Vintage Raises $920M as More Venture Value Is Created in Private Markets

Published

on

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.”

Lunai Bioworks Announces Receipt of Nasdaq Determination and Intention to Voluntarily Delist and Deregister

Published

on

By

SACRAMENTO, Calif., Oct. 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Lunai Bioworks Inc. (Nasdaq: LNAI) (the “Company”) announced that on October 21, 2026, it received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) stating that the Company no longer complies with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1), which requires minimum stockholders’ equity of $2,500,000. The Company reported a stockholders’ deficit of $(9,024,946) in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2026, and does not meet the alternative market value of listed securities or net income standards. Because the Company is subject to a mandatory Hearings Panel Monitor under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5815(d)(4)(B), Nasdaq staff determined to delist the Company’s securities. Trading in the Company’s common stock on Nasdaq is expected to be suspended at the opening of business on October 30, 2026.

The Company will not request a hearing. Rather than contest the staff determination, the Company’s Board of Directors approved on October 22, 2026 the voluntary withdrawal of the Company’s common stock from listing on Nasdaq under Rule 12d2-2(c) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Board took this action because of the staff determination and the Company’s financial condition, and concluded that the cost of continued listing and SEC reporting is not justified.

The Company notified Nasdaq of its intention on October 22, 2026. The Company intends to file a Form 25 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on or about November 2, 2026, and expects the delisting to become effective on or about November 12, 2026. The Company then intends to file a Form 15 to suspend its SEC reporting obligations, to the extent it is eligible to do so. The Company’s SEC reporting obligations will continue unless and until they are terminated or suspended in accordance with the SEC’s rules.

The Company does not intend to arrange for quotation of its common stock on any over-the-counter market and cannot assure that any trading market for its common stock will exist after trading on Nasdaq is suspended.

Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains forward-looking statements, including statements regarding the expected suspension of trading, the expected timing of the Form 25 and Form 15 filings, and the expected timing of delisting and deregistration. Actual results may differ materially due to risks and uncertainties, including Nasdaq and SEC procedures and the Company’s financial condition. The Company undertakes no obligation to update these statements, except as required by law.
