Emerging Managers

The UK firm's oversubscribed Fund III closed after just five months of fundraising, buoyed by returning LPs such as Sofina, Granite Asia and Hillman Family Foundations, and new LPs including Horsley Bridge Partners.

Tenzin Seldon explains how she convinced LPs like Beneficient, Pivotal Foundation and the Pritzker family to back a first-time climate fund from a solo GP.

The London-based venture firm, which backs future-of-learning and future-of-work start-ups, is 'seeing more receptivity' from American LPs, says Brighteye co-founder.

The Chicago-based firm closed on $200m for its sophomore fund, with LPs including state retirement funds, funds of funds, endowments and large family offices.

While the firm's venture capital and growth equity team favors re-ups with existing fund relationships, it spends a disproportionate amount of time with new managers to learn what's emerging in the market.

The fund-of-funds manager closed on $50m for its debut fund, with plans to back pre-seed and seed-stage funds primarily in the US and India.

Fund II, which closed on $35m, attracted commitments from Reinsurance Group of America, MassMutual, Bank of America and the Stellar Development Foundation.

The Canadian VC's sophomore fund, which is targeting $125m, held a first close on $58m, with support from Ceniarth, Equality Fund, KfW, Skoll Foundation and Wire Group.

Ryan Moore has closed on $78.5m for Revenant Ventures' debut fund, a regulatory filing shows.
