Press Release

Targeting $500M+ Across 3 Vintages With AI-Driven Selection and Liquidity Innovation

Singapore / Scandinavia, May 19, 2025 — Investigate VC, a global early-stage venture capital firm focused on high-growth startups with defensible network effects, today announces the launch of its new fund series - Fund 2 (I-III). The platform targets over $500 million in assets under management across three vintages (2025, 2027, and 2029), scaling a proven investment strategy with global reach and institutional-grade structure.
 
The new series builds on the success of Investigates origin fund (Fund 1) — which achieved a 28% net IRR and a 5x MOIC — and leverages a powerful combination of human expertise, AI-driven selection tools, and proprietary deal sourcing.
 
The first new fund, Investigate Fund 2 (I), targets a $150M close to back early-stage companies across Asia, Europe, and North America.
