Disruptive Ventures has raised $7.5 billion toward a $10 billion megafund, cementing its place among elite venture managers. The firm plans to deploy capital into approximately ten late-stage technology companies over the next 24 months.
The move puts Disruptive alongside Thrive Capital and Andreessen Horowitz, both of which closed $10 billion-plus funds this year. Founded in 2012 by Alex Davis, Disruptive has backed high-profile companies including a deal between Nvidia and Groq.
Historically, Disruptive relied on special purpose vehicles (SPVs) for investments. That strategy is faltering: leading startups including Anthropic and OpenAI have restricted secondary transactions involving SPVs, forcing venture firms to shift their deployment methods.
Disruptive appointed Ash Spiegelberg as Chief Strategy Officer as the firm approaches $10 billion in assets under management by 2026.
