab (supply chain communication software), Sharpist (digital leadership coaching), Stravito (enterprise knowledge management), and Amberscript (AI-powered transcription and captioning). Endeit Capital, founded in 2006 and descended from European media group Endemol, manages the fund from offices in Amsterdam, Hamburg, and Stockholm. Fund III is positioned for investors seeking concentrated exposure to high-growth European digital businesses at the inflection point between early traction and global scale.

Endeit Fund III is the third growth-equity fund raised by Endeit Capital, the Amsterdam and Hamburg-headquartered late-stage venture and growth capital firm active across seven European countries. Launched in April 2021, the fund targets high-growth Series B-equivalent technology scaleups across the Netherlands, Germany, the Nordic markets, and other Western European countries, providing equity capital in the €7–€15 million per ticket range to founders seeking their first institutional growth-stage commitment. The fund's investment thesis centres on three pillars: deep expertise in digital transformation businesses, a high-conviction portfolio with fewer and more intensively supported positions than typical early-stage funds, and a co-investor network of more than 75 entrepreneur limited partners who bring domain knowledge, customer access, and follow-on capital. Endeit Capital's predecessor vehicles had backed companies including Otrium, Sendcloud, and Springbok Agency, and the Fund III portfolio extends that B-stage, operator-network playbook across media-tech, e-commerce infrastructure, and marketplace businesses. Endeit Fund III recorded its first close at €250 million in April 2021, then re-opened the fundraise to accommodate institutional demand, ultimately reaching a final close of €303 million in May 2022—a 21% upsizing driven by an anchor commitment from Germany's KfW Capital under the ERP/Zukunftsfonds-Wachstumsfazilität programme. The fund's structure as Endeit Fund III Coöperatief U.A. reflects Endeit's Dutch cooperative legal model, providing flow-through tax treatment favourable to Dutch and German investors and consistent with the firm's Benelux-Germany founding market.

Eoniq Mediterranean Seed Fund I FCRE S.A. is an early-stage venture capital fund registered with Spain's Comisión Nacional del Mercado de Valores (CNMV) and managed by Eoniq.fund, a Madrid and Seville-based venture capital manager. The fund targets pre-seed and seed-stage technology startups founded or led by Spanish entrepreneurs, with particular focus on founders operating outside the major hubs of Madrid and Barcelona, supporting emerging innovation ecosystems across Spain and the broader Mediterranean region. The FCRE S.A. legal structure is a Spanish closed-end venture capital vehicle authorized under European Alternative Investment Fund Manager regulations, providing institutional governance standards aligned with AIFMD requirements. Eoniq Mediterranean Seed Fund I pursues a generalist technology venture strategy at the earliest stages of company formation, investing in startups that demonstrate initial product-market fit through a minimum viable product and early traction metrics. The fund takes an active value-add approach, providing portfolio companies with access to the Eoniq network of experienced operators, domain advisors, and follow-on institutional investors to support internationalization and growth beyond the Iberian market. With approximately 50 portfolio companies invested from Fund I, the portfolio reflects a diversified early-stage approach spanning consumer technology, enterprise software, digital health, and marketplace business models. The Eoniq investment team brings a verifiable pre-fund track record of over 60 individual angel and pre-institutional investments prior to raising Fund I, with reported returns of 6.36x and an IRR exceeding 35%. This track record reflects demonstrated ability to identify and back exceptional founding teams at the earliest stages across Spain's emerging startup ecosystem. The CNMV registration and regulated fund structure attract co-investors and institutional limited partners seeking controlled-risk exposure to the Spanish and Mediterranean venture ecosystem through a supervised investment vehicle.

Episode 1 Fund III is the third flagship early-stage vehicle raised by Episode 1, the London-based venture capital firm specialising in pre-seed and seed investments into primarily UK-founded, B2B technology companies. Closing at £76 million ($95 million) in February 2024, the fund represents a significant step up from the firm's previous vehicles and marks Episode 1's most institutionalised raise to date, with British Patient Capital and the National Security Strategic Investment Fund (NSSIF) as cornerstone limited partners. The fund deploys check sizes of between £250,000 and £3 million per initial investment, targeting 10–15 new commitments per year, principally in companies at the pre-seed or seed stage. Episode 1's sectors of focus span artificial intelligence and machine learning, software infrastructure, techbio and life sciences, open-source tooling, healthtech, and marketplace businesses. While the fund prioritises UK-based founders, it considers early-stage companies with a strong UK presence from elsewhere in Europe or the United States. Approximately 25% of investments are sourced through proprietary data-driven tools that track founder trajectories and company signals. Since Episode 1's founding, the firm has backed over 69 portfolio companies and achieved notable exits including Fatmap (acquired by Strava), Passfort (acquired by Moody's Analytics), Feedr (acquired by Compass Group), Touch Surgery (acquired by Medtronic), and Atlas (acquired by Meta). Fund III's limited partner base includes institutional investors British Patient Capital, NSSIF, and Molten Ventures, as well as more than 21 founder-investors who were previously backed by Episode 1—a co-investment community that the firm has cultivated as a structural sourcing and value-creation advantage.

Escalate Capital V is a growth capital fund by Escalate Capital Partners. The fund is located in Austin, Texas and prefers investing in United Sates.

Essence VC Fund IV is the fourth dedicated fund vehicle managed by Essence Venture Capital, a Seattle-based venture capital firm founded in 2019 by Timothy Chen. The fund reached a final close of $41 million in September 2025, representing a 52% increase in fund size over the prior vintage — Essence VC Fund III, which closed at $27 million in 2023. Notably, Fund IV was raised entirely on the strength of Chen's track record and LP relationships, without a formal fundraising roadshow, pitch deck, or placement agent engagement — an unusually lean process reflecting deep trust from the firm's existing investor network. Essence VC employs a high-conviction early-stage strategy focused on deeply technical startups founded by first-time founders. The firm's investment thesis centers on pre-seed and seed-stage companies in the United States building foundational infrastructure for artificial intelligence, computing platforms, and developer tooling. Rather than backing incremental improvements to existing software stacks, Essence VC seeks companies redefining underlying architectures — typically small teams with deep technical expertise and early signs of organic developer adoption. Typical commitments are concentrated early-stage checks, with the firm selectively co-investing in follow-on rounds for its highest-conviction portfolio companies. Essence VC's portfolio includes some of the most widely recognized companies in AI infrastructure and developer tooling, including Modal (cloud compute for AI workloads), Ollama (local large language model runtime), Warp (AI-native terminal), and Apollo (graph query infrastructure). These portfolio companies have collectively attracted hundreds of millions of dollars in follow-on institutional capital from top-tier Silicon Valley venture firms. Fund IV's $41 million closing positions Essence VC to maintain its 15–20 company portfolio model while scaling check sizes as the firm enters its most mature fundraising cycle to date.

The fund reached a first close exceeding €1 billion in 2025, with international investors representing 60% of total commitments, and was seeded with two initial portfolio investments at close. Eurazeo, one of Europe's leading listed private equity firms with over €35 billion in assets under management, provides the Elevate team with institutional infrastructure, cross-platform co-investment capacity, and ESG resources. Eurazeo PME V targets high-quality, fast-growing lower mid-market technology and business services companies across Europe, with a particular focus on businesses generating €5 million to €30 million in EBITDA with strong recurring revenue profiles and identifiable international expansion opportunities. The fund pursues control-oriented buyout transactions, applying Eurazeo's operational expertise in digital transformation, buy-and-build strategies, and cross-border expansion to accelerate portfolio company growth. The Elevate team's sector concentrations in enterprise software, tech-enabled services, and professional services reflect their deep expertise in European lower mid-market deal flow. Building on the strong performance of PME I through PME IV, the Eurazeo PME series has established a track record of partnering with founder-led and family-owned businesses and supporting their transition to institutional ownership. Fund V opened with portfolio investments including OMMAX, a Munich-based data-driven marketing consultancy acquired in partnership with Singulier, and Nextron Systems, a European cybersecurity threat detection platform. With a target of 15 or more portfolio companies, PME V is positioned to capitalize on the continued fragmentation of the European lower mid-market technology and services sector.

Eurazeo Smart City Fund II is a dedicated venture capital fund managed by Eurazeo, the Paris-headquartered global investment group with over €39 billion in assets under management across private equity, growth, venture, real estate, infrastructure, and private debt strategies. The fund held its final and third close on 18 July 2023 at €400 million — one of Europe's largest dedicated smart city and climate technology funds of its vintage. It succeeds Eurazeo's first Smart City Fund, a 2016 vintage that generated five exits — Volta Charging, Bird, Forsee Power, Glovo, and Grab — demonstrating the strength of the thesis and anchoring LP confidence in the platform. The fund invests in high-growth technology companies building scalable solutions for sustainable cities. Target themes span renewable energy generation and distribution, advanced electric mobility, climate-smart manufacturing, sustainable logistics, and built environment technologies with verifiable carbon-reduction impact. Investment tickets range from €3 million to €40 million per company, with a target portfolio of 20–25 companies deployed over a four-year investment period. The fund's impact framework monitors carbon savings and removal through operational KPIs aligned with five-year environmental objectives, appealing to both financial and sustainability-focused limited partners. The fund's LP base of 23 institutional investors reflects exceptionally broad geographic and institutional diversity. Sovereign wealth funds and development finance institutions — the European Investment Fund (EIF), Bpifrance, PFR, FRC, and the Korean Venture Investment Corporation (KVIC) — anchor the capital base. Eighteen strategic corporations from Europe and Asia co-invest alongside them, including EDF, TotalEnergies, Stellantis, Hager Group, ZF, RATP, Mainova, SP Group, Banpu, and Jardine Pacific, providing both capital and unique market access for portfolio companies. A select group of family offices rounds out the LP roster.

The Evergreen Park Investment Fund is a co-investment private equity vehicle managed by Fisher Lynch Capital, a boutique firm specializing in collaborative investments. Launched in 2021, the fund was initially capitalized with $2 billion from the Washington State Investment Board (WSIB), its sole limited partner. Subsequent commitments of $1 billion in 2023 and $800 million in 2024 have brought total assets under management to $3.8 billion. The fund's strategy focuses on co-investing alongside existing private equity managers in which WSIB already holds positions. This approach allows for enhanced alignment with WSIB's broader investment portfolio and leverages established relationships to access high-quality deal flow. The fund targets buyout and growth equity opportunities, aiming to capitalize on the expertise of its partner managers. Fisher Lynch Capital, headquartered in San Mateo, California, brings a disciplined investment process and a track record of successful co-investments.

Expedition Growth Capital Fund III is the third fund raised by Expedition Growth Capital, a London-based software-specialist growth equity firm founded in 2020. The fund closed at $375 million in December 2025 in a first-and-final close completed in approximately four months, with the raise oversubscribed and more than half of commitments sourced from US investors including leading university endowments and foundations. The fund is domiciled in Jersey, Channel Islands, and managed by a team based in London. Expedition Growth Capital Fund III targets rapidly growing European and Israeli software companies that have built high-quality products and substantial customer bases without venture capital backing — a distinctive mandate focusing on profitable, founder-led businesses at the inflection point where institutional capital can accelerate international expansion, product development, or buy-and-build M&A. The fund invests primarily in B2B software segments including SaaS, vertical software, and enterprise technology, where Expedition has developed deep sector expertise through its prior funds. The strategy occupies a differentiated space between early-stage venture capital and large-cap buyout, targeting businesses that have outgrown bootstrap and angel stages but seek growth capital with institutional support rather than the dilution of traditional VC financing structures. Expedition Growth Capital established its franchise with two prior funds and built a portfolio of European software leaders applying its disciplined investment thesis. Fund III's oversubscribed raise in under four months signals strong LP confidence in the team's ability to source and create value in software-focused growth situations. The firm's US institutional investor base — comprising leading endowments and foundations — validates the quality of its investment approach and portfolio performance across prior vintages. Expedition's focus on capital-efficient, profitable software businesses positions the fund to generate returns uncorrelated with traditional VC risk profiles while accessing Europe's growing enterprise software market.

Expedition's second fund, Expedition Growth Capital II, closed at the hard cap of €250 million and saw commitments from global investors including university endowments, charitable foundations, fund of funds, software entrepreneurs, and family offices. The fund's target investments are in European software companies, and their strategy involves providing capital for growth and shareholder liquidity, as well as operational expertise to bootstrapped founders. Their first fund portfolio comprises 10 bootstrapped software companies that have more than doubled revenues in a capital efficient manner since Expedition’s initial investment, indicating their focus on companies with strong growth potential. Fund counsel for Expedition Growth Capital II were Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld and Carey Olsen. Expedition Growth Capital focuses on partnering with ambitious, rapidly growing European software companies that have achieved significant traction without external funding. They target minority growth investments, providing shareholder liquidity and growth capital to highly resilient, founder-led software companies. Their companies are typically on a path to category leadership with a use rather than a need for capital.

The Fondo de Co-inversión (FOCO), or Co-investment Fund FOCO, is a €2 billion public co-investment vehicle created by the Spanish government and managed by COFIDES (Compañía Española de Financiación del Desarrollo). The fund was established under Royal Decree Law approved on December 27, 2023 and officially launched in April 2024, mobilizing capital from the European Union's Next Generation EU instrument to catalyze private foreign investment into Spain's strategic sectors. FOCO's investment mandate focuses on equity and quasi-equity co-investments alongside foreign strategic partners, targeting transactions between €10 million and €150 million per operation. The fund operates exclusively as a minority investor, with total public capital capped at 49% of any given operation, and always co-invests with a foreign partner. COFIDES can deploy capital directly into companies or through financial vehicles and funds. Target sectors include renewable energy and energy efficiency, decarbonization, electric mobility, digitalization, sustainable infrastructure, biotechnology, and sustainable agriculture. FOCO is structured as a permanent revolving fund — all investment returns are reinvested to extend the fund's investment capacity over time. Among its initial approved investments, the fund committed capital to SWEN Capital Partners for a biomethane fund (€50 million) and Proeduca for education (€90 million), with a total initial portfolio of €220 million across three transactions approved in its first operational months.

FP Credit Partners II, L.P. is the second opportunistic credit fund managed by Francisco Partners, a leading technology-focused investment firm headquartered in San Francisco, California, with over $50 billion in total assets under management. The fund raised $2.23 billion from institutional investors and is now fully closed, structured as a Cayman Islands limited partnership. FP Credit Partners II represents the second vintage of Francisco Partners' credit investment program, building on the strategy established by the firm's inaugural credit vehicle. FP Credit Partners II employs an opportunistic credit approach focused on the technology and technology-enabled services sector, applying Francisco Partners' deep technical expertise and operational knowledge to credit underwriting and portfolio management. The fund invests across a range of instrument types including senior secured loans, mezzanine debt, structured equity, and convertible notes, addressing financing needs that are underserved by generalist credit investors who lack the sector expertise to accurately price technology-specific risks. Francisco Partners' ability to assess software revenue quality, competitive moat depth, technology stack defensibility, and market positioning provides a material underwriting advantage in identifying credit situations where risk is mispriced relative to potential recovery. FP Credit Partners II closed at $2.23 billion, demonstrating substantial institutional appetite for technology-focused credit strategies and validating Francisco Partners' approach to applying private equity sector expertise to credit investing. The fund is now closed and in the investing and harvesting phase, having deployed capital across a portfolio of technology and technology-enabled businesses globally. The success of FP Credit Partners II directly facilitated the launch of FP Credit Partners III at $3.3 billion — a 48% step-up reflecting strong LP confidence in the franchise. Francisco Partners' broader platform provides credit portfolio companies with access to operational resources, advisory networks, and potential equity paths unavailable through standard credit channels.

FP Credit Partners III, L.P. is the third opportunistic credit fund managed by Francisco Partners, a San Francisco-based technology-focused private equity and credit investment firm managing over $50 billion in assets. The fund closed at $3.3 billion in January 2025, representing a 48% step-up from its predecessor FP Credit Partners II ($2.23 billion) and reflecting growing institutional appetite for technology-focused credit strategies. Structured as a Cayman Islands limited partnership, FP Credit Partners III deploys capital globally across technology and technology-enabled business sectors through flexible credit instruments. FP Credit Partners III leverages Francisco Partners' deep sector expertise across its entire platform to invest in a broad range of credit structures — from traditional senior secured loans and mezzanine debt to flexible capital solutions including convertible notes, structured equity, and hybrid instruments. The fund's opportunistic mandate targets technology, software, and technology-enabled businesses where Francisco Partners' operating networks, sector knowledge, and technical expertise provide a differentiated edge in credit underwriting and portfolio monitoring. This includes complex situations such as stressed credits, growth capital, rescue financing, and sponsor-backed capital solutions where generalist credit providers lack the domain depth to accurately assess software-specific risk factors such as recurring revenue quality, churn dynamics, and competitive moat sustainability. FP Credit Partners III's $3.3 billion close reflects strong LP demand for Francisco Partners' credit franchise, which was established with the firm's inaugural credit vehicle and scaled through FP Credit Partners II. The fund builds on a track record of deploying flexible capital alongside the firm's flagship buyout strategies, giving the credit team proprietary deal flow, operational insight into borrowers, and deep relationships throughout the technology ecosystem. Francisco Partners manages assets across both equity and credit in the technology sector, providing credit portfolio companies with potential equity upgrade paths and operational support resources that are unavailable through traditional lending channels.

FPV Fund I, L.P. is a $457 million early-stage venture capital fund raised by FPV Ventures, a Jackson, Wyoming-based firm co-founded by Wesley Chan and Pegah Ebrahimi. The fund held its final close in June 2022, attracting commitments from 172 investors including foundations, universities, hospitals, and research organizations. FPV Ventures is recognized for backing 'missionaries, not mercenaries' — founders who build companies driven by deep mission conviction rather than short-term financial incentives. The fund's investment mandate spans seed and Series A rounds, with sector exposure concentrated in enterprise software, healthcare technology, biotechnology, financial technology, developer tools, and education technology. FPV Ventures brings an operator-first perspective: co-founder Wesley Chan previously launched Google Analytics at Google Ventures, while Pegah Ebrahimi served as Chief Operating Officer of Morgan Stanley's Technology Banking division, giving the team exceptional insight into both product development and capital markets. Notable portfolio companies backed through Fund I include Canva (design software, Australia), Flexport (supply chain logistics), and Guild Education (workforce learning platform). The strong portfolio performance validated the mission-driven investment thesis, and FPV has commenced fundraising for its successor, Fund II, with a Form D filing submitted to the SEC in February 2025.

Falfurrias Growth Partners I (FGP I) is the inaugural growth equity fund of Falfurrias Management Partners (FMP), the Charlotte, North Carolina-based lower middle-market private equity firm founded in 2006 by Hugh McColl, Marc Oken, and Ed McMahan. FGP I closed at its hard cap of $400 million in December 2023, oversubscribed and anchored by leading global pension plans, asset managers, insurance companies, endowments, foundations, family offices, and high-net-worth investors. The general partner committed $45 million alongside limited partners. The fund employs FMP's proprietary "Industry First" methodology — identifying transformational market themes before targeting specific companies — applied to a lower EBITDA band below FMP's traditional Falfurrias Capital Partners flagship series. FGP I targets software and technology-enabled businesses in business services, fintech, information services, data analytics, marketing services, and vertical software with $1–$7 million in EBITDA and $5 million or more in annual recurring revenue. Initial check sizes range from $20–$50 million per investment, structured as control buyouts or selective minority stakes. The investment committee is led by Cam Dyer and Michael Clifton, both former Carlyle Group Partners with over 20 years of technology investing experience. FGP I operates as a distinct vehicle from FMP's flagship Falfurrias Capital Partners (FCP) buyout series, which has deployed approximately $4 billion across seven core funds. Where FCP targets established lower middle-market businesses across sectors, FGP I concentrates exclusively on growth-stage software and technology-enabled services companies at a smaller enterprise scale, offering institutional investors differentiated access to the convergence of software and business services in the US lower middle market.

First Round Capital X is the tenth flagship venture fund of First Round, focused on early-stage technology, AI, fintech, consumer, web3, and adjacent sectors. It aims to back visionary founding teams with differentiated insight into market opportunities. The fund’s strategy is hands-on: investing at seed and Series A stages, embedding operational support, recruiting, product & go-to-market growth, and leveraging First Round’s network and resources to accelerate scaling. The target fund size is USD 500 million, reflecting significant ambition and fundraising momentum. First Round X builds on the firm’s deep prior experience and brand to source high-potential deals and back breakout outcomes. While the primary focus is U.S.-based startups, the fund remains open to globally distributed or cross-border teams that align with its sector themes and market potential. The objective is differentiated returns via early-stage exposure backed by strong support and conviction.

Fitz Gate Ventures Fund I is the debut vehicle of Fitz Gate Ventures, an early-stage venture capital firm co-founded in 2015 by Jim Cohen and Mark Poag and headquartered in Houston, Texas. The fund was established in 2017 with a final close of approximately $10 million and was anchored by the firm's deep ties to Princeton University, where both general partners teach venture capital investing at the Princeton University Graduate School. Fund I pioneered the firm's network-driven investment model that has since been replicated across its subsequent vehicles. Fund I deployed capital at the pre-seed, seed, and Series A stages, writing initial checks of approximately $500,000 with reserves for follow-on investments, targeting early-stage technology companies primarily from the Princeton University ecosystem — including alumni-, faculty-, and student-founded startups. The fund pursued a generalist strategy across software, fintech, healthcare, energy, and deep tech, investing exclusively in U.S.-based companies. A defining feature of the strategy is the proprietary 'Friends of Fitz' advisor network comprising hundreds of founders, venture capitalists, academics, and senior executives who support portfolio companies with deal flow, diligence, introductions, and commercial partnerships. Fitz Gate Ventures Fund I has produced at least one unicorn, consistent with the firm's stated track record. Early portfolio investments included Quantum Circuits, Inc. (subsequently acquired by D-Wave Quantum for $550 million), Optimal Dynamics, Visor, Predata, and Pledge, among approximately 15-21 portfolio companies. The fund's performance underpinned the firm's ability to raise a $25 million Fund II in May 2020 and a third fund in December 2025, bringing total firm AUM to approximately $70 million. Fund III broadened scope beyond Princeton to a national generalist strategy with Rice University as an anchor LP.

Fitz Gate Ventures Fund III is the third venture capital fund of Houston-based Fitz Gate Ventures, co-founded by Jim Cohen and Mark Poag, who bring combined backgrounds from investment banking, corporate law, private equity, and software entrepreneurship. The fund completed its close in December 2025, with Rice University's Office of Innovation serving as anchor limited partner — deepening the firm's institutional relationship with one of its home universities and validating its university technology transfer thesis. Building on the deep-tech investment strategy refined across Funds I and II, Fund III concentrates on seed-stage hard tech and deep tech companies commercialising intellectual property from elite US research universities, including Princeton, Yale, UCLA, UC Berkeley, Virginia Tech, Baylor College of Medicine, and Vanderbilt University. The fund targets initial check sizes of $500,000 to $1 million with reserves for follow-on participation. Priority sectors include semiconductors and photonics, metamaterials, quantum computing, and other university-derived technologies with high barriers to replication. Fitz Gate deploys capital as lead investor, co-investor, or independent backer depending on deal structure. Fitz Gate's prior funds each produced one unicorn exit: Fund I's seed investment in Quantum Circuits, Inc. led to a $550 million acquisition by D-Wave Systems (QBTS). Fund II's seed investment in Celestial AI — a photonic fabric startup — resulted in a sale to Marvell Technology (MRVL) for up to $5.5 billion, announced in December 2025. These back-to-back unicorn exits underpin Fund III's thesis that the convergence of university IP and patient seed capital can produce outsized returns from deep science.

Five Arrows Secondary Opportunities V (FASO V) is the fifth dedicated secondary opportunities fund managed by Five Arrows, the merchant banking division of Rothschild & Co. Launched in 2019 and completing its final close in January 2020 at €1.0 billion — materially above its initial target of €700 million — FASO V stands as one of the European mid-market's leading vehicles for GP-led secondary transactions at the time of its close. The fund pursues a focused strategy targeting GP-led secondaries, single-asset continuation vehicles, fund restructurings, and spin-offs, with a primary concentration in the European mid-market and additional capacity for North American opportunities. Five Arrows sources transactions in healthcare, technology, software & IT, and business services sectors, where structural tailwinds support resilient growth and predictable cash flows. Typical equity ticket sizes range from €10 million to €100 million per transaction, with LP co-investment capacity available for larger commitments. FASO V attracted commitments from a globally diversified base of institutional investors, corporations, international family offices, and entrepreneurs, alongside meaningful internal commitments from Rothschild & Co partners and senior investment professionals — underscoring strong management team alignment. The fund's success paved the way for FASO VI, which closed at €2 billion in April 2025, double the size of FASO V, confirming Five Arrows' position as one of Europe's premier GP-led secondaries managers with nearly two decades of deal-sourcing relationships across Paris, London, and New York.

Five Arrows Secondary Opportunities VI (FASO VI) is Five Arrows' sixth secondaries fund with €2 billion size. This achievement surpasses its original target of €1.5 billion and doubles the size of its predecessor, FASO V. The fund focuses on mid-market GP-led secondary transactions, emphasizing companies in the healthcare, business services, software, and IT sectors across Europe and North America. FASO VI is part of the Five Arrows Multi-Strategies platform (FAMS), which manages over €28 billion in assets across various strategies, including corporate private equity, primary and secondary fund investing, co-investments, and senior and junior credit. The fund received strong support from a globally diversified group of investors, including pension funds, insurance companies, corporations, family offices, and entrepreneurs. Notably, Rothschild & Co Group, along with its staff and investment team, made a substantial commitment to the vehicle. The fund's investment strategy is designed to capitalize on the growing GP-led secondaries market, which expanded to over $71 billion in 2024 from $29 billion in 2019. With a team that has worked together for over two decades, Five Arrows leverages its extensive experience to identify and execute transactions that offer attractive risk-adjusted returns. FASO VI aims to provide liquidity solutions to general partners and limited partners, facilitating the continuation and growth of high-quality assets.

Five Elms VI is the sixth and largest fund raised by Five Elms Capital, a Kansas City, Missouri-based growth equity firm partnering exclusively with high-growth, founder-led software companies. The fund completed its final close in October 2024 at $1.1 billion — the largest fund in the firm's 18-year history — bringing Five Elms' total assets under management above $3 billion. The oversubscribed offering drew strong participation from existing and new limited partners, meaningfully expanding Five Elms' global investor base. Five Elms VI employs a global growth equity strategy targeting software businesses with proven business models, differentiated products, and strong customer loyalty positioned for meaningful scale. The firm focuses on companies at growth inflection points requiring expanded leadership teams, scalable operations, and enhanced product capabilities to reach category-defining status. Five Elms' 80-person platform includes 17 in-house operators with expertise in executive recruiting, go-to-market, finance, customer success, product development, and AI enablement, providing hands-on support beyond capital. As of the fund's close, Five Elms VI had already deployed into four platform investments: Magma Math (AI-enabled digital learning), RoomPriceGenie (hotel revenue management), Pathify (higher education student experience), and Motivity (behavioral health practice management). Founded in 2006, Five Elms Capital has backed more than 70 software companies globally. Evercore Private Funds Group served as placement agent and Foley & Lardner LLP as fund formation counsel.

Flashpoint Direct Secondary Fund II is the second vehicle of Flashpoint's dedicated Direct Secondary strategy and the firm's eighth fund overall, launched in early 2026 with a target size of US$75–100 million. Managed by Flashpoint Direct Secondary, the specialist secondary arm of London-based technology investment firm Flashpoint, the fund addresses growing demand for liquidity solutions within the maturing European and Israeli technology ecosystem. The fund provides secondary liquidity to early investors, employees, and founders in established, high-growth technology businesses—predominantly those originating from Europe and Israel—without requiring a full company sale or IPO, enabling sellers to monetize long-held positions while Flashpoint gains exposure to mature, revenue-generating businesses. The fund focuses exclusively on direct secondary transactions: purchasing equity stakes directly from shareholders of individual portfolio companies rather than acquiring LP interests in other funds. Target companies typically generate $20 million or more in annual recurring revenue, have achieved market leadership in their respective technology verticals, and are at a stage where traditional primary VC financing is no longer the dominant capital need. The fund is led by General Partner Michael Szalontay and Partner Lukas Harustiak, specialists in the European and Israeli secondary market. Its first close in January 2026 was supported by twenty limited partners, including international family offices and high-net-worth individuals, many of whom were returning investors from the predecessor Flashpoint Secondary Fund I. The predecessor Flashpoint Secondary Fund I, launched in 2021 and anchored by the Scheinberg family office, validated the direct secondary thesis by completing ten investments in the European and Israeli tech ecosystem, including Preply (which achieved unicorn status in late 2025), Printify (unicorn late 2024), Chess.com, Travelier, AirHelp, K2View, and Booksy. The strong performance trajectory of these portfolio companies established Flashpoint Direct Secondary Fund II's position as the natural successor, with a modestly increased target reflecting both the maturation of the direct secondary market and the fund's well-established track record attracting significant repeat investor commitment.

Flashpoint Secondary Fund I is the inaugural vehicle of Flashpoint's Direct Secondary strategy, launched in 2021 as a Jersey Private Fund by the London-headquartered technology investment firm Flashpoint. The fund was designed to provide secondary liquidity to early investors, employees, and founders in established technology companies founded by teams originating from Europe and the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, at a stage where traditional VC exit pathways—IPOs or strategic sales—remained years away. Anchored by the Scheinberg family office, the fund pioneered a specialist niche of direct secondary transactions within the European-Israeli tech ecosystem, establishing Flashpoint as one of the first institutional firms to build a dedicated direct secondary strategy for this geographic and sector focus. Unlike traditional LP-interest secondary funds, Flashpoint Secondary Fund I focused exclusively on purchasing equity directly from individual shareholders of portfolio companies rather than acquiring interests in other funds—enabling precise selection of specific high-quality businesses with proven revenue traction and market leadership. Target companies had $20 million or more in annual recurring revenue, were backed by institutional venture investors, and operated primarily in B2B software, edtech, marketplace, and technology-enabled services sectors. The fund's approach allowed early shareholders to monetize long-held equity positions without forcing a full company sale, while positioning Flashpoint as a supportive long-term partner aligned with continued growth. Flashpoint Secondary Fund I completed ten investments across its deployment period, building a concentrated portfolio of European and Israeli technology leaders including Preply (which achieved unicorn status in late 2025), Printify (which reached unicorn valuation in late 2024), Chess.com, Travelier, AirHelp, K2View, and Booksy. The strong performance trajectory of these portfolio companies—including multiple unicorn achievements within the fund's holding period—validated the direct secondary thesis and established the foundation for the successor Flashpoint Direct Secondary Fund II, launched in early 2026 with a US$75–100 million target and a first close from twenty limited partners including many returning investors.

Flashpoint Venture Growth Fund IV is the fourth flagship venture capital fund raised by Flashpoint (formerly Flashpoint Venture Capital), an international technology investment manager headquartered in London with additional offices in New York, Tel Aviv, and Riga. Founded in 2012, Flashpoint manages approximately $600 million in AUM across eight funds spanning three strategies: Venture Growth, Growth Debt, and Direct Secondary. Fund IV was launched in Q4 2024 and, as of a November 2024 SEC Form D filing, had raised $46.65 million from 30 investors against a stated total offering amount of $200 million. Fund IV concentrates on Series A and growth-stage B2B software companies founded by Israeli and Eastern European entrepreneurs, with a global commercial footprint primarily targeting the United States and Western European markets. Preferred sectors include AI, fintech, cybersecurity, enterprise software, EdTech, insurtech, and eCommerce. The fund's investment criteria require companies to have $1M-$5M in ARR and demonstrate 2x or greater year-over-year growth. Initial check sizes range from approximately $1M to $10M, with follow-on capacity up to $30M, targeting a 5%+ ownership stake and typical hold periods of 6-10 years. Flashpoint's venture growth track record spans three prior funds. Fund II reached approximately $57M. Fund III closed at $102M in August 2022 — the firm's first close with an institutional LP — and included investments in Guesty, Preply, Printify, OfficeRnD, K2View, Chess.com, and Clausematch. The firm has recorded 28 exits with over $250M distributed to LPs. Fund IV's known early portfolio includes DeepKeep (AI security), Rep AI (eCommerce AI), Qase (software testing), Numica, Kaiko Systems, and Vidext, with five investments made as of July 2025.

Fonds Impulsion is a CAD $200 million venture capital fund managed by Investissement Québec, a Quebec provincial government-owned investment institution headquartered in Montreal. Launched in October 2025, the fund consolidates capital from the former Impulsion PME program—suspended on 12 November 2024—into a dedicated pre-seed and seed investment vehicle. At launch the fund comprised approximately CAD $65 million already deployed in Impulsion PME portfolio companies and approximately CAD $135 million available for new investments. An additional CAD $50 million from the SQRI2 2022-2027 envelope announced in Quebec's 2025-2026 Budget Plan contributed to the total capitalization. Fonds Impulsion invests in innovative Quebec-based technology companies at the pre-seed and seed stages. Investissement Québec typically commits between CAD $250,000 and CAD $2 million per company in exchange for equity stakes of 5% to 20% of capital. Over a planned four-year deployment horizon, the fund targets support for approximately 60 young technology companies distributed across the province of Quebec. Eligible companies benefit not only from capital but from operational guidance, as incubators, accelerators, and industrial research sector groupings assist Investissement Québec in evaluating candidates and ensuring alignment with specialized support organizations and value-added co-investors. The fund continues the mission of the Impulsion PME program, which supported more than 60 early-stage technology companies across Quebec during its operational period. Fonds Impulsion represents Investissement Québec's flagship early-stage technology investment initiative, reinforcing the province's commitment to nurturing a deep ecosystem of innovative startups with high growth potential.

FORWARD.one Fund III is a €200 million industrial technology venture fund aiming to back Europe’s next generation of breakthrough hardware and deeptech companies.

Its value proposition is rooted in bridging the “deeptech gap” by combining technical domain expertise, rapid execution, and industry networks to help founders transform advanced research into scalable products for real markets. The fund also builds on FORWARD.one’s performance track record: Fund I (launched ~2018) delivered a net IRR of ~41 % and 2× DPI, with exits such as Sensorfact (acquired by ABB) and Mayht (acquired by Sonos).

GTCR Capital Solutions Fund is the inaugural fund under GTCR's new capital solutions strategy, launched in 2024. The fund focuses on providing minority structured equity and debt investments to mid-market companies, offering flexible financing solutions tailored to each company's specific needs. This strategy formalizes GTCR's approach to minority investments, allowing the firm to offer bespoke capital structures that can include convertible debt, preferred equity, and other hybrid instruments. The fund targets companies across various sectors, including business services, technology, media and telecommunications (TMT), financial services, and healthcare. With a target size of $1.5 billion, the fund has attracted commitments from institutional investors such as the Washington State Investment Board, which approved a $100 million investment in November 2024. The fund is domiciled in Delaware and managed from GTCR's headquarters in Chicago.

Gemspring Growth Solutions II is the second non‑control / growth capital fund under the “Growth Solutions” banner, positioned to back middle‑market companies with scalable growth trajectories. The fund provides flexible, minority or structured equity investments as a partner to management teams, rather than seeking full control. Its purpose is to leverage Gemspring’s operational capabilities, strategic oversight, and networks to accelerate growth, margin expansion, and value creation in portfolio companies. GGS II is oriented toward businesses that already exhibit strong fundamentals and growth potential, but require additional capital, strategic resources, and operational insight to scale more aggressively. By adopting a flexible capital approach, the fund can structure its investments in the form of growth equity, preferred equity, recapitalizations, or structured instruments that align incentives with existing shareholders. Over time, the fund may also support add‑on acquisitions or strategic inorganic growth to enhance scale and market leadership. Gemspring is likely to target sectors consistent with its existing “Growth Solutions” and broader firm strategy: software, tech‑enabled services, industrial services, business services, specialty manufacturing, healthcare services, and adjacent segments. The fund can capitalize on opportunities that lie in both technology‑driven growth areas and more traditional industrial or services domains, especially where transformation or scaling is needed. Given its predecessor track record and the firm’s reputation, GGS II may attract high‑quality sponsors, founders, or management teams looking for a growth partner rather than a full take‑private transaction. Its non‑control posture allows for more flexible deal structures, enabling participation in opportunities that are less conducive to traditional buyouts, and broadening the investible universe for Gemspring.

General Catalyst's Customer Value Fund (CVF) is a $604 million venture capital vehicle that extends the firm's investment strategy into non-dilutive growth capital, offering post-product-market-fit technology companies an alternative to traditional equity rounds. Established by General Catalyst—one of the leading venture capital firms in the United States with a long track record backing transformative technology companies including Airbnb, Snap, and Stripe—the CVF targets high-growth companies that have demonstrated repeatable customer acquisition metrics and seek to scale aggressively without additional equity dilution. The CVF operates under a distinctive financing model: it funds sales and marketing activities for technology companies that have achieved product-market fit, with repayment structured to track revenue generated from the funded customer acquisition activities, subject to a capped return to General Catalyst. This approach positions the CVF at the intersection of venture capital and revenue-based finance, targeting growth-stage and late-stage companies with strong unit economics and proven go-to-market playbooks. Portfolio companies range across sectors including fintech, remittance platforms, and enterprise software. California Public Employees' Retirement System (CalPERS) is among the fund's four institutional limited partners, reflecting pension-grade confidence in the strategy's risk-adjusted return profile. General Catalyst subsequently launched a successor vehicle, GC Customer Value Fund II, further validating institutional appetite for this capital structure. The fund remains active and continues to build its portfolio, offering founders flexible, non-dilutive capital precisely calibrated to accelerate customer acquisition at scale.

General Catalyst’s Customer Value Fund (CVF) is an innovative financing vehicle designed to provide non-dilutive capital to technology companies aiming to scale their customer acquisition efforts. Unlike traditional equity or debt financing, CVF structures its investments to align repayment with the revenue generated from the funded sales and marketing activities, offering a capped return to General Catalyst. This approach allows companies to preserve equity while accelerating growth. The fund targets companies that have achieved product-market fit and possess predictable customer acquisition metrics. By treating sales and marketing expenditures as assets, CVF enables businesses to invest in growth without the typical risks associated with fixed debt repayments or equity dilution. General Catalyst assumes the downside risk, receiving returns only if the company's customer acquisition efforts succeed. CVF has been instrumental in supporting companies like Grammarly and Finom. Grammarly secured a $1 billion investment to expand its AI-driven productivity platform, while Finom received €92.3 million to accelerate its European expansion. These investments exemplify CVF's commitment to fueling growth in companies with strong unit economics and scalable customer acquisition strategies.

The Geodesic Alliance Fund is a venture capital fund managed by Geodesic Capital, a San Francisco-based cross-border investment firm founded by former U.S. Ambassador to Japan John Roos.

The fund targets startups building across artificial intelligence, space systems, cybersecurity, autonomy, and other deep technology sectors where commercial innovation intersects with national security. Portfolio companies receive not only capital but also strategic guidance, regulatory navigation support, and introductions to customers, partners, and talent within Japan's industrial and government ecosystem. The fund is led by Tom Gillespie, former Managing Partner at In-Q-Tel, the U.S. intelligence community's venture arm, alongside Rayfe Gaspar-Asaoka, a deep tech investor and former partner at Canaan Partners. Limited partners include prominent Japanese corporations and Japanese governmental institutions such as the Japan Bank for International Cooperation (JBIC) and NEC Corporation, reinforcing the fund's strategic alignment with Japan's economic security objectives. The Geodesic Alliance Fund builds on Geodesic Capital's prior funds which have backed companies including Databricks, Netskope, Saronic, and Scale AI in expanding into the Japanese market.

The George Shultz Innovation Fund is a seed-stage venture investment program managed by the Polsky Center for Entrepreneurship and Innovation at the University of Chicago. Named in honor of George Pratt Shultz (1920–2021), U.S. Secretary of State and University of Chicago alumnus, the Fund embodies his conviction that scientific knowledge and entrepreneurial initiative are the twin engines of lasting societal progress. The Fund provides equity investments of up to $250,000 to early-stage technology ventures emerging from the University of Chicago, Argonne National Laboratory, Fermilab, and the Marine Biological Laboratory. Its investment mandate spans deep technology, life sciences, healthcare, and applied sciences, with a particular emphasis on helping academic scientists and engineers make the transition from laboratory research to scalable commercial enterprise. The Fund operates within the UChicago innovation ecosystem, complementing other Polsky Center programs including the New Venture Challenge and the Innovation Fund Associates Program. Since its inception, the George Shultz Innovation Fund has backed more than 90 companies. Notable exits include ExplORer Surgical, acquired by Global Healthcare Exchange, and Super.Tech, acquired by ColdQuanta. Active portfolio companies include OrisDx (2022 New Venture Challenge winner), Flow Medical (which went on to secure $5 million in seed funding), and Alnair Therapeutics (which closed an oversubscribed $1+ million pre-seed round). CavilinQ, a quantum computing company developing neutral-atom interconnect architectures, also received Innovation Fund support before raising an $8.8 million seed round from institutional investors including QVT, Safar Partners, and MFV Partners.

Georgian Alignment Fund II is a special-purpose growth equity continuation vehicle managed by Georgian, a Toronto-based alternative asset manager with US$5.9 billion in assets under management across its fund family. Launched in late 2021 with a US$1 billion fundraising target, the fund operates as a concentrated follow-on strategy that re-invests alongside Georgian's own existing portfolio companies rather than seeking new commitments in the open market. This structure reflects Georgian's conviction that the highest-value capital deployment occurs when both the investor and the portfolio company already share a deep working relationship, eliminating the typical friction and alignment uncertainty associated with first-time manager-company introductions and new fundraising processes. The fund's investment strategy targets between six and eight software companies — selected exclusively from the roster of Georgian's earlier flagship growth funds — that have demonstrated established market demand, strong growth trajectories, and a credible path to profitability. Sectors of focus include enterprise software, artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, industrial automation, and social engagement platforms, all consistent with Georgian's long-standing thesis around information-intensive technology businesses. Known portfolio investments include Devo (cybersecurity analytics), True Fit (AI-driven retail personalization for fashion), and Tractable (AI applied to insurance and automotive damage assessment). PitchBook records a total of 16 investments associated with the fund. Georgian Alignment Fund I, the fund's predecessor vehicle, closed at US$1.02 billion in March 2021, backing Top Hat, Tealium, WorkFusion, and IEX Group among others. Fund II launched shortly afterward and by October 2022 had secured approximately US$466 million — roughly 47% of its target — according to SEC Form D filings. In January 2023, BMO Global Asset Management launched a dedicated feeder vehicle, the BMO Georgian Alignment II Access Fund LP, providing Canadian accredited investors access to the strategy at a minimum commitment of US$50,000. No formal final close announcement was found in public sources as of the research date, consistent with Georgian's practice of quiet closes across its fund family.

Giant Ventures Seed Fund is a $100 million early-stage venture capital fund launched by Giant Ventures in January 2024 to back the next generation of purpose-driven technology companies across the United Kingdom, the United States, and the Nordic countries. The fund forms one half of Giant Ventures' simultaneous 2024 fundraise—alongside the $150 million Climate-focused Growth Fund—representing a combined $250 million transatlantic commitment to impactful technology investing. The Seed Fund targets approximately 25 early-stage companies operating across Giant Ventures' three core themes: climate technology, health innovation, and inclusive capitalism. With seed-stage ticket sizes, the fund provides capital and operational support through Giant Ventures' offices in London, California, New York, Stockholm, and Copenhagen. The LP base includes BMW, Henkel, RIT Capital Partners, Denmark's sovereign investment fund (IFU), The Nature Conservancy, Sir Richard Branson, and co-founders of Booking.com, Unity, and SoFi. Portfolio companies backed through Giant Ventures' strategy include Agreena (carbon credit and regenerative farming), Meadow (education fintech), Baton (small business marketplace), Doccla (virtual hospital ward), and Haven (battery storage marketplace). The fund reflects Giant Ventures' belief that purpose-driven technology—investing at the intersection of climate, health, and inclusive capitalism—can generate top-quartile financial returns alongside meaningful societal impact.

Gilgamesh Ventures, a New York-based venture capital firm specializing in early-stage fintech investments across the Americas, has successfully closed its second fund, Gilgamesh Fintech Ventures II, at $20 million. This new fund increases the firm's total assets under management to $35 million. Founded in 2021 by Miguel Armaza and Andrew Endicott, Gilgamesh Ventures focuses on backing fintech startups that accelerate the pace of commerce. With Fund II, the firm plans to invest in companies that leverage AI-native approaches to scale efficiently, reflecting a commitment to innovation in financial services. The fund's limited partners include institutional investors such as Foundation Capital, GBM Ventures, and Encore Bank, as well as fintech founders like Renaud Laplanche (Upgrade, Lending Club) and Dan Henry (Green Dot, NetSpend). Notably, all institutional investors from Fund I returned with equal or larger commitments for Fund II. Gilgamesh Ventures has invested in 44 startups across 10 global markets since its inception, with a significant presence in Latin America, including investments in companies like Nexu, Xepelin, and Cayena.

Glasswing Ventures III is a $200 million venture capital fund raised by Boston-based Glasswing Ventures to back pre-seed and seed-stage companies in artificial intelligence, enterprise security, and frontier technology. The fund reached its final close on November 10, 2025, significantly oversubscribed and representing the largest fund in Glasswing Ventures' history since the firm's founding in 2018 by Managing Partners Rudina Seseri and Rick Grinnell. The investment thesis centers on backing founders building AI-native companies that transform enterprise B2B markets and redefine cybersecurity infrastructure. Glasswing has identified six priority technology areas for Fund III: vertical AI, physical AI, AI-adaptive infrastructure, intelligent enterprise defense, collaborative intelligence platforms, and next-generation compute. The fund targets approximately 25 startup companies over its investment period, with Glasswing serving as the first institutional investor—as it has done in over 90 percent of its prior 70 investments. The 14-person investment team is supported by a 62-member advisory council of technical and industry operators. Glasswing Ventures' track record spans 70 investments since 2018, with portfolio companies collectively raising more than $650 million in follow-on capital. The firm has consistently led pre-seed and seed rounds in enterprise AI and cybersecurity, including companies that have reached Series B and beyond. Fund III builds on two prior funds with a deepened focus on AI-native architecture at the enterprise layer, positioning Glasswing as one of the defining early-stage investors in the enterprise AI and intelligent security market.

Glasswing Ventures Fund‑III is a venture capital vehicle targeting pre‑seed and seed‑stage investments in startups that are truly “AI‑native” and working at the frontier of enterprise software, cybersecurity and next‑gen computing. The fund closed at over $200‑million in commitments, significantly oversubscribed, reflecting strong investor confidence in the firm’s prior track record. The fund builds on Glasswing’s prior funds and history of investing in early stage (pre‑seed/seed) companies, often as lead or first institutional investor in enterprise B2B or security‑related technology. In doing so, the firm emphasises founders developing architectures, platforms and systems that embed AI or frontier tech rather than just “adding AI” as an after‑thought. In terms of value‑add, Glasswing deploys a 14‑person team of operators and builders, plus an advisory council of 62 members, to help portfolio companies with scaling, customer introductions and domain expertise. Fund‑III will invest in about 25 companies over its investment period. The thematic focus is very clearly laid out: the fund will invest in vertical AI (industry‑specific AI platforms), physical AI (autonomous systems in the real world), adaptive AI infrastructure, intelligent enterprise defense (cybersecurity) and next‑gen compute (distributed, quantum, massive scale infrastructure).

Golding Buyout 2021 is the fourth-generation flagship buyout fund-of-funds from Golding Capital Partners, a Munich-based independent alternative investment manager with approximately €2.7 billion in buyout-segment assets under management. The fund reached its final close at €250 million on September 26, 2024, following a 2021 vintage launch, and targets net returns of 12 to 14 percent per annum for its investor base of foundations, savings banks, and family offices across Germany and international markets. The fund follows a diversified multi-manager approach, combining primary fund commitments, secondary transactions, and co-investments in small and mid-cap companies across Europe and the United States. Portfolio construction targets 300 or more individual underlying investments, with sector focus on technology, healthcare, and B2B services—defensive growth sectors historically insulated from cyclical volatility. The fund is classified as Article 8 under the EU Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR), reflecting Golding's systematic integration of ESG criteria across its investment process. Golding Capital Partners' broader buyout franchise has delivered consistent net returns exceeding 14 percent historically, ranking the manager in the top quartile of Buyout Fund-of-Funds performance globally. Golding Buyout 2021 attracted both existing institutional investors and a cohort of new LP relationships formed at final close, underscoring the manager's growing institutional footprint in the European alternative investment market and its reputation as a trusted allocator to the global buyout ecosystem.

Golding Buyout Co-Investment 2020 is a dedicated co-investment vehicle managed by Golding Capital Partners, targeting direct equity participations alongside leading buyout general partners in small and mid-cap companies across Europe and North America. The fund completed its final close in the fourth quarter of 2022, significantly oversubscribed at €273 million against an original target of €200 million, demonstrating strong institutional demand for Golding's co-investment capabilities and sponsor network. The fund's strategy focuses on companies with proven business models in defensive sectors—principally technology, software, and healthcare—with conservative leverage profiles consistent with established European mid-market buyout discipline. Unlike Golding's flagship fund-of-funds vehicles, this co-investment fund takes direct stakes in individual portfolio companies alongside lead buyout sponsors, enabling more concentrated exposure and enhanced return potential without additional management fee and carry layers. Since launch in 2020, the fund completed 18 transactions by the time of final close, deploying capital across established European and North American businesses. Investors in Golding Buyout Co-Investment 2020 include pension funds and insurance companies, who provided the majority of the fund's capital. Golding Capital Partners' broader co-investment program had completed more than 40 individual transactions with total transaction volume exceeding €320 million across its history, establishing the manager as a recognized institutional co-investment partner in the European mid-market buyout landscape. A successful exit in the co-investment strategy was announced by Golding, validating the fund's performance and the manager's execution capabilities in this segment.

Golding Buyout Co-Investment 2023 is the third-generation dedicated co-investment vehicle of Golding Capital Partners, targeting direct equity participations alongside leading buyout general partners in small and mid-cap companies across Europe and the United States. The fund held its first close at approximately €101 million in 2023, with an overall target size of €350 million and a net internal rate of return target of 16 to 18 percent per annum, positioning it as Golding's most ambitious co-investment vehicle to date. Building directly on the success of its predecessor fund Golding Buyout Co-Investment 2020—which closed oversubscribed at €273 million and delivered a successful exit within its investment period—the 2023 vintage applies the same discipline of direct equity co-investments alongside best-in-class buyout general partners. As of the first close, the fund had already connected five portfolio companies showing promising early development trajectories, reflecting Golding's established deal pipeline and sponsor relationships built across two decades of European and North American buyout investing. The LP base includes insurance companies, pension schemes, pension funds, and family offices. Golding Capital Partners manages approximately €2.7 billion in buyout-segment assets under management and has deployed over €320 million across more than 40 co-investment transactions historically, providing the 2023 fund with a well-established sponsor network and proprietary deal origination. The fund continues to raise capital toward its €350 million target, supported by sustained institutional demand driven by Golding's top-quartile track record in the European and North American mid-market buyout co-investment space.

Goldman Sachs Alternatives launched the open-ended European Private Credit Strategy (GSEC) in early 2024, targeting resilient European mid-sized businesses through senior secured lending. As of mid-2025, the fund has raised over €6 billion in assets under management, becoming one of the largest open-ended private credit strategies in Europe. The fund invests primarily in directly originated, senior secured loans to high-quality, sponsor-backed companies. These companies are typically cash-flow generative and operate in sectors with low cyclicality. GSEC’s flexible evergreen structure allows it to serve institutional and wealth investors seeking access to private credit with periodic liquidity. Over 75% of GSEC’s portfolio is allocated to first-lien senior loans in recession-resilient sectors such as healthcare, software, and essential business services. Goldman Sachs employs a disciplined underwriting process and conservative leverage metrics to ensure capital preservation and income stability. The strategy benefits from Goldman Sachs’ scale, sourcing network, and due diligence capabilities. GSEC integrates ESG analysis, sectoral diversification, and active portfolio monitoring to deliver long-term, risk-adjusted returns for its global investor base.

Gradient Ventures Fund V is the fifth flagship fund raised by Gradient Ventures, a Google-backed venture firm founded in 2017 as one of the first investment vehicles dedicated exclusively to artificial intelligence. The $220 million fund closed in March 2026, bringing Gradient's total assets under management to nearly $1.2 billion across five discrete funds. Alea Capital led the institutional LP syndicate for Fund V, with Reflex Capital, Smartlink, and J&T Ventures participating alongside Google, which remains a continuing investor in the fund. Gradient's investment strategy centres on pre-seed and seed stage companies building across three verticals: AI applications, agentic platforms, and real-world systems that leverage AI as a core capability. The firm deliberately avoids funding foundational model companies and exercises caution around mega-seed rounds above $100 million, preferring to support emerging AI founders at their earliest inflection points. Gradient employs twelve investment professionals and has backed more than 500 AI founders across its fund history. Portfolio highlights include CentML (acquired by NVIDIA), Krea, Lambda, Range, Streamlit (acquired by Snowflake), and Writer. With Fund V, Gradient continues to leverage its unique position within the Google ecosystem to provide portfolio companies with access to Google's AI research, cloud infrastructure, and commercial networks.

Granite Integral Investments is a joint venture investment fund established in March 2025 through a strategic partnership between Granite Asia, a multi-asset investment platform with deep connectivity across Asia's technology and private equity ecosystems, and Integral Corporation (TSE: 5842), Japan's publicly listed private equity firm. Integral participates through Integral GlobalTech Partners Corporation, its dedicated technology growth investment arm. The fund launched with USD 100 million in initial committed capital, contributed equally by both partners, targeting high-growth technology companies with a Japan market nexus. The fund's investment strategy is built around facilitating two-way cross-border technology growth between Japan and global markets. On the inbound side, Granite Integral Investments provides capital and market-entry support to high-growth global technology companies seeking to enter, localize, and scale within Japan — one of the world's largest and most sophisticated enterprise markets. On the outbound side, the fund backs Japanese companies aiming to expand internationally into Southeast Asia and other high-growth markets, drawing on Integral Corporation's renowned operational value creation capabilities and Granite Asia's global ecosystem connectivity. Target sectors include enterprise software, automation, and advanced technology companies at the growth and expansion stage. The fund is co-headed by CK Choun, Head of Integral GlobalTech Partners Corporation, and Joe Yan, Operating Partner at Granite Asia, with strategic oversight from Jixun Foo, Senior Managing Partner of Granite Asia, and Reijiro Yamamoto, Founding Partner and Representative Director of Integral Corporation. The structure reflects both partners' conviction that Japan's integration with global technology markets represents one of the most significant underexplored opportunities in private markets, and seeks to be the bridge capital vehicle connecting world-class companies with Japan's institutional buyers and distribution networks.

Granola Index Ventures is a dedicated investment vehicle established by Index Ventures to lead the $125 million Series C funding round in Granola, a London-based AI meeting intelligence company. Announced in March 2026, the round valued Granola at $1.5 billion, marking the company's ascent to unicorn status less than three years after its founding. This investment vehicle reflects Index Ventures' conviction in the long-term potential of AI-native productivity tools that enhance rather than replace human participation in professional meetings, a thesis articulated by Index partner Georgia Stevenson as an investment in "what makes us human." Granola, the portfolio company underlying this vehicle, has built an AI-powered meeting assistant with a distinctive technical architecture: the application sits locally on the user's computer and captures audio from meetings without requiring a visible recording bot in the call. The technology generates structured notes, highlights, action items, and meeting intelligence that allow professionals to participate fully in conversations rather than dividing attention between discussion and documentation. Granola co-founder Chris Pedregal and co-founder Sam Stephenson launched the company in March 2023, and by early 2026 the user base was growing at over 10% weekly — a rate reflecting strong product-market fit in the enterprise AI productivity market. Index Ventures partner Danny Rimer led the Series C and joined Granola's board as an observer. The round was accompanied by continued participation from existing investors Lightspeed Venture Partners, Spark Capital, and NFDG — the venture firm of Nat Friedman and Daniel Gross, which had led Granola's $43 million Series B in May 2025. Index Ventures manages over $4 billion across its growth and early-stage fund families, with a portfolio spanning companies such as Figma, Robinhood, Wise, Adyen, and Dropbox. The firm has offices in San Francisco and London, with a longstanding focus on transformative technology companies across the United States and Europe.

Granola NFDG is an investment vehicle established by NFDG, the venture capital firm co-founded by Nat Friedman and Daniel Gross, to lead the $43 million Series B funding round in Granola, a London-based AI meeting intelligence startup. The round, announced in May 2025, valued Granola at $250 million and brought the company's total funding to $67 million. NFDG's lead investment in Granola reflects the firm's central thesis of backing founders building at the frontier of applied artificial intelligence, particularly products that dramatically improve human productivity in professional environments. NFDG was formed by Nat Friedman, the former CEO of GitHub (acquired by Microsoft for $7.5 billion), and Daniel Gross, a former Y Combinator partner and co-creator of the AI Index. The two co-founders launched their inaugural fund in 2023, raising $1.1 billion — making it one of the largest debut venture capital funds in history. The fund achieved a reported 4x return on paper within two years before Nat Friedman subsequently joined Meta. NFDG has made approximately 16 investments, including high-profile companies such as ElevenLabs, Function Health, and other AI-first ventures. The firm typically invests at Series A through Series B stages, with a focus on high-conviction positions in companies building with advanced AI models. The Series B round in Granola was supported by existing investors Lightspeed Venture Partners and Spark Capital, alongside angel investors including Guillermo Rauch (Vercel), Amjad Masad (Replit), Tobi Lütke (Shopify), and Karri Saarinen (Linear). The round also launched Granola's team collaboration features, expanding the product from an individual meeting tool into a shared workspace for professional teams. Granola was founded in March 2023 by Chris Pedregal and Sam Stephenson and subsequently raised a $125 million Series C led by Index Ventures in March 2026, achieving a $1.5 billion valuation.

Great Hill Equity Partners IX, L.P. represents the ninth iteration of the firm’s flagship growth buyout fund series. Closed in September 2025, this fund reached $7 billion in committed capital—well above its $5 billion target—and achieved its hard cap just five months after its formal launch, underscoring strong investor demand and confidence in the firm’s strategy. Continuing Great Hill’s well-established middle‑market growth buyout strategy, Fund IX targets rapidly scaling companies across the software, financial services, healthcare, consumer, and business services sectors. This enduring focus reflects the firm’s track record of seeking disruptive, high‑growth opportunities where it can provide operational and strategic value. The fund attracted a wide‑ranging investor base from North America, Europe, Asia, the Middle East, South America, and Australia. Its investors include public and private pension funds, sovereign wealth funds, endowments and foundations, insurance companies, healthcare systems, institutional fund managers, family offices, and high‑net‑worth individuals—many of whom have previously backed Great Hill's prior funds. In tandem with the launch of Fund IX, Great Hill made key leadership adjustments: Managing Directors Chris Busby, Nick Cayer, Rafael Cofiño, and Drew Loucks joined the Executive Committee, complementing existing members Chris Gaffney, Mark Taber, and Matt Vettel. Michael Kumin transitioned to Senior Advisor, continuing to manage his existing portfolio responsibilities. Latham & Watkins LLP served as legal counsel for the fund’s formation.

Greenoaks Capital Partners is launching its sixth flagship venture capital fund, Greenoaks Capital Opportunities Fund VI, with a target size of $2.25 billion. This fund aims to continue the firm's strategy of making concentrated, long-term investments in technology-enabled companies globally. The fund will focus on identifying and supporting "generation-defining" businesses early in their lifecycle, partnering with them for decades. Greenoaks employs a research-intensive approach, focusing on a select number of companies to maximize value creation. The firm's investment philosophy combines elements of venture capital and value investing, allowing for flexibility across asset classes, industries, and geographies. Greenoaks' portfolio features notable investments in companies like Coupang, Rippling, Wiz, Databricks, Stripe, Canva, and Figma. The firm is known for its founder-focused approach and long-term commitment to its portfolio companies. With Fund VI, Greenoaks continues to pursue opportunities in the mid-stage venture to early growth space, seeking to support companies that have the potential to become global leaders in their respective sectors.

Greenoaks fund of one is a separately managed account (SMA) structured as a dedicated co-investment vehicle for a single institutional limited partner, managed by Greenoaks Capital Partners. Greenoaks is a San Francisco-based growth-stage venture capital firm founded in 2012 by Neil Mehta and Benny Peretz, managing approximately $12–15 billion across its main fund series. The firm closed its sixth flagship fund, Greenoaks Capital Opportunities Fund VI, at $2.5 billion in July 2025, exceeding its $2.25 billion target. The fund-of-one structure operates in parallel with Fund VI and its predecessor vehicles, enabling the sole LP to co-invest contemporaneously in select transactions alongside the flagship strategy. As of October 2025, the New Mexico State Investment Council (NMSIC) committed up to $75 million to this fund-of-one vehicle, in addition to a separate $75 million commitment to Fund VI. The SMA structure provides NMSIC with additional capital capacity for follow-on investments in high-conviction portfolio companies, allowing larger equity checks beyond the flagship fund's allocation while maintaining the same investment mandate and governance standards. Greenoaks pursues a highly concentrated, high-conviction approach to venture investing, prioritizing companies generating the vast majority of value creation within technology cycles, with strong emphasis on sound unit economics, free cash flow sustainability, and exceptional customer experience as leading indicators of durable competitive advantage. Greenoaks' broader portfolio has included category-defining companies such as Figma, Coupang, Scale AI, Anthropic, Wiz, Navan, Flipkart, Deliveroo, and OYO Rooms, reflecting a global mandate with approximately 50% invested in North America and 50% in international markets — particularly Southeast Asia, India, Europe, and Latin America. The fund-of-one structure is part of Greenoaks' broader capital strategy for providing select institutional investors with access to its concentrated deal-by-deal thesis at tailored scale.

Growth Equity at Goldman Sachs Alternatives is Goldman Sachs Asset Management's dedicated growth equity platform, one of the largest and most tenured specialist growth investors globally, active since 2003 with over $13 billion invested across its history. The platform operates under the Goldman Sachs Alternatives umbrella alongside private equity, credit, and real assets strategies. The most recent flagship fund vehicle, West Street Global Growth Partners I, closed at $5.2 billion in 2023, making it one of the largest growth equity fund closes of that vintage year. The platform pursues minority growth equity investments in high-growth, technology-driven businesses that have achieved product-market fit and are scaling rapidly. Target companies operate across enterprise technology, financial technology, healthcare, and consumer sectors at the commercial or growth stage. Average investment sizes are approximately $50 million per company. Goldman Sachs deploys its proprietary GS Value Accelerator — an operational platform covering talent acquisition, commercial development, and international market expansion — to differentiate its value proposition from traditional passive growth investors and drive accelerated value creation across the portfolio. Led by global managing partners Darren Cohen in New York, Nishi Somaiya in London, and Stephanie Hui in Hong Kong, the platform has established itself as a conviction-led, operationally engaged growth investor with a genuine global reach across North America, Europe, and Asia Pacific. A successor fund, West Street Growth Equity Partners II, commenced fundraising and had raised approximately $555 million as of early 2026, demonstrating continued institutional LP demand for Goldman Sachs's growth equity capabilities. Goldman Sachs Asset Management manages approximately $300 billion in alternatives assets under supervision globally.

HGGC Fund III is the third flagship buyout fund raised by HGGC, a Palo Alto-based private equity firm founded in 2007 and known for its 'Advantaged Investing' approach. The fund held its final close on December 14, 2016—just 99 days after launch—raising $1.84 billion in commitments against a $1.5 billion target and surpassing the $1.75 billion hard cap. This record-pace fundraise reflected exceptional LP demand: HGGC secured $1.25 billion from existing investors and $500 million from new limited partners, drawing from a global base of public and private pension funds, sovereign wealth funds, insurance companies, family offices, and institutional investors across North America, Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. HGGC Fund III pursues control buyout investments in middle-market companies with enterprise values typically ranging from $100 million to $1 billion across four primary sectors: technology and information services, business and financial services, and consumer industries. The firm's investment strategy seeks businesses using technology to disrupt or modernize established end markets—such as software-enabled services, financial technology, and consumer-facing platforms—where HGGC's operating expertise and partnership-driven culture can drive transformational value creation. Average acquisition multiples for Fund III were approximately 7.4x EBITDA, reflecting disciplined entry pricing in competitive middle-market processes. With Fund III, HGGC contributed to a cumulative track record of over 730 completed transactions totaling more than $79 billion in enterprise value across its fund family. Representative investments from the firm's track record include Dealer.com, Serena Software, Thryv, and Evolent Health, demonstrating consistent value creation in technology-enabled business services. The rapid close of Fund III—less than 100 days from launch to final close—stands as a testament to HGGC's investor relationships and the repeatability of its investment model in the U.S. middle market technology and business services segments.

HGGC Fund IV is the fourth flagship buyout fund from HGGC, a Palo Alto-based technology-focused private equity firm with over $6.8 billion in cumulative capital commitments.

The investor base spans more than 170 limited partners across 25 countries, comprising public and private pension funds, sovereign wealth funds, insurance companies, family offices, and institutional investors in North America, Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. Fund IV pursues control-oriented buyout investments in middle-market companies across HGGC's four core sectors: technology and information services, business services, financial services, and consumer industries. The fund targets businesses with enterprise values between $100 million and $1 billion where HGGC's 'Advantaged Investing' operational playbook can accelerate growth, improve margins, and create long-term value through focused talent development, technology enablement, and partnership-aligned management teams. The firm's strong co-investment network and proprietary deal origination capabilities provide sourcing advantages in competitive middle-market processes. Building on three prior flagship funds totaling more than $4.25 billion in cumulative commitments, Fund IV continues HGGC's 15-year history of middle-market investing. With over 730 completed transactions and more than $79 billion in total enterprise value across its history, HGGC has consistently generated strong LP returns through operational value creation in technology-enabled businesses. Representative investments include Thryv (business management software), Dealer.com (automotive technology), and Evolent Health (value-based care), illustrating the firm's ability to build category-defining platforms in sectors undergoing technology-driven disruption.

Closed in January 2011 with commitments of €177 million, HV Holtzbrinck Ventures Fund IV is the fourth venture capital fund managed by HV Capital (formerly Holtzbrinck Ventures) — one of Germany's largest and most established venture capital firms, headquartered in Munich. The fund was co-capitalized by the Georg von Holtzbrinck publishing and media group together with HarbourVest Partners, a leading global private equity fund-of-funds investor, reflecting early institutional recognition of HV Capital's track record in German and European technology venture investing. HV Holtzbrinck Ventures Fund IV invested across the full growth stage spectrum, from early-stage through growth equity, targeting technology-driven businesses in information technology, telecommunications and media (TMT), and e-commerce — sectors undergoing rapid expansion in the German-speaking and broader European market in the early 2010s. The fund applied HV Capital's differentiated approach of founder-focused mentorship, deep domain expertise in consumer internet and B2B software, and strategic access to the Holtzbrinck group's extensive media and publishing network, which provided portfolio companies with content distribution and commercial partnership opportunities across European markets. HV Fund IV formed part of a family of three parallel vehicles — HV IV, HV V, and HV Coinvestment Fund — which collectively invested from 2010 to 2015.

Of the total €250 million, €175 million was contributed by the Ministry and €75 million by Invest-NL itself, with additional co-investment support from regional development agencies (ROMs) active across the Netherlands.

JIC PEF2 Limited Partnership is a JPY 600 billion (approximately USD 3.9 billion) private equity fund established on November 1, 2025, managed by JIC Capital, Ltd. (JICC) — the wholly-owned private equity arm of Japan Investment Corporation (JIC), a government-backed investment corporation supervised by Japan's Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI). The fund represents the second buyout vehicle in JICC's flagship PE series, succeeding JIC PEF1 Limited Partnership. JICC was established in September 2020 and has ranked among the world's largest private equity firms by assets under management, with JIC managing JPY 1.85 trillion in total assets as of March 2024. Japan Investment Corporation acts as the sole limited partner, with JICC serving as general partner and fund manager. PEF2 was established in parallel with JIC PEFJ2 Limited Partnership (JPY 200 billion co-investment vehicle), bringing the combined deployment capacity to JPY 800 billion (approximately USD 5.4 billion). JIC PEF2 focuses on large-scale buyout and growth transactions in Japan, targeting investments in companies with enterprise values of JPY 100 billion or greater. The fund's mandate covers sectors deemed strategically important for Japan's industrial competitiveness and long-term growth: manufacturing, semiconductors and electronics, mobility, materials and chemicals, social infrastructure, green transformation (GX) and digital transformation (DX). The investment approach involves backing large-scale business restructurings, carve-outs, industry consolidations and privatisations — transactions where private capital alone cannot supply the scale or mandate required. Individual positions are typically kept below JPY 50 billion, with JICC often co-investing alongside private-sector PE funds via the companion PEFJ2 vehicle. JIC PEF2 sits within Japan Investment Corporation's broader mandate to facilitate the country's structural economic transformation and realise Japan's Society 5.0 vision, which integrates AI, IoT, robotics and big data across core industries. JICC's predecessor fund, PEF1, produced notable transactions including the acquisition of Shinko Electric Industries (approximately USD 4.7 billion, December 2023) and the takeover of JSR Corporation (approximately USD 6 billion, April 2024) — among the largest PE-driven industrial restructurings in Japan's post-war history. These transactions demonstrate JICC's capacity for complex, large-scale cross-sectoral deals that set the precedent for PEF2's investment programme.

JIC PEFJ2 Limited Partnership ("PEFJ2") is a ¥200 billion private equity co-investment vehicle established by Japan Investment Corporation (JIC) in November 2025 alongside JIC's second main private equity fund (PEF2). PEFJ2 was created to facilitate large-scale co-investments: transactions where JIC leads require a minimum deal size of ¥100 billion, and those where a private-sector investor leads require a minimum of ¥50 billion. The fund operates under JIC Capital, Ltd., the dedicated private equity investment subsidiary of Japan Investment Corporation, which channels government-backed capital into Japan's strategic growth and restructuring sectors. PEFJ2 is structured as a concentrated co-investment vehicle providing direct exposure to individual large-scale transactions rather than diversified portfolio exposure. Its investment mandate focuses on business restructuring, strategic carve-outs, and growth investments in sectors critical to Japan's industrial competitiveness — including technology and digital transformation, advanced manufacturing, healthcare, and energy transition. JIC's institutional mandate is to bridge critical gaps in domestic private capital availability by acting as anchor investor in deals too large or complex for domestic PE alone, thereby catalyzing private co-investment and stimulating Japan's broader private equity ecosystem. PEFJ2 complements PEF2's ¥800 billion overall fund size by providing a dedicated co-investment pool for institutional and corporate investors who prefer direct transaction exposure. Japan Investment Corporation was established by the Japanese government in 2019 to provide long-term, large-scale capital for industrial restructuring and new growth creation. JIC Capital has deployed capital across major Japanese industrial transactions, and the launch of PEF2 with ¥800 billion in total capital alongside PEFJ2 as its co-investment vehicle reflects JIC's ambition to meaningfully scale Japan's private equity market and address the country's corporate restructuring wave in the face of cross-border competitive pressure.

The partnership between KUC and UTokyo IPC bridges Japan's two leading research university systems, enabling cross-pollination of research capabilities and investor networks.

Kepple Liquidity Fund 2 is the second vintage of the Kepple Liquidity Fund series, a Japan-focused venture capital secondaries vehicle managed by Kepple, a Tokyo-based financial technology and venture support company. The fund targets mid- to late-stage private companies approaching IPO readiness within a two-to-three year horizon, acquiring existing shareholders' equity through direct secondary transactions without the company raising new primary capital. Japan Investment Corporation (JIC) committed ¥3 billion ($19.3 million) to the fund, continuing the institutional endorsement it extended to Kepple Liquidity Fund 1 — where JIC committed ¥4.9 billion — underscoring government-backed conviction in secondary liquidity as a solution to Japan's startup ecosystem bottlenecks. Kepple Liquidity Fund 2 employs a direct secondary strategy, purchasing equity stakes from early investors, founders, or employees in high-growth Japanese startups. This approach provides liquidity to early backers while allowing portfolio companies to remain private longer and focus on sustainable growth rather than pursuing premature public listings driven by investor redemption pressure. The fund's thesis addresses a documented structural issue in Japan's startup ecosystem: over-reliance on small-cap IPOs as the primary exit route — a dynamic that constrains company development and produces exits at sub-optimal valuations before companies have reached their full potential scale. By creating alternative secondary liquidity pathways, Kepple Liquidity Fund 2 enables Japan's most promising startups to remain private long enough to execute transformative, mature IPOs comparable to global peers. The Kepple Liquidity Fund series was among the first dedicated VC secondaries vehicles in Japan, pioneering the secondary liquidity model in an ecosystem where the asset class was nascent. JIC's repeat commitment to Fund 2 following its backing of Fund 1 signals institutional confidence in both the strategy's viability and its systemic impact on the Japanese startup ecosystem. Kepple operates within a broader group that also manages Kepple Africa Ventures and provides digital products and investor support services across its global platform, reflecting an ambition to build secondary liquidity solutions for venture ecosystems at different stages of maturity.

The fund targets companies across Spain, Portugal, Italy, and Latin America — regions where ambitious technology scale-ups have historically faced limited access to growth capital at scale — and aims to support global technology winners anchored in Southern Europe and Latin America from their first institutional rounds through international scaling. Ticket sizes support Series A through Series C rounds, enabling the fund to lead or co-lead financing in competitive European and Latin American deeptech companies. An advisory board composed of senior executives from Google, Roku, Devo, Creditas, and other global technology organisations provides portfolio companies with strategic guidance and network access.

Khosla Ventures was co-founded by Vinod Khosla in 2004 following his tenure at Kleiner Perkins, where he had previously backed Sun Microsystems. The firm established its reputation through high-conviction, contra-conventional bets — often dismissed at inception — including early investments in Square (now Block), Affirm, DoorDash, Instacart, and OpenAI. Fund VIII continues this tradition, with particular emphasis on companies at the frontier of AI and climate solutions, where Khosla believes patient venture capital can unlock technologies with outsized economic and societal impact.

The fund is designed as a European closed‑end venture capital vehicle managed by Kibo Ventures. It aims to back early‑stage software businesses with global ambition, leading or co‑leading pre‑series A and series A rounds. Its investment policy places a geographic emphasis on companies whose center of operations, management or strategic base is in Spain, with the intention that at least two‑thirds of invested capital goes into Spanish companies. The duration of the fund is estimated at ten years from the first close, extendable by up to two additional one‑year periods, and it targets a portfolio of B2B software companies with differentiated technologies and scalable international models. Typical checks are in the order of ~€2 million into early‑stage rounds, seeking minority positions (~10‑20%) in companies ready to scale, demonstrating product‑market fit and growth potential.

KP Select III is the third growth-stage fund in Kleiner Perkins' Select fund series, raised alongside KP21 (the firm's 21st venture fund) in June 2024. With $1.2 billion in capital commitments, KP Select III is among the largest vehicles in the Kleiner Perkins fund family, designed to back high-inflection investments in companies scaling rapidly toward market leadership. The fund is managed by Kleiner Perkins (formerly Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers), one of Silicon Valley's most storied and influential venture capital firms with a multi-decade track record of backing category-defining technology and life sciences companies from early stages to IPO and beyond. KP Select III focuses on late-stage and growth-equity investments in technology companies where Kleiner Perkins has identified meaningful inflection points — whether in revenue trajectory, market penetration, or technological capability. The fund's investment thesis is anchored in artificial intelligence, enterprise software, healthcare and life sciences, fintech, and hardtech — sectors where the firm has built deep expertise over five decades of active investing. In contrast to KP21 (which backs companies from the earliest stages with smaller initial checks), KP Select III deploys larger capital tranches into companies that have demonstrated initial product-market fit and are ready to scale aggressively. The fund leverages the full Kleiner Perkins platform, including its global network of portfolio companies, operators, and institutional relationships, to provide growth-stage founders with the strategic support needed to navigate complex expansion phases. Kleiner Perkins has backed some of the most transformative technology companies of the past fifty years, including Amazon, Google, Genentech, AOL, Netscape, and Spotify. The Select fund series builds on this legacy by concentrating follow-on capital in later-stage opportunities where the firm has established the deepest conviction. The launch of KP Select III alongside KP21 reflects Kleiner Perkins' two-pronged 2024 approach: seeding the next generation of category-defining companies through KP21 while deploying growth capital into breakout performers approaching inflection through the Select platform.

KP21 is the 21st venture fund raised by Kleiner Perkins, one of Silicon Valley's most iconic and enduring venture capital firms. Launched in June 2024 alongside KP Select III (the firm's third growth fund), KP21 closed with $825 million in capital commitments and is designed to back early-stage technology companies from inception through the earliest stages of product-market fit. The fund reflects Kleiner Perkins' continued commitment to founding-stage investing in a technology landscape redefined by artificial intelligence and rapid structural transformation across every major industry. KP21 deploys capital into early-stage companies across Kleiner Perkins' core investment verticals: enterprise software, consumer technology, healthcare and life sciences, financial technology, and hardtech. With AI as the defining technological narrative of the current cycle, KP21 places particular emphasis on companies building AI-native applications, infrastructure, and tooling — recognizing the shift from incremental software improvements to foundational reinvention of business processes, scientific discovery, and human-computer interaction. The fund invests from pre-seed through Series A, with typical initial check sizes ranging from $500,000 to $5 million and significant follow-on reserves for top performers. The addition of new partner Leigh Marie Braswell, who joined to lead AI-focused investments, reflects the firm's commitment to maintaining frontier expertise in the discipline most reshaping the venture capital landscape. KP21 represents the continuation of a 50-year investing legacy that includes founding-stage investments in Amazon, Google, Compaq, Netscape, Twitter, Genentech, Snap, and hundreds of other landmark technology companies. The number 21 in the fund's name marks Kleiner Perkins' 21st venture fund — a testament to institutional consistency and cycle-tested investment judgment spanning five decades and multiple technological paradigm shifts. The fund operates in concert with KP Select III, which provides growth capital to double down on KP21's most successful early-stage bets as they scale toward category leadership.

Latitud Ventures Fund II is a pre-seed and seed-stage venture capital fund managed by Latitud, the San Francisco-based accelerator and venture platform dedicated to Latin America's most ambitious technology founders. The fund raised its first closing in 2023 with strategic backing from notable operators and investors across the Latin American technology ecosystem, including co-investors from Nubank and Kavak. Fund II targets a portfolio of approximately 60 early-stage companies, with approximately $250,000 deployed at pre-seed stage and 25% of committed capital reserved for follow-on investments in the highest-conviction opportunities through seed and Series A rounds. The fund's geographic focus spans Brazil, Mexico, Argentina and the broader Latin American region, targeting founders building technology businesses with global ambition in sectors including fintech, SaaS, marketplace, consumer technology and digital health. Latitud's investment strategy benefits from deep integration with the firm's accelerator program, a community of over 1,000 Latin American founders and operators, and a network of international co-investors that enables portfolio companies to attract cross-border capital for subsequent financing rounds. The predecessor Latitud Ventures Fund I backed companies that went on to raise from marquee global investors including Andreessen Horowitz and SoftBank. Latitud Ventures occupies a distinctive position in the Latin American venture ecosystem as both investor and operational platform, providing portfolio founders with access to talent, corporate partnerships and go-to-market support beyond capital. Fund II targets the pre-seed gap in a region where institutional early-stage capital remains significantly underpenetrated relative to the size and growth rate of the addressable technology market.

Level Equity Growth Partners VI is a 2025-vintage growth equity fund closed on March 31, 2025, as part of Level Equity's combined $1.4 billion fundraising cycle alongside Level Equity Opportunities Fund 2025 — representing a significant increase from the firm's prior vintage of $1.125 billion raised in 2021 and a strong oversubscription from institutional investors. Level Equity is a New York and San Francisco-based growth equity firm founded in 2009 with over $6.4 billion in total assets under management and more than 125 portfolio company investments completed across its fund series. The fund targets rapidly growing, lower middle-market software and technology-enabled businesses with between $5 million and $50 million in annual recurring revenue, typically taking minority positions at pivotal growth inflection points. Growth Partners VI focuses on asset-light software businesses demonstrating approximately 25% top-line revenue growth, 80% gross margins, and durable recurring revenue models. Level Equity typically invests between $10 million and $50 million per portfolio company, partnering with management teams to accelerate organic growth and pursue M&A-driven consolidation strategies. A key differentiator is Level Equity's proprietary NextLevel Operations platform — a three-tiered model combining internal operators, senior special operators, and curated external experts — enabling active go-to-market optimization, product strategy enhancement, and bolt-on acquisition support from the earliest stages of each investment partnership. Level Equity has demonstrated consistent performance across its growth equity fund series, with portfolio companies drawn from enterprise software, SaaS, healthcare technology, and business services sectors. The oversubscribed closing of Growth Partners VI reflects institutional confidence from corporate pension plans, university endowments, and family offices who participated in the raise. As of the fund's close, Level Equity's prior vintages had delivered strong realized and unrealized returns from lower middle-market software investments, validating the firm's thesis that capital-efficient, founder-led software companies represent a consistently attractive asset class for growth equity returns.

Level Equity Structured Capital III, L.P. closed on March 11, 2026 with $293.5 million in total capital commitments, exceeding its initial fundraising target of $225 million and representing a successful oversubscription from institutional investors including corporate pension plans, endowments, and family offices. As the third vehicle in Level Equity's Structured Capital series, LSC III continues the firm's established strategy of partnering with durable, high-growth, capital-efficient software businesses through flexible structured credit and equity instruments designed to minimize shareholder dilution. The close brought Level Equity's total 2025-2026 fundraising cycle to over $2 billion across Growth Partners VI, Opportunities Fund 2025, and LSC III combined. Level Equity Structured Capital III provides growth capital to software companies seeking resources to accelerate organic growth initiatives, pursue strategic acquisitions, or deliver liquidity to existing shareholders while maintaining favorable equity ownership positions for management teams. LSC III's structured credit-and-equity approach offers a differentiated alternative to traditional PE or venture capital — preserving founder and employee equity while supplying the growth capital needed to reach scale. The fund focuses exclusively on the technology and software sector and benefits from Level Equity's in-house NextLevel Operations platform, which combines internal operators and senior sector experts to create long-term value throughout the holding period. As of LSC III's final close, Level Equity managed over $6.4 billion in total assets under management across its fund series, with more than 125 portfolio company investments completed since the firm's founding in 2009. The Structured Capital program has established Level Equity as a distinctive provider of growth financing to capital-efficient software businesses, complementing the firm's primary growth equity strategy. LSC III's oversubscription — with committed capital exceeding the target by 30% — reflects sustained institutional conviction in Level Equity's ability to generate differentiated returns through structured capital solutions in the lower middle-market software ecosystem.

Lexington Co-Investment Partners VI (CIP VI) is one of the largest dedicated global co-investment vehicles ever raised, closing on October 28, 2025 with $4.6 billion in committed capital — surpassing both its $4.0 billion target and its predecessor CIP V ($3.5 billion, closed 2021). Managed by Lexington Partners, a subsidiary of Franklin Templeton and one of the world's largest managers of secondary private equity and co-investment funds with over $82 billion in total capitalization, CIP VI is led by one of the industry's most experienced co-investment teams, with partners averaging 22 years of tenure at Lexington. The fund's successful oversubscription reflects broad LP demand for direct equity exposure to institutional private equity transactions across global markets. CIP VI's investment strategy leverages Lexington's 28-year track record in co-investing, selecting best-in-class co-investment opportunities within sponsor-led transactions across North America, Europe, and select other geographies. The fund provides investors with direct equity exposure to private equity and growth equity transactions across all major industry sectors without requiring commitment to multiple primary fund vehicles. CIP VI co-invests alongside more than 200 leading private equity and growth sponsors, constructing a diversified portfolio designed to capture attractive risk-adjusted returns while managing sector and sponsor concentration risk through broad diversification. Since the inception of the Co-Investment Partners program in 1998, Lexington has invested over $10.5 billion across 600+ co-investments, managing approximately $15 billion of cumulative committed capital across eight fund vintages. Lexington's broader transaction experience encompasses completed transactions in excess of $78 billion in total value through more than 1,100 secondary and co-investment transactions acquiring over 4,100 fund interests. The firm's deep relationships with leading sponsors, proprietary deal sourcing, and sophisticated valuation methodologies position CIP VI to deliver diversified exposure to leading PE-backed companies with strong governance and active value creation programs.

Lightspeed Co-Investment Fund I, L.P. is a co-investment vehicle managed by Lightspeed Management Company, L.L.C. (Lightspeed Venture Partners), one of the world's leading multi-stage venture capital firms headquartered at 2200 Sand Hill Road in Menlo Park, California. Founded in 2000, Lightspeed manages over USD 40 billion in assets under management with offices across the United States, Europe, Israel, India and Southeast Asia. The fund's original Form D was filed with the SEC on April 7, 2025 (CIK 0002055513), establishing the 2025 vintage. It reached its final close of USD 601.3 million on December 16, 2025 as part of Lightspeed's record USD 9 billion-plus simultaneous fundraise across six vehicles — the largest capital raise in the firm's 25-year history. The fund is incorporated in Delaware and the GP entities are Lightspeed General Partner Co Investment Fund I, L.L.C. and Lightspeed Management Company, L.L.C., with general partners Arif Janmohamed, Ravi Mhatre and Bejul Somaia. The fund is structured specifically to co-invest alongside Lightspeed's primary managed vehicles — including Lightspeed Venture Partners Fund XV-A (USD 980 million), XV-B (USD 1.2 billion), and the Opportunity Fund III (USD 3.3 billion) — rather than deploying capital independently. This architecture enables select investors to participate directly in specific transactions alongside the flagship funds at high conviction, gaining additional exposure without the full diversification commitment of a primary fund. The fund employs Regulation D exemptions (Rule 506(b), Section 3(c) and 3(c)(7)) and is open to qualified purchasers. As a co-investment vehicle with no independent sector mandate, its exposure mirrors the Lightspeed platform: enterprise software, consumer technology, fintech, healthcare and artificial intelligence across the United States, Europe, Israel, India and Southeast Asia. The fund benefits directly from Lightspeed's 25-year track record and portfolio of over 112 unicorns. Platform companies that co-investors may access include Anthropic, xAI, Databricks, Mistral, Glean, Wiz, Rubrik, Stripe, Snap, Affirm, Epic Games and Grafana. At the time of the 2025 fundraise, Lightspeed had backed 165 AI-native companies, investing over USD 5.5 billion in the category, and returned USD 8 billion from current and active funds over the five preceding years. The co-investment structure positions Lightspeed Co-Investment Fund I as an efficient instrument for investors seeking concentrated exposure to Lightspeed's highest-conviction deployment decisions.

Lightspeed Opportunity Fund III is a $3.3 billion growth and opportunity-focused venture capital fund closed in December 2025, representing the largest single vehicle in Lightspeed's record $9 billion multi-fund raise and the cornerstone of the firm's growth-stage investment strategy. Opportunity Fund III is designed to provide flexible follow-on capital supporting AI startups and category-defining companies through Series C, Series D, and Series E+ rounds, as well as strategic new positions in growth-stage companies across Lightspeed's global portfolio. The fund reflects Lightspeed's conviction that the most significant value creation in AI will occur not only at inception but through the growth-to-scale phase where distribution advantages, customer retention, and data moats compound. Lightspeed's pioneering AI investment expertise directly informs Opportunity Fund III's strategy. Since 2012, the firm has backed 165 AI-native companies with over $5.5 billion deployed across its funds, building a portfolio that includes Anthropic (where Lightspeed is the largest investor in its $3.5B Series E), xAI, Databricks, Mistral, Glean, and Abridge — all now commanding multi-billion-dollar valuations. The Opportunity Fund series enables Lightspeed to deploy larger single checks into companies demonstrating exceptional product-market fit and defensible competitive positions, participating in major financing rounds alongside sovereign wealth funds and other top-tier institutions. The fund operates across Lightspeed's 14-office global platform spanning the United States, Europe, Israel, India, and Southeast Asia. Lightspeed has returned more than $8 billion to limited partners in recent years, with 39 IPOs and 262 acquisitions from the broader portfolio. Recent growth-stage successes include Rubrik (2024 IPO), Affirm ($30B+ market cap at IPO), and strong marks across positions in leading AI infrastructure and application companies. Opportunity Fund III's $3.3 billion mandate — oversubscribed and representing the single largest vehicle in the $9B raise — reflects broad LP confidence in Lightspeed's capacity to identify and support category leaders from seed through market dominance.

Lightspeed Venture Partners Fund XV-A is a $980 million early-stage venture capital fund closed in December 2025, representing the flagship early-stage vehicle of Lightspeed's largest capital raise in its 25-year history — a $9 billion program spanning six simultaneous fund closings. As a pioneer in AI investment since 2012, Lightspeed has deployed more than $5.5 billion across 165 AI-native companies at seed, Series A, and early Series B stages, positioning Fund XV-A to continue this leadership with fresh conviction capital. The fund leverages Lightspeed's global platform spanning 14 offices across the United States, Europe, Israel, India, and Southeast Asia, providing deep local expertise combined with worldwide network effects that few early-stage funds can replicate. Fund XV-A's investment strategy focuses on identifying and backing category-defining AI companies and technology innovators at their earliest stages — from seed through early Series A. The fund applies Lightspeed's signature depth-first approach: depth of commitment (working closely alongside founders from day one), depth of relationships (building authentic long-term partnerships), and depth of belief (staying committed through market cycles). Core sectors of focus include artificial intelligence, enterprise software, fintech, consumer technology, and healthcare. With more than $40 billion in assets under management across all vehicles, Lightspeed provides early-stage founders with not just capital but strategic guidance and access to a portfolio network of over 1,000 companies across sectors and geographies. Lightspeed's track record demonstrates exceptional execution: 39 IPOs and 262 acquisitions from its portfolio, including major exits such as Rubrik (2024 IPO), Affirm ($30B+ market cap at IPO), and Navan. Early investments in Anthropic — where Lightspeed is the largest institutional investor in its $3.5 billion Series E — as well as xAI, Databricks, Mistral, and Glean reflect the firm's consistent ability to identify category leaders at formation. The $9 billion fundraise, of which Fund XV-A represents the dedicated early-stage component, was oversubscribed across all six vehicles, reflecting sustained LP confidence in the firm's ability to generate differentiated venture returns.

Lightspeed Venture Partners Fund XV-B is a $1.2 billion early-to-mid-stage venture capital fund closed in December 2025 as the companion vehicle to Fund XV-A, together forming the core early-stage component of Lightspeed's record $9 billion multi-fund close. While XV-A targets seed and early Series A investments, Fund XV-B is designed for larger Series A rounds and selective Series B opportunities — enabling Lightspeed to maintain ownership concentration and support portfolio companies through their critical scaling phases. Both XV funds share the same investment philosophy and LP base, reflecting the firm's commitment to multi-stage continuity from company formation through growth equity. Fund XV-B leverages Lightspeed's unmatched AI expertise and global platform capabilities. With over $5.5 billion deployed into 165 AI-native companies and founding investments in category leaders such as Anthropic, xAI, Databricks, Mistral, Glean, and Abridge, the fund is positioned to support the next generation of AI companies as they scale through their Series A and Series B milestones. The fund operates across Lightspeed's 14 global offices, providing localized investment expertise, board-level support, and access to a curated network of more than 1,000 portfolio companies for customer introductions, talent recruitment, and strategic partnerships across sectors. Lightspeed's portfolio construction is informed by a 25-year track record: 39 IPOs and 262 acquisitions, including Rubrik (2024 IPO), Affirm ($30B+ IPO valuation), and Navan and Netskope achieving multi-billion-dollar outcomes. The firm has returned more than $8 billion to limited partners in recent years, reflecting strong DPI alongside still-unrealized gains in growth-stage holdings. Fund XV-B, as the larger of the two XV vehicles, will deploy capital into companies in enterprise software, artificial intelligence, fintech, consumer, and healthcare that are demonstrating product-market fit and early revenue traction at Series A and B scale.

Lightspeed Venture Partners Select VI, L.P. is a growth-stage venture capital fund managed by Lightspeed Management Company, L.L.C., operating under the Lightspeed Venture Partners brand. Founded in 2000, Lightspeed is one of the world's leading multi-stage VC firms with over USD 40 billion in AUM across offices in the United States, Europe, Israel, India and Southeast Asia. Select VI is the sixth vehicle in Lightspeed's dedicated growth and follow-on fund series — a lineage that includes Select I (2014, USD 430 million), Select III (2018 vintage), and Select V (2022, USD 2.26 billion). The fund's original Form D was filed with the SEC on December 12, 2024 (CIK 0002044417), establishing the 2024 vintage year. It reached a final close of USD 1.74 billion (announced publicly as approximately USD 1.8 billion) on December 16, 2025, as part of Lightspeed's record USD 9 billion-plus simultaneous fundraise. The slight discrepancy between the SEC amount and announced figures reflects committed-but-not-yet-funded capital, a standard feature of large VC closings. Select VI occupies the growth-stage position in Lightspeed's tiered fund architecture, alongside early-stage flagship funds (Fund XV-A at USD 980 million and XV-B at USD 1.2 billion) and the late/breakout Opportunity Fund III (USD 3.3 billion). The Select series is specifically designed to accelerate existing Lightspeed portfolio companies and selectively back new investments in companies with demonstrated product-market fit at the Series B through Series D+ stages. The fund targets companies globally across Lightspeed's core verticals — enterprise software, AI infrastructure, consumer technology, fintech, healthcare and cybersecurity — with particular emphasis on AI-native category leaders. It also serves a follow-on function, allowing Lightspeed to maintain and increase ownership in breakout portfolio companies as they scale toward IPO or large-scale exit, consistent with the mandate of prior Select funds. Select VI inherits a strong track record from predecessor funds. Select V (USD 2.26 billion, 2022) backed companies including Wiz, Grafana Labs, Navan, Glean, Anthropic, Anduril and Stripe. Across the platform, Lightspeed has backed over 112 unicorns and returned USD 8 billion from current and active funds in the five years preceding the 2025 fundraise, with over USD 3 billion returned in the single year prior to announcement. The firm has invested more than USD 5.5 billion in 165 AI-native companies, positioning Select VI to capture growth-stage upside from early bets on companies like Anthropic, Mistral, Databricks, Glean and Safe Superintelligence (SSI) as they continue to scale.

Linzor Capital Partners IV (LCP IV) closed its fourth institutional private equity fund with aggregate capital commitments exceeding $200 million, demonstrating strong investor confidence in Linzor's proven track record across Latin America. Linzor Capital Partners was founded in 2006 by former J.P. Morgan professionals Tim Purcell, Alfredo Irigoin, and Carlos Ingham, and has established itself as one of the leading regional private equity firms focused on mid-market investments across Latin America excluding Brazil. The firm has deployed approximately $1.2 billion across 25 transactions since inception, with offices in Mexico City, Santiago, Bogotá, and Madrid providing deep local market access and management networks across target geographies. LCP IV's investment strategy focuses on acquiring controlling stakes in companies with enterprise values typically ranging from $100 million to $400 million and EBITDA between $10 million and $100 million. The fund targets market-leading businesses across healthcare, fintech, technology, business services, education, and telecommunications — sectors with structural growth tailwinds in Latin American economies. Linzor creates value through operational improvements, strategic acquisitions, and management team strengthening, exiting via strategic sales, IPOs, or recapitalizations. Early LCP IV deployments include Numaris (a Mexico-based SaaS telematics provider serving 3,000+ enterprise clients managing 200,000+ connected vehicles) and a consortium investment in a leading Chilean private health platform alongside Patria Investments and Moneda. Linzor Capital is distinguished by its commitment to ESG and impact investing principles, integrating responsible investing throughout the entire investment lifecycle from screening through exit. The firm prioritizes portfolio companies contributing to sustainable development in areas including financial inclusion, quality education, affordable healthcare, and technology access, with measurable impact metrics tracked across the fund. With approximately $736 million in total assets under management across multiple funds, Linzor combines disciplined capital allocation with a purpose-driven approach to advancing Latin American economic development, making LCP IV a compelling vehicle for investors seeking private equity exposure to high-growth Latin American markets.

The fund is backed by university endowments, sovereign wealth funds, charitable foundations, pension funds, asset managers, insurance companies and family offices.

Lone View Capital Fund I LP is the inaugural fund of Lone View Capital, a Los Angeles-based growth-oriented private equity firm. Lone View Capital was co-founded by former Golden Gate Capital executives and focuses exclusively on growth-oriented investments in technology businesses across the United States. The fund raised approximately $850 million in capital commitments, a significant achievement for an inaugural fund reflecting strong institutional demand for the founding team's differentiated technology growth equity strategy. The firm is headquartered at 11611 San Vicente Boulevard, Suite 910, Los Angeles, California, and was established in 2022 with a founding team drawn from one of San Francisco's most established mid-market private equity firms. Lone View Capital Fund I invests in growth-oriented technology businesses across the United States, with a mandate to back, transform, and grow market-leading technology companies by leveraging domain expertise and operational support. The fund targets companies across the full technology ecosystem, including vertical software, technology-enabled services, and recurring-revenue platform businesses with significant value creation potential through organic growth, acquisition programs, and operational improvements. Lone View Capital takes a partnership-oriented approach to working with management teams, applying the operational and strategic experience built during the founding team's tenure at Golden Gate Capital to drive transformation across portfolio companies. Lone View Capital Fund I has built an active portfolio of technology investments in the United States, demonstrating the fund's focus on mission-critical technology with defensible market positions. Recent portfolio activity includes investments in Jumpmind, a retail technology platform, and Smartlinx, a healthcare workforce solutions company with multiple acquisitions completed through 2025. The successful raise of $850 million for Fund I — a substantial inaugural fund size for a newly launched firm — reflects the institutional confidence in the founding team's track record from their prior tenure at Golden Gate Capital, a well-established San Francisco-based private equity firm with an extensive history in technology and growth equity investing.

Harper Court Ventures Fund I is a $25 million early-stage venture capital fund launched in May 2025 and managed by MFV Partners, a Silicon Valley-based deep tech investor. The fund operates under an exclusive cooperation agreement with the University of Chicago and its Polsky Center for Entrepreneurship and Innovation, focusing on backing pre-seed and seed-stage startups that emerge from UChicago's research laboratories, faculty-led ventures, and alumni network. Founded by Karthee Madasamy — a Chicago Booth MBA alumnus and long-standing deep tech investor — Harper Court Ventures Fund I represents the first institutionalized vehicle dedicated to commercializing University of Chicago research at scale. Harper Court Ventures Fund I targets transformative deep tech companies across four high-impact sectors: quantum computing, life sciences, energy, and artificial intelligence. The fund applies MFV Partners' proven Silicon Valley framework for early-stage deep tech investment — a track record that includes backing category-defining companies such as PsiQuantum, Agility Robotics, and Waze — directly to UChicago's rich pipeline of commercializable research. Ticket sizes are concentrated at the pre-seed and seed stages, enabling the fund to act as a first institutional investor in breakthrough technologies before they reach broader venture markets. The fund intends to deploy capital into approximately 40 companies over a five-year investment period, positioning Chicago as a globally recognized hub for deep tech innovation. Since its launch, Harper Court Ventures Fund I has built an active portfolio from the UChicago ecosystem. Initial investments include Flow Medical (a catheter-based pulmonary embolism therapy), SimCare AI (an AI-powered clinical skills training platform), and Beacon (airborne pathogen elimination technology). In April 2026, the fund co-invested in CavilinQ's $8.8 million seed round alongside QVT, Safar Partners, and Serendipity Capital — backing a Cambridge-based quantum hardware startup developing modular quantum interconnects from UChicago research. MFV Partners' broader portfolio and Silicon Valley network provide Harper Court Ventures Fund I companies with access to follow-on capital and strategic partnerships beyond the Midwest.

MVI Fund III, managed by Stockholm-based MVI Advisors, achieved a final close at its SEK 2 billion hard cap in April 2025. The fund was oversubscribed after just five months of fundraising, reflecting strong investor confidence in MVI's strategy. This third fund represents an 84% increase in size compared to its predecessor, underscoring MVI's growth and the appeal of its investment approach. The fund attracted a diversified investor base, including returning LPs and new institutional investors from the EU and the U.S., such as Ingka Investment and Saga Private Equity. MVI Fund III continues the firm's focus on acquiring controlling stakes in founder-led, asset-light companies within the Nordic region, emphasizing sectors with strong buy-and-build potential. MVI Fund III has already made its first platform investment, establishing a Nordic environmental and sustainability platform through a partnership with Ametalis and the acquisitions of Envima, Westberg Vibrations- och Omgivningskontroll, and Natur og Samfunn. This investment aligns with MVI's thematic focus on sustainability and circular economy initiatives.

The firm’s second flagship vehicle, MVP Ventures II, is a $125 million early‑stage deep‑tech venture fund from MVP Ventures that expands the firm’s strategy to back founders at the intersection of AI, hardware and software. With this enlarged war chest, the fund emphasises a founder‑first philosophy: putting operations, recruiting, go‑to‑market strategy, regulatory navigation and follow‑on capital access at the centre of its support model. MVP Ventures II leverages a demonstrated track record (including top‑5% performance for Fund I and a 1.45× TVPI for this fund) to secure LP commitments and deploy capital into seed through early‑series rounds where the firm can become a persistent partner. The vehicle targets companies that are building differentiated and defensible technology in large markets, enabling meaningful value creation by pairing modest early checks with high‑impact operational backing rather than chasing only larger ticket sizes.

Magnesium Capital I focuses on profitable European companies with proven technologies or tech-enabled services that are positively impacting the decarbonisation of the production, distribution, and consumption of energy. The team has been backing the buyouts of such businesses for a number of years on a direct deal basis. Since inception, Magnesium has completed seven platform investments, signed six follow-on acquisitions, and exited two investments for 4.2x gross MOIC. The fund targets high-growth, profitable businesses in Europe and the UK that support the energy transition. It likes to partner with entrepreneurial management teams and support them on their next stage of growth. Magnesium looks for companies with competitive advantages in their core technology or tech-led service that have a positive impact on the way energy is produced, distributed, or consumed. The fund takes controlling stakes in each of its investments but considers significant minority positions in certain circumstances. The fund closed its inaugural Fund, Magnesium Capital I, at its hard cap of €135m, exceeding the €100m Fund target. The final close occurred less than a year after the Fund’s first close with Magnesium attracting blue-clip institutional investors from the US, Europe, and the UK. The combined impact of these portfolio companies already directly contributes to the avoidance of over 30 million tonnes of CO2 equivalent per annum, demonstrating their focus on impactful investments with positive environmental outcomes. The fund prefers investments ranging from €15 million to €50 million in companies with enterprise values of €25 million to €100 million.

The fund had a significant re-up rate of 115% from existing limited partners (LPs), demonstrating strong support from the LP base. A notable aspect of the fundraising is the increasingly global institutional LP base, with close to 25% of commitments coming from US investors. Its portfolio companies are supported by in-house Market Intelligence & Performance Excellence teams, providing access to proprietary data & research and best practices on go-to-market strategies, technology, finance, and M&A. Main is deeply connected with the local software ecosystems in its core markets, including Benelux, DACH, Nordics, and the US. Main’s key goal is to build larger international software groups, based on organic growth and acquisitions, in approximately 10 defined product-markets such as Healthtech, Govtech, HRtech, and Cybersecurity. Main Capital Partners did not use a placement agent for the fundraising, and Loyens & Loeff acted as legal counsel. The successful closing of the funds reinforces Main’s position as a European leader in software buyouts and signifies the continued trust and support it has received from its LPs. Over the years, Main has realized close to 30 exits with a weighted average return over 4x and a loss rate well below 0.5%, demonstrating the firm’s strong investment performance and specialized focus on Enterprise Software investing."

MCP Continuation Fund I is a multi-asset continuation vehicle managed by Main Capital Partners, the Netherlands-based private equity firm headquartered in The Hague that specialises in software and technology buyouts across Northern Europe. Closed in May 2025 with total commitments of EUR 520 million, the fund was established to extend the investment horizon for three high-performing portfolio companies held across several predecessor Main Capital Partners funds, providing existing limited partners the option of taking liquidity or maintaining ongoing participation in the continued growth of these businesses. The fund pursues a buyout strategy within the European B2B software and technology sector, with concentration in GovTech, healthcare IT, and financial administration software. By consolidating proven high-performers into a continuation vehicle, Main Capital Partners allows the three portfolio companies additional runway and capital to execute further value-accretive buy-and-build acquisitions under continued stewardship. The transaction was co-led by Lexington Partners and StepStone Group as lead limited partners, with Trinity River Holdings serving as sub-lead, reflecting strong secondary market demand for quality European vertical software assets. Main Capital Partners manages approximately EUR 6.5 billion in assets across its fund family. MCP Continuation Fund I holds three portfolio companies: SDB, a leading Dutch healthcare software provider serving hospitals and long-term care organisations across the Netherlands; MACH, a German GovTech powerhouse supplying document management and process automation solutions to public sector authorities; and Bjorn Lunden, a Sweden-based financial administration software company widely used by small and mid-sized enterprises throughout Scandinavia.

The Dutch Cooperatief U.A. structure allowed existing limited partners the optionality to exit and receive liquidity or continue their exposure to the three portfolio companies through the continuation vehicle.

Marathon Fund III is the latest €75 million seed-stage fund from Athens-based Marathon Venture Capital. The firm continues its mission to be a “Day One partner” to Greek tech founders, focusing on those building globally competitive companies from the outset. This new vehicle brings Marathon’s total assets under management to €175 million, reflecting the firm’s growing influence in the European venture ecosystem. Marathon’s investment thesis centers on founders addressing complex challenges in significant markets. These challenges often require specialized knowledge, such as advanced research expertise, or navigating regulated and overlooked industries like power grid management. The firm emphasizes capital efficiency and resilience, qualities inherent in the Greek tech community, enabling startups to serve global markets effectively from their inception. The firm has a track record of successful investments, including the acquisition of Augmenta by CNH Industrial for $110 million and a secondary sale of shares in Hack the Box to The Carlyle Group. These exits underscore Marathon's ability to identify and support startups with significant growth potential and global appeal.

Marathon Venture Capital Fund III is the third flagship fund managed by Marathon Venture Capital, the foremost seed-stage venture capital firm headquartered in Athens, Greece. The fund reached its final close in May 2025 at €75 million in an oversubscribed single closing, underscoring strong institutional confidence in Marathon VC's thesis of backing Greek technology entrepreneurs building globally competitive companies from Southern Europe. The fund was supported by anchor commitments of €20 million each from the European Investment Fund (EIF) and the Hellenic Development Bank of Investments (HDBI), alongside corporate and private investors from Greece and international markets. The oversubscription reflects Marathon VC's growing reputation as the leading gateway to the Greek technology ecosystem, with the fund raising Marathon VC's cumulative assets under management above €170 million across three successive funds. Fund III deploys early-stage capital into approximately 15 technology companies founded by Greek entrepreneurs operating across Europe and globally, continuing Marathon VC's core thesis that differentiated technical talent and a lean operating culture in Southern Europe can generate outsized returns in B2B technology markets. Target investment sectors include IT infrastructure, cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, agricultural technology, defense technology, and deep tech. Marathon VC invests at the seed stage, acting as lead investor and taking active board roles, and leverages its extensive network within the Greek diaspora — particularly in the United States and Western Europe — to support portfolio companies with international expansion, customer development, and follow-on fundraising. The fund continues the progression of Marathon VC's strategy from its first fund (2017, technology generalist) through Fund II (2020, subsequently expanded to €70 million) toward deeper focus on technical and hard-to-replicate intellectual property. Marathon Venture Capital was founded in 2012 and has established a track record of backing several of Greece's most successful technology companies across its prior two funds. Portfolio companies from Marathon's previous funds have gone on to raise significant follow-on capital at international valuations and achieve meaningful product-market fit in global B2B markets. The fund was established at a time when Greece's technology ecosystem had reached an inflection point, with multiple Athens-based startups achieving venture funding from top-tier international investors and a growing pipeline of technically sophisticated founders emerging from Greek universities and the diaspora. Fund III builds on this foundation with a broader mandate to support deep-tech and frontier sectors — including defense technology and agricultural automation — reflecting Marathon VC's evolution toward harder-to-replicate competitive advantages in a global market shaped by AI, quantum computing, and autonomous systems.

March Capital Fund III is the third institutional venture capital fund managed by March Capital, a leading enterprise technology-focused venture firm headquartered in Santa Monica, California. The fund reached its final close in January 2021 at $450 million, surpassing its fundraising target with support from both existing limited partners who rolled over from prior funds and a significant cohort of new institutional investors — an outcome described by the firm as remarkable given the challenging macro environment of the COVID-19 pandemic. With Fund III, March Capital crossed $1 billion in aggregate assets under management across its three funds, cementing its position as a prominent enterprise technology investor in the Los Angeles venture ecosystem. The fund is co-managed by founding partners Jamie Montgomery and Sumant Mandal, alongside a team of 15 investment professionals with deep enterprise software expertise. Fund III concentrates on high-growth enterprise technology companies across five primary verticals: enterprise artificial intelligence, industrial technology, cybersecurity, financial technology, and next-generation cloud infrastructure. The fund targets companies primarily at the growth and late stages of development, backing businesses that have demonstrated repeatable enterprise sales motion, strong net revenue retention, and large total addressable markets in B2B software. March Capital applies a disciplined, conviction-based approach, building concentrated portfolios of high-conviction positions in enterprise platforms with the potential to achieve category leadership. The fund reflects a global investment posture: while rooted in Los Angeles and North American enterprise markets, it includes an India-focused investment pillar through partner Rajan Mehra and a gaming and interactive media vertical through partner Gregory Milken, both additions that broadened Fund III's coverage relative to prior funds. March Capital's investment track record encompasses breakout enterprise software companies across its fund family, with investments in companies that have achieved unicorn valuations, strategic acquisitions, and public listings. The firm was founded in 2014 and has consistently backed companies at earlier stages of the growth curve that go on to define enterprise software categories. Fund III was raised during a period of compressed timelines and accelerating digitisation in enterprise IT — dynamics that accelerated demand for the cybersecurity, AI, and cloud infrastructure platforms that March Capital targets. The fund's limited partners include institutional investors that represent major public and private pension funds, endowments, and family offices that prioritise access to top-tier enterprise software returns in the US venture market.

March Capital Fund IV is a $650 million-plus venture capital fund managed by March Capital, a Santa Monica-based firm co-founded by Jamie Montgomery and focused on enterprise and B2B technology. The fund achieved its final close in February 2023 and is March Capital's fourth flagship vehicle, bringing the firm's cumulative assets under management to more than $1.65 billion across four funds and over 25 portfolio companies since the firm's founding in 2014. Fund IV oversubscribed against its initial target, reflecting strong institutional confidence in the firm's track record and its thesis on the next wave of AI-enabled enterprise software. Fund IV targets growth-stage enterprise technology companies operating at the intersection of cloud infrastructure, cybersecurity, and artificial intelligence-driven automation. March Capital concentrates on businesses with proven product-market fit that address large markets and provide mission-critical capabilities indispensable to their customers' core operations. The fund makes 12 to 15 concentrated investments per vehicle, with check sizes typically ranging from $25 million to $75 million per company. A distinctive strategic element is March Capital's India practice, backing enterprise software companies serving global markets from offshore development centers—a differentiated focus the firm has cultivated since its inception and which provides access to high-quality growth-stage opportunities often overlooked by West Coast-focused VC firms. March Capital Fund IV builds on an established exit track record that includes CrowdStrike (Nasdaq: CRWD)—which became one of the defining cybersecurity platforms of the cloud era—and KnowBe4 (Nasdaq: KNBE), a leading security awareness training company. These exits validate the firm's ability to identify and scale enterprise technology leaders before they achieve mainstream recognition. With Fund IV, March Capital continues deploying its disciplined, concentrated approach to identifying AI-enabled enterprise software businesses poised for hypergrowth, a category the firm believes will define enterprise technology spending for the foreseeable future as customers replace legacy systems with AI-native alternatives.

Managed by Mercia Fund Management, through a dedicated 48-person Ventures division led by Managing Director Will Clark, the fund occupies a distinctive position in the UK private capital ecosystem by combining EIS tax-efficiency with an investment strategy that explicitly focuses on high-potential technology businesses in regions outside London and the South East, areas that are chronically underserved by mainstream venture capital.

MindWorks Capital (概念资本, Gàiniàn Zīběn) is a pan-Asia venture capital firm headquartered in Hong Kong, with additional offices in Beijing, Shanghai, and Jakarta. Founded in 2013, MindWorks has built a differentiated cross-border investment platform that bridges Greater China and Southeast Asia — markets with distinct opportunity profiles that reward locally embedded expertise and cross-regional access rather than a single generalist approach. As of its Fund IV close in October 2024, MindWorks manages approximately $1.4 billion in total assets across its fund vehicles, cementing its position as one of the largest dedicated pan-Asia VC firms not affiliated with a major corporate or sovereign institution. MindWorks operates a bifurcated strategy calibrated to the specific stage characteristics of its two core geographies. In Greater China, the firm targets Series A investments in innovative and disruptive companies — backing the highest-conviction early bets before competitive dynamics intensify. In Southeast Asia, MindWorks focuses on Series B-stage companies with proven business models, prioritising logistics technology, financial technology, and enterprise software — sectors where Southeast Asian consumer and SME adoption curves are most rapidly converging toward Chinese and global benchmarks. This stage-geographic alignment allows the firm to deploy capital where its analytical edge is highest and avoid crowded areas. MindWorks Capital Fund IV closed in October 2024 at $220 million, exceeding its $200 million target and reflecting continued LP confidence in the team's track record despite a challenging global VC fundraising environment. The firm's total AUM of $1.4 billion spans five fund vehicles.

The fund is headquartered in Chiba, Japan, and invests in both domestic Japanese startups and international companies with globally relevant materials innovations, conducting approximately two to six transactions annually with deal sizes reflecting early and Series A-stage financing needs. Notable portfolio investments include Forge Nano Inc., a US-based nanocoating technology company that benefited from the fund's co-investment alongside LG Technology Ventures in its Series A financing round — demonstrating the fund's ability to identify globally relevant materials innovations and participate in international syndicates alongside strategic partners.

Motivate Ventures Fund II is the second venture capital fund raised by Motivate Venture Capital, a North American seed and pre-seed investment firm. Announced in November 2023 and totaling $81 million in commitments, Fund II is anchored by two global financial services institutions alongside a returning base of limited partners who have supported the firm since its founding. The fund represents a meaningful step up in scale from Motivate's debut vehicle, reflecting the firm's track record and growing network within early-stage technology ecosystems across the United States and Canada. Fund II targets pre-seed and seed stage technology companies across North America, deploying check sizes from $250,000 to $3 million per investment. The fund maintains a broad mandate within early-stage B2B technology, with particular depth in enterprise software, financial technology, artificial intelligence and machine learning, manufacturing optimization, and supply chain infrastructure. Portfolio construction emphasizes backing diverse and underrepresented founders building high-growth companies, and the firm actively provides portfolio companies with community support, operational guidance, and access to its institutional LP network. As of mid-2024, Motivate Ventures Fund II had deployed capital into at least 23 companies, including Lazarus AI (document intelligence), Reloshare (social services software), Valiot (manufacturing optimization), Moove.ai (transportation), Fin3 (financial technology), Jawnt (transit platforms), Finofo (forex solutions), MarkIII (banking infrastructure), and Inca Digital (financial compliance). The managing partners—including David Wieland and Lauren Pearce—lead the firm from its North American headquarters, leveraging deep relationships across the technology and financial services sectors to source and support competitive early-stage investments.

Move Capital Fund I is a pan-European growth equity fund managed by KC Invest (Kepler Cheuvreux Invest), the asset management arm of Kepler Cheuvreux Group, one of Europe's leading independent investment banking and equity research firms. Launched in January 2022 with its first closing, the fund was approved by the French financial regulator (AMF) and received the 'TIBI' label issued by the French government to designate high-quality technology funds eligible for institutional capital. Move Capital Fund I targeted €300 million in commitments from French and international institutional investors. The fund invests at the growth stage in B2B European technology companies operating along the data value chain, with a particular focus on sectors including cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, Internet of Things (IoT), data analytics, machine learning, and the digital transformation of large enterprises. The investment thesis centers on nurturing European technology champions by providing expansion capital to companies that have demonstrated strong product-market fit and are positioned to scale across European markets. The managing team brings over 50 years of combined technology sector experience and leverages Kepler Cheuvreux's pan-European research platform and sector intelligence capabilities to identify and support portfolio companies. Move Capital Fund I attracted a high-quality institutional LP base that includes the European Investment Fund (EIF), French public investment bank Bpifrance, and strategic corporate investors Nokia and SKT (the Korean telecommunications group), alongside European family offices. The fund has completed six investments since inception and is now closed. KC Invest's responsible investment approach incorporates reinforced ESG policies across the portfolio, consistent with the TIBI certification framework and the fund's positioning as a flagship European growth technology vehicle.

NB Aurora S.A. SICAF-RAIF is a Luxembourg-domiciled, Italian-focused growth capital investment vehicle that provides expansion financing and professional management support to high-potential, family-owned small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Originally established in 2017 as a collaboration between Neuberger Berman — one of the world's largest independent employee-owned investment managers — and the management team that would later become Aurora Growth Capital, the fund was structured as a closed-end Société d'Investissement à Capital Fixe (SICAF) and reserved alternative investment fund (RAIF) listed on Euronext MIV Milan. In March 2025, shareholders approved a transformation of NB Aurora into a semi-liquid evergreen fund structure, resulting in its delisting from the stock exchange. NB Aurora targets family-owned Italian SMEs operating in niche, export-driven markets with revenues typically between €40 million and €200 million. The fund deploys equity tickets of €20 million to €60 million per investment, acquiring majority stakes and active minority positions in businesses with strong growth potential but in need of capital, governance improvement, and strategic direction. The fund's sector focus spans four primary verticals: Technology Growth and Digital Transformation, Industrial Manufacturing and Business Services, Environmental and Sustainability, and Healthcare. Investments are made with a hands-on, ESG-integrated approach aimed at professionalizing governance structures, accelerating international expansion, and executing targeted buy-and-build strategies within fragmented Italian mid-market sectors. With approximately €500 million in assets under management, NB Aurora has built a portfolio of nine platform investments, with notable entries including Dierre (December 2023) and exits including Club del Sole (March 2024). Following a management buyout from Neuberger Berman, the NB Aurora team became fully independent under the Aurora Growth Capital brand, joining forces with the NB Renaissance Partners team to form the most significant Italian-led private equity investment platform dedicated to domestic mid-market companies and entrepreneurs.

NB Renaissance Partners III is the third and largest buyout fund managed by NB Renaissance Partners, the Italian private equity platform jointly established in 2015 by Neuberger Berman and Intesa Sanpaolo following the strategic decision to spin out the bank's private equity operations into an independent, institutional-grade GP. The fund raised approximately €950 million and is structured as a compartment of NB Renaissance Partners S.à r.l. SICAV-RAIF, a Luxembourg reserved alternative investment fund, reflecting standard European institutional fund architecture for private market vehicles targeting sophisticated investors. NB Renaissance Partners III pursues a buyout and buy-and-build investment strategy targeting Italian and pan-European mid-market companies with revenues between €100 million and €500 million and EBITDA of at least €17–20 million. The fund deploys average equity tickets of €80–100 million per transaction, acquiring majority control positions with the intention of growing portfolio companies through a combination of organic expansion, operational improvement, and selective add-on acquisitions. A defining element of the strategy is identifying fragmented market niches — across manufacturing, industrial services, IT, and consumer goods — where NB Renaissance can serve as a consolidation platform, building sector champions from mid-market leaders. Up to 20% of the fund's capital may be deployed outside of Italy, providing flexibility to pursue adjacent European opportunities. The fund is managed by a team of approximately fifteen investment professionals based in Milan, led by managing partners Fabio Canè and Stefano Bontempelli. NB Renaissance Partners III's investor base includes European and US-based institutional investors comprising pension funds, insurance companies, asset managers, and family offices. Notable portfolio investments include Engineering Ingegneria Informatica (Italy's leading IT services provider, acquired in partnership with Bain Capital Private Equity), Rino Mastrotto Group (a €300 million turnover premium leather goods manufacturer), and Hydro Holding (hydraulic components manufacturing). The NB Renaissance platform manages total commitments of approximately €1.8 billion across three vehicles — NBRP Fund I, NBRP Fund III, and the NBRP Annex Fund — establishing it as one of the most significant private equity investors dedicated to the Italian mid-market.

NFocus Fund is a $51.5 million corporate venture capital fund co-established by Nikon Corporation and Geodesic Capital, an experienced Silicon Valley-based venture capital firm with deep expertise in US-Japan cross-border technology investments. The fund was formally launched on August 6, 2024, with Nikon Corporation serving as the anchor limited partner through Nikon Ventures Corporation (NVC), a California-incorporated Nikon subsidiary tasked with managing the company's direct venture engagement with portfolio startups. NFocus Fund is domiciled in the Cayman Islands, consistent with standard fund structures for international institutional venture investors. NFocus Fund invests in early-to-mid-stage startups — from seed through Series B — operating in strategic technology domains that align with Nikon's long-term vision of enabling a society where humans and machines co-create seamlessly by 2030. Priority investment areas include advanced imaging and sensing, robotics and automation, semiconductor manufacturing technology, precision optics applications, digital health, and other categories in which Nikon seeks to accelerate inorganic innovation and build strategic partnerships with emerging technology companies. Nikon Ventures Corporation engages directly alongside Geodesic Capital as an active investor in portfolio companies, providing startups with access to Nikon's global technology ecosystem, manufacturing capabilities, engineering talent, and corporate partnership network — a differentiated value proposition beyond capital alone. Geodesic Capital contributes its Silicon Valley network, track record of successful early-stage investments, and deep understanding of Japanese corporate culture and partnership dynamics, making it well-suited as Nikon's preferred venture partner. NFocus Fund has a 10-year term, with a maximum 12-year extension, and focuses primarily on North America, with flexibility to pursue compelling opportunities in other global innovation hubs. The fund exemplifies a growing trend of Japanese industrial conglomerates establishing dedicated corporate venture vehicles to complement internal R&D with access to externally developed, disruptive technologies. Portfolio activity includes an early-stage investment in Trener Robotics (February 2026), consistent with the fund's emphasis on robotics and automation as a core investment theme.

NPIF II – Praetura Equity Finance is a venture capital fund managed by Praetura Ventures as part of the Northern Powerhouse Investment Fund II (NPIF II), a £660 million government-backed programme launched in March 2024 by the British Business Bank. Praetura Ventures was selected through a competitive tender process to manage the North West England equity mandate — the largest single equity allocation within NPIF II at £100 million — covering Greater Manchester, Lancashire, Cheshire, Cumbria, and Merseyside. The fund was designed to address the persistent gap in early-stage equity access across the North West, building on the original NPIF programme's legacy of catalysing private venture investment in Northern England from 2017 onward. The fund provides equity investments of up to £5 million per company, targeting businesses with demonstrated high-growth potential across all sectors, with priority focus on deep tech, life sciences, health technology, software, and digital innovation. Praetura Ventures combines deep local market expertise with an intensive ownership model, providing portfolio companies with direct access to operational support teams, strategic co-investment networks, and the broader Praetura platform encompassing private equity, debt finance, and fund-of-funds strategies. The fund explicitly promotes diversity, equity, and inclusion, with mandates to actively support underrepresented founders and widen access to venture capital across Northern networks that have historically been underserved. Launched in Spring 2024, NPIF II – Praetura Equity Finance is already actively deploying capital across the North West. Praetura Ventures manages over £260 million in AUM across its platform and has confirmed portfolio investments under the mandate, including in companies such as Audiebant and CloudGuard. The wider NPIF II programme has facilitated over £275 million in total investment to Northern businesses across all regions within its first two years. The fund operates on an approximately five-year investment period backed by the British Business Bank and HM Government, and is expected to support hundreds of high-growth businesses across the North West through to approximately 2029.

NPIF – Mercia Equity Finance is a government-backed venture capital fund managed by Mercia Asset Management, operating through its subsidiary Mercia Fund Management, as part of the Northern Powerhouse Investment Fund (NPIF). The NPIF was a landmark £400 million initiative launched in February 2017 by the British Business Bank with co-funding from the European Investment Bank and the European Regional Development Fund. The fund was established specifically to address the persistent underfunding of innovative SMEs across Yorkshire, Humber, and Tees Valley — regions that have historically received a disproportionately low share of UK venture capital compared to London and the South East of England. The fund deploys equity investments ranging from £100,000 to £2 million into early-stage and growth-stage businesses across a broad range of sectors, with particular strength in technology, artificial intelligence, clean energy, healthcare innovation, and advanced manufacturing. Mercia brings a nationwide network of regional offices and specialist investment teams, offering portfolio companies not only capital but active hands-on strategic support, co-investment introductions, and access to Mercia's broader fund ecosystem. The investment strategy deliberately targets companies with growth trajectories that cannot be sustained through traditional debt financing alone, making the fund a critical enabler for ambitious Northern founders seeking long-term equity partners. Since its inception in 2017, NPIF – Mercia Equity Finance has deployed over £71 million across more than 67 businesses in Yorkshire, Humber, and Tees Valley, supporting the creation of over 600 direct jobs in the region. Portfolio highlights include Faradion, a sodium-ion battery technology company sold for approximately £100 million to Reliance Industries, and GI UK, acquired by a Dutch multinational. Backed by the European Investment Bank, the European Regional Development Fund, and HM Government, the fund has catalysed substantial private co-investment alongside its public funding commitments, helping to build a more vibrant and sustainable venture capital ecosystem across the North of England.

NVentures is NVIDIA Corporation's corporate venture capital arm, established in 2021 and headquartered in Santa Clara, California, to invest in early-stage and growth-stage technology companies that build on or benefit from NVIDIA's hardware, software, and AI platforms. Unlike conventional closed-end funds, NVentures operates as an evergreen balance-sheet vehicle directly funded by NVIDIA, with every investment personally approved by CEO Jensen Huang — a structure that reflects how central venture activity is to NVIDIA's long-term strategic positioning. The portfolio grew from approximately $300 million in early 2023 to over $1.5 billion by late 2024, and NVentures has become one of the world's most active and influential corporate venture investors in the AI era. NVentures invests across the full venture lifecycle — from seed through late-stage pre-IPO — in companies developing AI infrastructure, AI model capabilities, robotics, healthcare AI, biotech and life sciences, and enterprise software built on GPU-accelerated compute. The fund participates in rounds from a few million dollars at the seed stage to hundreds of millions in strategic co-investments alongside top institutional VC firms. Portfolio companies receive not only capital but direct access to NVIDIA's engineering teams, pre-release hardware, CUDA and software platform support, supply chain relationships, and NVIDIA's global customer and partner network spanning hyperscalers, enterprises, research institutions, and sovereign AI programmes. NVentures' portfolio as of 2025 includes some of the most prominent AI infrastructure and model companies globally: OpenAI, xAI, Mistral AI, Hugging Face, Databricks (which raised at a $62 billion valuation in late 2024), CoreWeave (which IPO'd in March 2025 delivering significant returns to NVIDIA), and Runway (AI video generation). NVIDIA participated in approximately 45 AI-related financing rounds in 2024, and by mid-2025 had already surpassed that total for the year. NVIDIA's publicly disclosed equity portfolio across six holdings totalled approximately $1.14 billion as of April 2025, led by its CoreWeave position. As an evergreen CVC vehicle, NVentures does not publish a fixed fund size — its investment pace and capacity scale with NVIDIA's balance sheet and strategic priorities.

Neva II is a multi-stage global venture capital fund launched in September 2024 by Neva SGR, the venture capital subsidiary of Intesa Sanpaolo Group — one of Europe's largest banking groups and Italy's leading retail and corporate bank with over EUR 1 trillion in total assets. Targeting EUR 400 million in commitments, Neva II is the second-generation flagship global vehicle managed by Neva SGR following the firm's inaugural generation of funds. As of the September 2024 launch, EUR 187 million had already been raised and invested across five diversified portfolio companies. Neva II is managed under the Italian SGR (Societa di Gestione del Risparmio) regulatory framework and is open to qualified institutional investors globally. Neva II invests across the full early-growth venture spectrum — from seed through Series C — in technology-driven companies addressing global challenges across five priority sectors: life sciences and healthcare innovation (particularly oncology and autoimmune disease therapeutics, digital health); energy transition and cleantech; digital transformation and enterprise software; next-generation manufacturing and materials; and aerospace. The fund's investment selection requires portfolio companies to demonstrate clear pathways to solving global problems with a focus on sustainability, ESG integration, and circular economy alignment. The geographical scope is global, with particular attention to European and North American innovation ecosystems where Neva SGR has established sourcing relationships. The backing of Intesa Sanpaolo provides portfolio companies with access to a major European bank's corporate network, lending capabilities, and strategic partnerships across Italian and international enterprise markets. Neva SGR was established in 2020 as Intesa Sanpaolo's dedicated venture capital arm, building an investment platform designed to bridge between global technology innovation and the strategic needs of one of Europe's largest financial institutions. Neva II is the companion fund to Neva II Italia (EUR 100 million target), which specifically targets Italian-headquartered startups with a PIR-compliant structure. Together, the two Neva II funds represent a EUR 500 million combined investment platform — doubling the capacity of the predecessor generation. This scaling reflects both the maturation of Neva SGR's team and network after four years of active investment, and Intesa Sanpaolo's commitment to positioning its banking group at the intersection of European and global innovation ecosystems.

Neva II Italia is a PIR-compliant (Piano Individuale di Risparmio) Italian venture capital fund launched in September 2024 by Neva SGR, the venture capital subsidiary of Intesa Sanpaolo Group. Targeting EUR 100 million in commitments, Neva II Italia is structured as a closed-end Italian-law alternative investment fund under the SGR management framework, qualifying under PIR Alternative regulations that provide significant tax advantages to Italian pension funds (casse previdenziali), insurance companies, and institutional retail investors seeking venture capital exposure. As of its September 2024 launch, the fund had already raised over EUR 42 million and completed five investments in promising Italian companies. Neva II Italia invests exclusively in Italian-headquartered or Italian-founded companies at the early-to-growth stage — from seed through Series B — across five priority sectors aligned with the broader Neva SGR investment thesis: life sciences and healthcare innovation (oncology, autoimmune disease, digital health); energy transition and cleantech; deep tech and next-generation manufacturing; digital transformation and enterprise software; and aerospace. The Italian focus differentiates Neva II Italia from its companion fund Neva II (EUR 400 million, global mandate), which invests across international ecosystems. By anchoring on Italian companies, Neva II Italia gives domestic institutional investors a dedicated vehicle to access the Italian startup ecosystem with the full support network of Intesa Sanpaolo Group — Italy's largest domestic bank, with extensive relationships across Italian corporations, SMEs, family offices, and institutional investors. Neva II Italia complements the broader Neva II twin-fund platform, which together targets EUR 500 million in combined capacity — double the investment envelope of the predecessor Neva SGR fund generation. This scaling represents both Neva SGR's maturation as an Italian venture capital institution after four years of deployment, and Intesa Sanpaolo Group's strategic commitment to cultivating a domestic venture capital ecosystem that keeps innovative Italian companies within the Italian institutional investor sphere rather than ceding early ownership to foreign VC firms. The PIR Alternative structure of Neva II Italia has attracted particular interest from Italian pension and social security funds, which historically have been underallocated to the domestic VC asset class relative to peer European institutional markets.

(SEF I) is the inaugural non-control private equity fund raised by New Mountain Capital, a leading New York-based alternative asset manager with approximately $60 billion in assets under management. SEF I closed in 2020 with approximately $640 million of capital commitments, establishing New Mountain Capital's strategic equity platform as a distinct investment strategy alongside the firm's flagship buyout and credit vehicles. The fund is dedicated to minority, non-control investments in founder- and sponsor-backed businesses across New Mountain Capital's core thematic focus areas, including infrastructure services, life sciences and advanced materials, healthcare technologies, advanced data and analytics, software, financial and insurance services, and technology-enabled business services. Unlike the firm's buyout funds, SEF I operates without seeking operational control, instead partnering with management teams and sponsors to provide capital and operational resources in a collaborative structure designed to preserve entrepreneurial leadership and accelerate growth trajectories. SEF I was the proving ground for a strategy that went on to raise an oversubscribed successor fund. The fund's performance and investor reception directly led to the formation of New Mountain Strategic Equity Fund II, which closed in January 2026 at $1.2 billion — an 88% increase over SEF I — reflecting sustained institutional confidence in the non-control strategy. SEF I is managed within New Mountain Capital's strategic equity team, which applies the same sector-research discipline and business-building philosophy that defines the broader firm platform.

SEF II closed in January 2026 with $1.2 billion in capital commitments, exceeding the fund's $1.0 billion hard cap after limited partners supported an increase in the cap to accommodate the oversubscribed interest. General partner commitments of more than $150 million represented the single largest LP commitment in the fund, reflecting strong GP/LP alignment. SEF II is dedicated to minority, non-control investments in founder- and sponsor-backed businesses, positioning the strategy as partnership-oriented and focused on operational support and business-building rather than control buyouts. The fund targets companies across a defined set of thematic areas where New Mountain has deep sector expertise: infrastructure services, life sciences and advanced materials, healthcare technologies, advanced data and analytics, software, financial and insurance services, and technology-enabled business services. Investments are intended to support organic growth and strategic initiatives while preserving the entrepreneurial ownership structure of portfolio companies. SEF II builds directly on the performance track record established by its predecessor, New Mountain Strategic Equity Fund I, which raised approximately $640 million in 2020. The more than 85% growth between the two funds reflects investor confidence in the strategy and New Mountain Capital's established franchise in the non-control private equity space. The fund is managed by New Mountain Capital's Strategic Equity team, which operates within the same research-driven, business-building culture that defines the firm's flagship buyout funds, extending those capabilities into minority investment structures.

NewView Capital Fund III (NVC III) is the third flagship fund raised by NewView Capital, a Burlingame, California-based venture capital firm specializing in growth-stage investments in enterprise technology and consumer internet companies. NewView Capital was founded in 2018 by Ravi Viswanathan after acquiring 31 companies from NEA via a landmark portfolio acquisition, and has since built a distinctive platform that combines primary venture investment with secondary portfolio acquisition capabilities. The firm manages over $3 billion in total assets under management across its fund family.

The fund invests through a combination of primary lead and co-investment rounds, and opportunistic secondary purchases of high-conviction growth companies approaching IPO or acquisition.

NexPhase Capital Fund IV (NPC IV) is the fourth flagship fund raised by NexPhase Capital, a thematically driven and operationally focused lower middle-market private equity firm. NPC IV held a final close on April 20, 2021 with $544 million of capital commitments, reaching its hard cap and representing more than a 50 percent increase in size over its predecessor, NexPhase Capital Fund III. The oversubscribed offering drew participation from public pension plans, global institutional investors, and the firm's existing limited partner base. NPC IV targets control buyout investments in growth-oriented, capital-efficient North American lower middle-market companies across three distinct industry verticals: healthcare, software, and consumer. The fund focuses on entrepreneur-owned businesses with strong unit economics and defensible market positions, pursuing equity investments between $25 million and $150 million per transaction.

NPC IV set the stage for the firm's fifth fund, NexPhase Capital Fund V, which closed in October 2023 at $795 million — a further 46 percent increase — reflecting sustained institutional appetite for the firm's lower middle-market buyout approach in defensive, high-growth verticals.

Since inception, NexPhase has raised and managed approximately $2.6 billion of capital, placing NPC V as the firm's largest and most subscribed vehicle to date. The fund's successful close at $795 million affirms the durability of the thematic, sector-concentrated buyout strategy in the lower middle-market, where NexPhase operates with fewer competitors than larger cap segments.

About Nexa Equity Fund IINexa Equity Fund II is a $390 million private equity fund managed by Nexa Equity, a San Francisco-based firm that partners with high-growth vertical SaaS companies to help scale them into market leaders. Closing in May 2025 at its hard cap—oversubscribed and fully subscribed in under six months—Fund II brings Nexa's total assets under management to over $1 billion. Founded in 2021 by Managing Partner Vlad Besprozvany, Nexa Equity has assembled a team of 18 experienced investors and operators who combine deep software expertise with a disciplined value-creation playbook centered on operational improvement, go-to-market acceleration, and strategic M&A. The rapid oversubscription of Fund II reflects strong institutional LP conviction in both the team and the secular tailwinds driving adoption of vertical SaaS across industries.Nexa Equity Fund II focuses on control investments in vertical SaaS businesses—companies building industry-specific software for end markets including financial services, healthcare, logistics, real estate, and business services. Unlike horizontal software platforms that serve all industries generically, vertical SaaS companies typically achieve higher net revenue retention, stronger competitive moats, and faster paths to market leadership within their defined categories. Nexa targets companies at an inflection point—typically with proven product-market fit and initial revenue traction—where the firm's operational involvement can meaningfully accelerate the path to category leadership through go-to-market investment, talent upgrading, international expansion, and strategic bolt-on acquisitions. The fund holds concentrated positions, preferring fewer, higher-conviction bets to a broad spray-and-pray portfolio approach.Nexa Equity's first fund established the firm's approach to vertical software investing and generated early returns that validated the thesis. With Fund II, Nexa scales the platform with greater capital to pursue larger platform investments and more ambitious buy-and-build strategies across vertical categories. The firm draws on its operators-as-investors model—where team members have scaled SaaS businesses themselves—to provide founders and management teams with practical, relevant guidance during the ownership period. Nexa Equity Fund II is positioned to capitalize on a period of heightened consolidation opportunity in vertical SaaS, as category leaders emerge from the competitive rationalization of the 2021-2023 overfunding cycle and begin to acquire weaker peers at attractive multiples.

Nexus brings a distinctive dual-market perspective, leveraging deep networks in Silicon Valley and India's major technology ecosystems to identify founders building companies with the potential to define new categories globally.

Nordic Capital Evolution Fund (Evolution I) is a €1.2 billion mid-market private equity buyout fund managed by Nordic Capital, a leading sector-specialist private equity firm with a 35-year operational history across the Nordic and Northern European markets. Reaching final close on July 1, 2021, in a record fundraising period of just three months, Evolution I is the inaugural fund in Nordic Capital's dedicated mid-market vehicle series, designed to apply the firm's proven large-cap value creation model to a broader universe of mid-sized European companies. The fund closed at the hard cap and was significantly oversubscribed. Evolution Fund targets control buyout investments in mid-market companies across Northern Europe, with equity commitments typically ranging from EUR 35 million to EUR 150 million and enterprise values of EUR 50 million to EUR 300 million. The fund concentrates on three core sectors aligned with Nordic Capital's institutional expertise: Healthcare; Technology & Payments; and Financial Services. Building on the same value creation toolkit deployed in Nordic Capital's flagship buyout series—emphasising digital transformation, talent development, internationalisation, and operational efficiency—Evolution I seeks to capture structural growth opportunities in the Northern European mid-market, a segment historically underserved by dedicated large-cap buyout vehicles of equivalent quality. The fund attracted a geographically well-diversified institutional investor base with European LPs representing approximately 57% of commitments, followed by Asian investors at 19%, North American investors at 19%, and Middle Eastern investors at approximately 5%. By investor type, asset managers and advisers represent roughly 40%, public and private pension funds 30%, sovereign wealth funds 20%, and endowments and family offices 10%. Evolution I proved the concept for a standalone mid-market series: its successor, Nordic Capital Evolution II, closed at the EUR 2 billion hard cap in December 2024, 65% larger and raised within just four months, confirming deep institutional demand for the strategy.

Nordic Capital Evolution II is a mid-market buyout fund managed by Nordic Capital Advisors, a leading Northern European private equity firm founded in 1989 and headquartered in Jersey with offices across Stockholm, London, Frankfurt, New York, and other major financial centres. The fund achieved its final close on December 20, 2024, raising EUR 2 billion at its hard cap — 65 percent larger than its predecessor, Evolution I, which raised EUR 1.2 billion in 2021. The target of EUR 1.4 billion was substantially exceeded, and the fund was fully subscribed within four months of launch with meaningful excess demand. Institutional investors representing public and private pension funds (41%), asset managers (26%), sovereign wealth funds (14%), family offices and foundations (13%), and financial institutions (6%) committed capital, drawn from Europe (41%), the Americas (35%), Asia (21%), and the Middle East (3%). Nordic Capital manages more than EUR 25 billion in committed capital across its flagship large-cap series and the Evolution mid-market platform. Nordic Capital Evolution II targets control buyouts and non-cyclical growth opportunities in Northern European mid-market companies with enterprise values of EUR 100 million to EUR 400–500 million. The fund applies a subsector-specialist investment model across four core sectors: Healthcare, Technology & Payments, Financial Services, and Services & Industrial Tech, with deep operational expertise driving value creation through management support, add-on acquisitions, and strategic repositioning. Structured as an Article 8 fund under the EU Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation, it integrates ESG considerations throughout deal sourcing, due diligence, and portfolio management. The fund is domiciled in Luxembourg and primarily targets investments in the Nordic region, with global reach for its Healthcare and Technology & Payments verticals. Evolution II is the second vehicle in Nordic Capital's dedicated mid-market programme, building on the Evolution I franchise launched in 2021. Nordic Capital's broader track record spans over 125 investments across more than 35 years of private equity investing in Northern Europe, including sector-defining platform build-ups in healthcare services, financial software, and B2B services. The Evolution series addresses the EUR 100–500 million enterprise value segment of the market, a distinct tier from Nordic Capital's flagship funds, enabling the firm to capture value-creation opportunities in a less contested part of the buyout landscape while leveraging the full depth of Nordic Capital's sector expertise and operational resources.

Nordic Capital Fund IX is a €4.3 billion private equity buyout fund managed by Nordic Capital, a leading sector-specialist firm headquartered in Jersey with roots dating to 1989.

The fund is the ninth vehicle in Nordic Capital's flagship buyout series, continuing a multi-decade track record of control investments in Northern European market leaders. Fund IX deploys capital across five core sectors: Healthcare; Technology & Payments; Financial Services; Consumer & Retail; and Industrial Goods & Services. The investment strategy centres on control buyouts of businesses with defensible market positions, where Nordic Capital's operating model—emphasising digital transformation, internationalisation, and management development—can generate structural value improvement over a typically five- to seven-year hold period. While the primary geographic mandate spans the Nordic and Northern European markets, Fund IX also pursues global healthcare opportunities where Nordic Capital's deep sector expertise provides a meaningful sourcing edge. The fund attracted a geographically diverse institutional investor base: North America (approx. 40%), Europe (35%), Asia (15%), and the Middle East and South America (10%). By investor type, public and private pension funds represent roughly 35% of commitments, sovereign wealth funds 20%, fund-of-funds 15%, family offices 15%, and financial institutions and endowments 15%. More than 70% of commitments came from investors who had backed predecessor Nordic Capital funds, reflecting high conviction in the firm's EUR 26 billion investment track record across approximately 150 companies since inception.

OGBC Premier PQ Fund is a specialized co-investment vehicle established by OGBC Group, a Singapore-headquartered multi-strategy technology investment platform founded by Jayden Wei. OGBC — whose name stands for Open. Grow. Build. Connect. — integrates venture capital, private equity, multi-family office services, and an innovation hub within a unified investment platform with offices across Asia-Pacific and North America. The Premier PQ Fund was formed to facilitate OGBC's participation in the January 2026 Series C funding round of PsiQuantum Corporation, the utility-scale fault-tolerant quantum computing company backed by NVIDIA, Temasek, BlackRock, and the Australian Government. The fund name abbreviation 'PQ' refers to PsiQuantum or Photonic Quantum, reflecting the fund's dedicated quantum computing thesis. OGBC Group's investment philosophy targets frontier and deep technology companies at their infrastructure development phase, with specific emphasis on quantum computing, artificial intelligence infrastructure, blockchain and digital assets, advanced semiconductors, biotechnology, and programmable financial infrastructure. Rather than investing in speculative early-stage ventures, OGBC seeks companies that have demonstrated technical feasibility and are scaling toward commercial deployment. The Premier PQ Fund represents OGBC's thesis that quantum computing infrastructure will form a foundational layer of the next computing paradigm, and that co-investing alongside deep-pocketed technology-focused sovereign funds and strategic investors at the Series C stage provides meaningful risk mitigation while capturing asymmetric upside. OGBC's broader investment portfolio spans multiple vehicles, including the C1 Fund (NYSE: CFND), a listed closed-end fund in which Jayden Wei was the founding investor in late 2022, focused on private digital assets and blockchain infrastructure companies that generate revenue and validate real-world demand.

The fund was structured as a complement to Oval Park Capital's flagship vehicle, OPC Venture Fund I (closed at $20.5 million in 2021), enabling the firm to pursue follow-on investments in its strongest existing portfolio companies at the Series A and Series B stages while also selectively backing new breakthrough physical technology companies solving mission-critical global challenges.

Oval Park Capital manages a second fund, OPC Venture Fund II, which was in preparation for launch in 2026, building on the combined platform's mission to deploy capital into North American deep tech and hardtech companies across underserved innovation ecosystems.
