Summary
Vintage Investment Partners, a global venture capital platform founded in 2003, announced it has raised $920 million in new capital, bringing its assets under management to over $4.8 billion, according to a PR Newswire release. The firm, which focuses exclusively on venture and has offices in Tel Aviv, London and New York, said the capital expands its ability to invest across leading venture funds and venture-backed companies on both a primary and secondary basis.
The firm framed the raise against several structural shifts in venture. The release states that companies are staying private longer, that more value is being created before public markets see it, and that AI is helping produce a new generation of high-growth technology companies that reach significant scale while remaining private. It also cites the Q2 2026 PitchBook-NVCA Venture Monitor, which found that just three firms accounted for nearly half of all venture capital raised in the first half of 2026. Vintage argues that this concentration makes access to the most sought-after managers increasingly difficult to obtain.
Co-Managing Partner Asaf Horesh said that many of the most successful founders continue to partner with a relatively small group of highly sought-after venture managers, and that this is where Vintage invests. Vintage says it has raised more than $1.1 billion over the past three years across primary, secondary and co-investment strategies. Co-Managing Partner Abe Finkelstein said the firm's place with managers is earned through work, a high bar for investment selection, and long-standing relationships.
The release also announced personnel changes. Tzlil Kovetz was promoted to Partner, reflecting her progression from Associate over more than five years. Ilan Leiferman, Chief Value Officer, was promoted to Partner; he leads Value+, the firm's value creation platform, which the release says connects portfolio companies with global enterprises and has helped generate hundreds of millions of dollars in commercial opportunities. Vintage also appointed Brachie Sprung as Chief Investor Relations Officer. Current partners named in the release include Asaf Horesh, Abe Finkelstein, Amit Frenkel, Iren Reznikov and Leyla Holterud.
The firm describes its Fund of Funds, Secondaries and Growth strategies as providing multiple access points to the venture market, and says Value+ connects its companies and managers with a network of more than 650 leading enterprises. The release carries standard disclaimers that past results are not indicative of future performance.
