Fresh capital brings Vintage to over $4.8 billion in AUM, expanding its ability to partner with leading and capacity-constrained venture managers and invest across a growing universe of venture-backed companies.

TEL AVIV, Israel, Oct. 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Vintage Investment Partners (“Vintage”), a global venture capital platform founded in 2003, today announced it has raised $920 million in new capital bringing Vintage’s assets under management to over $4.8 billion. The capital further expands the firm’s ability to invest across leading venture funds and venture-backed companies on a primary and secondary basis at a time when more value is being created in private markets, portfolios are maturing, and demand for venture exposure and liquidity continues to grow.

The fresh capital comes at a pivotal moment for venture. Companies are staying private longer, and more of their value is being created before the public markets ever see it. Meanwhile, AI is accelerating innovation, helping create a new generation of high-growth technology companies that are reaching significant scale while remaining private. Capital is also concentrating at the very top of venture. According to the Q2 2026 PitchBook-NVCA Venture Monitor, just three firms accounted for nearly half of all venture capital raised in the first half of 2026. As capital concentrates among a relatively small number of firms, access becomes increasingly difficult to earn, and Vintage has spent more than two decades earning its place within that ecosystem.

“More value is being created in private markets, over shorter timelines, than at any point in the history of venture,” said Asaf Horesh, Co-Managing Partner. “In a moment like this, one thing hasn’t changed, it’s only become more decisive: many of the most successful founders continue to partner with a relatively small group of highly sought-after venture managers. That is exactly where we invest, and earning a seat with them is the hardest, most important work we do. With more than $1.1 billion raised over the past three years across primary, secondary and co-investment strategies, we can support fund managers, companies and investors in more ways, while helping address the growing demand for liquidity across the venture ecosystem.”

Focused exclusively on venture and with offices in Tel Aviv, London, and New York, Vintage has built long-standing relationships with many of the venture ecosystem’s most sought-after managers in the U.S., Europe and Israel, while developing proprietary data and insights across thousands of venture funds and companies it tracks. The raise also marks another step for Vintage, as alongside current partners Asaf Horesh, Abe Finkelstein, Amit Frenkel, Iren Reznikov and Leyla Holterud, the firm has promoted Tzlil Kovetz to Partner, recognizing her progression from Associate to Partner and reflecting her contributions across the investment platform for the last five plus years. In addition, Ilan Leiferman, Vintage’s Chief Value Officer was also promoted to Partner. Ilan leads Value+, Vintage’s value creation platform, which connects portfolio companies with global enterprises from our network of hundreds, and has helped generate hundreds of millions of dollars in commercial opportunities across the firm’s ecosystem. Vintage also recently appointed Brachie Sprung as Chief Investor Relations Officer, bringing two decades of global experience across venture capital, fundraising, investor relations and strategic communications.

“We are deeply grateful to our LPs for the trust they continue to place in Vintage,” said Abe Finkelstein, Co-Managing Partner. “We never assume our place in the room; we earn it, by doing the work, holding a very high bar for how and where we invest, and putting years of relationships and market understanding to work for our investors. In a market like this, that discipline matters more than it ever has. The promotions of Tzlil Kovetz and Ilan Leiferman to Partner, and the appointment of Brachie Sprung as Chief Investor Relations Officer, reflect our commitment to building a multi-generational institution and strengthening the team that will help lead Vintage’s next chapter.”
