“We are proud to continue our partnerships with high-performing managers and companies that are driving innovation,” said General Partner Edwin Poston. “In the current market, we’ve seen a flight to quality, where only the best founders, ideas, companies, and funds can secure capital.”
TrueBridge is launching its first secondaries and blockchain funds. “The venture secondaries market is giving limited partners new access to high-performing assets with greater visibility and potentially shorter hold periods, alongside possible discount pricing,” Partner Andrew Winslow stated. “Our dedicated secondaries fund highlights our commitment to capitalizing on this growing market for limited partners.”
General Partner Mel Williams commented on the blockchain fund, saying, “We recognized the potential of blockchain technology early on, and this dedicated fund underscores our ongoing commitment to this transformative sector.”
Founded in 2007, TrueBridge focuses exclusively on venture capital, investing in top-performing, access-constrained venture funds primarily targeting early-stage IT, as well as directly in select venture and growth-stage technology companies. “We build portfolios to help partners access opportunities in venture capital through our established commingled funds and customized solutions,” the firm stated.
