Vintage Investment Partners has closed its fourth growth-stage venture fund, raising $200m, exceeding its original target. The fund will aim to invest in 15-20 growth-stage technology start-ups in Israel, Europe and the US. Growth IV will work in parallel to the firm’s Fund of Funds and Secondary Funds. Vintage’s assets under management now total around $4bn. Co-founder Abe Finkelstein said the fundraising environment for venture capital had been tough but the company closed Growth IV above target through strong support from its limited partners.

The new fund will bring Vintage’s total assets under management to approximately $4bn, while a fund announced in 2022 raised $632m.
