Imperium Funds supports Creandum on successful close of $750 million fund
Imperium Funds is pleased to have supported leading venture capital firm Creandum on the successful close of Creandum VIII, its largest fund to date, raising $750 million to back the next generation of technology companies.
The successful fundraise represents another significant milestone for Creandum and builds on its longstanding relationship with Imperium Funds, which has supported the firm across successive fund launches.
Creandum VIII will invest in ambitious early-stage technology businesses, from pre-seed to Series A, across Europe and the United States. The fund is expected to support approximately 30 companies, with a particular focus on identifying exceptional founders and innovative businesses capable of transforming established industries.
The fund follows the successful close of Creandum VII in 2024, which raised €500 million, and reflects continued institutional investor confidence in Creandum's investment strategy and track record.
Founded in 2003, Creandum has established itself as one of the leading early-stage venture capital investors, with early investments in globally recognised businesses including Spotify, Klarna and Depop, alongside more recent technology success stories such as Lovable and Black Forest Labs.
The latest fundraise comes at a time of significant transformation in the technology sector, with artificial intelligence creating new opportunities for entrepreneurs and investors. Creandum has also continued to strengthen its international presence, expanding its San Francisco team alongside its established operations in Stockholm, London and Berlin.
Charlotte Parr, Director, Imperium Funds, said: "We are extremely pleased to have supported Creandum on another successful fund close. Raising $750 million is a significant achievement and reflects the strength of Creandum's investment philosophy, the quality of its team and the confidence it has built among institutional investors.”
"Our longstanding relationship with Creandum is one we are particularly proud of. We understand the importance of providing experienced, responsive and consistent support to international fund managers, allowing them to focus on identifying opportunities and delivering for their investors.”
"As an independent, owner-managed business, we place enormous value on building lasting relationships with our clients, and we look forward to continuing to support Creandum as it enters this exciting next phase."
Imperium Funds provides specialist fund administration services to an international client base, supporting investment managers across the fund lifecycle. Its experience in venture capital and private equity, enables the business to support managers operating across multiple jurisdictions.
Peter Stilwell, Operating Partner at Creandum, said: "The close of Creandum VIII marks an important milestone for our firm and reflects our continued belief in the extraordinary opportunities being created by ambitious founders across Europe and the US.”
"As we have grown internationally, the support of experienced and trusted partners has remained important to our operations. Imperium has been a valued partner over successive funds, providing continuity, expertise and a strong understanding of our requirements.”
"We appreciate the team's commitment and look forward to continuing our relationship as we invest in the next generation of technology businesses."
The announcement comes during Imperium Group's 15th anniversary year, which has seen the independent financial services business continue to strengthen its international presence and specialist capabilities, including the recent acquisition of Midmar Capital.
