About This Fund
Adams Street Partners has successfully closed its inaugural European venture capital fund, the Adams Street European Venture Fund 2023, securing over €270 million in commitments. This amount significantly surpasses the initial target of €200 million, reflecting strong investor confidence in Europe’s growing startup ecosystem. The fund seeks to capitalize on Adams Street’s global investment expertise to identify and back innovative early-stage companies across the continent.
The fund focuses primarily on the technology and healthcare sectors. Its capital is deployed with 70% allocated to primary commitments in European venture funds, and the remaining 30% toward co-investments and secondary transactions. This hybrid model provides exposure to a diverse set of opportunities while maintaining flexibility to support breakout companies directly.
Leveraging decades of venture experience and a vast global network, Adams Street aims to generate long-term value through a disciplined approach. With deep relationships across Europe’s VC landscape, the firm is well-positioned to gain access to top-tier opportunities and help entrepreneurs scale their businesses.
