In a notable development for the venture capital ecosystem, Collide Capital has successfully closed its second fund at $95 million, reinforcing its commitment to early-stage investing despite a tough global fundraising environment.
Founded in 2021 by Brian Hollins and Aaron Samuels, the firm focuses on high-growth sectors such as fintech, supply chain innovation, and the future of work. The latest fundraise reflects strong investor confidence in the firm’s strategy, performance, and network.
Collide Capital previously launched its debut fund of $66 million in 2022. Since then, it has built a portfolio of 75 startups, establishing itself as a growing player in the early-stage investment space.
With its second fund, the firm plans to deploy capital over the next 3.5 years. It aims to invest in at least 30 companies, focusing on startups at the seed and early growth stages.
The investment strategy includes cheque sizes ranging from $1 million to $3 million. This approach allows the firm to support promising startups early in their journey and help them scale.
At a time when funding for emerging venture firms has become more selective globally, Collide Capital’s successful raise highlights its ability to attract investor trust and identify high-potential opportunities.
The firm continues to focus on sectors undergoing major transformation, positioning itself to capture long-term value in evolving markets.
With Fund II, Collide Capital is set to strengthen its presence in early-stage investing while backing startups shaping the future of finance, operations, and work.
