LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sinai Capital Partners, a multi-strategy private equity company encompassing Sinai Ventures and New Slate Ventures, announced today that it has raised more than $600 million in new capital between the two funds. A tech-focused venture capital firm, Sinai Ventures has closed $500 million while media fund New Slate Ventures added $100 million. With the additional capital, the combined assets under management by the LA-based group now totals $800 million.
Sinai Ventures, a uniquely global and distributed venture capital fund based in Los Angeles with presence throughout the world, will use the money to invest in late-stage software and technology companies across various categories. Incubated in a multibillion-dollar family office, Sinai Ventures currently has more than 85 portfolio companies including Pinterest, Carta, Roman Health, Compass, Unqork, and Hippo Insurance.
“Much like the entrepreneurs we back, Sinai believes the adoption of technology presents a global opportunity to change lives for the better,” said Managing Partner Jordan Fudge. “To that end, we are mission-driven to discover teams building impactful companies across the world.”
Partner Zach White adds, “We have long been dedicated to the thesis that the power of technology is the key to creating a more prosperous future. Sinai is singularly dedicated to supporting founders with large ideas that are looking to make meaningful changes in the communities we live, work, and invest in.”
Moving forward, Sinai Ventures will look to invest across all stages, with a targeted focus on growth-stage and pre-IPO companies. At $500 million, Sinai Ventures III, L.P. is the single largest Venture Fund in Los Angeles history.
New Slate Ventures finances and produces films, documentaries, and television programs with stories that are intersectional, inclusive, and culturally impactful. The Fund aims to expand its slate of original IPs and grow its business by capitalizing on stories with authentic connections to drive its audiences to action.
