Bain Capital Ventures Closes $1.9 Billion in Tech Investment Funds
(Bloomberg) -- Bain Capital Ventures, the venture arm of the namesake private equity giant, has raised $1.9 billion across two new venture funds targeting startups of all sizes.
Most Read from Bloomberg
The funds, which set a new record for Bain Capital’s 20-year-old venture capital business, will target investments in fintech, infrastructure, apps and commerce technology, BCV said in a statement Tuesday. The raise eclipses the $1.3 billion BCV announced in May 2021 to invest in earlier-stage companies.
The firm also launched a $560 million fund last year, exclusively targeting crypto-related companies.
“Entrepreneurs want to build alongside investors who’ve done so successfully, and our team of operators, builders and experienced investors delivers on that promise,” BCV Partner Enrique Salem said in a statement.
The funding size is notable in an industry that pulled back in 2022. Venture capital investments dropped globally last year, and VCs showed more caution amid public market turmoil.
Bain’s new funds were over-subscribed and will invest in companies of all stages from seed to growth, BCV said. The venture group has also been adding to its investment teams and bringing in talent from other firms, the company said.
The group will focus in particular on startups that serve other businesses rather than consumer-facing technology, BCV partner Matt Harris said in an interview with Bloomberg Television on Tuesday.
Harris also said that there was momentum in the tech industry, despite the current market downturn. “I think technology is moving very quickly,” Harris said. “What we found is that investors are still very interested, and this may be, in fact, a buying opportunity.”

Japan's factory activity shrank in February at the fastest pace in over two years, a private survey showed, highlighting companies' struggles amid a global economic slowdown, raw material inflation and policymakers' calls for higher wages. The final au Jibun Bank Japan Manufacturing Purchasing Managers' Index released on Wednesday fell to 47.7 in February from January's 48.9. "Both new orders and production levels, which make up 55% of the headline PMI figure, fell at the fastest pace since July 2020 as weak domestic demand and a global economic slowdown hindered sales and output volumes," said economist Usamah Bhatti at S&P Global Market Intelligence, which compiles the survey.

The venture firm, one of Bain’s 11 financial divisions, has raised $1.9 billion across two funds, one for seed to growth-stage startups that hovers around $1.4 billion, and one for later-stage opportunities that closed around a third of that, at $493 million.
