8th February 2025 – United States private markets investment firm Hamilton Lane ($956 billion AUM) has raised $615 million for the new Venture Access Fund investing in top-performing, oversubscribed funds & companies via primary & secondary transactions.

The Fund’s unique composition of primary and secondary transactions is designed to accelerate capital back to investors and mitigate the J-curve, providing Limited Partners with a fee-efficient, best-in-class VC solution. Building on Hamilton Lane’s extensive track record and nearly $117 billion in AUM and AUA* across venture and growth equity, VAF is the firm’s first globally distributed venture vehicle and represents an evolution of its Venture and Growth Equity Platform. The fundraise centered on attractive venture capital market dynamics and LP demand, with participation from a group of global and diversified investors, spanning public and corporate pension funds, financial institutions, Taft-Hartley plans, family offices and foundations and endowments … … The firm has been active in the venture and growth equity space for nearly three decades, with deep experience investing across separately managed accounts, including its annual commingled Hamilton Lane Venture Capital Fund series, which was first established in 2009.

This achievement is a testament to the confidence our clients and investors have in our ability to access premier venture opportunities and navigate a dynamic market.

Our institutional approach to portfolio construction and strong relationships aimed to deliver a high-quality experience to investors of all types.”
Matt Pellini, Co-Head of Venture and Growth Equity at Hamilton Lane: “For those with scale, expertise and strong relationships, the current VC market presents compelling opportunities, driven by active company formation and rapid value creation from AI and other disruptive technologies, and lower overall capital availability. Specifically, the opportunity set within the secondary market is robust, as the trend of companies staying private longer persists, causing existing shareholders to seek alternative methods of liquidity.”
