Molten Ventures Growth Fund First Close

Molten Ventures announces the first close of our Growth Fund at £175 million, including a £75 million cornerstone commitment from the British Business Bank. 

“There is no shortage of exceptional founders or technology businesses in the UK and Europe; what they too often lack is sufficient growth capital to help them become global leaders. This Fund gives Molten greater firepower to back our highest-conviction companies at Series B and beyond, build meaningful ownership positions and channel capital into the next generation of growth.” -
