Founders Circle closes third fund on $355m
San Francisco-headquartered venture capital house Founders Circle Capital has closed its third fund on $355m.
With this closing, the firm's total assets under management have reached nearly $1bn.
Since its inception in 2012, Founders Circle has invested in 73 venture-backed startups, 12 of which were publicly listed and 19 were sold at a public market multiple.
Among its European investments was the participation in an $11m funding round for French search engine Algolia, alongside Salesforce Ventures, Alven Capital, DAG Ventures and Owl Rock.
Founders Circle Capital III deploys flexible capital to meet the needs of growth-stage venture-backed companies. It provides both primary and secondary investments, tailor-made financing programmes, institutional liquidity and other unique structures to address a company's financing needs through its lifecycle.
The firm also offers support from a private leadership community called "The Circle", which connects more than 250 CEOs and chief financial officers, who collectively engage in peer-to-peer professional development.
