Howard Morgan, Chair and General Partner at B Capital.
B Capital, an investment firm, today announced the final close of B Capital Ascent Fund III, L.P. (”Ascent Fund III” or the “Fund”) at its hard cap of $500 million in aggregate capital commitments. The Fund was oversubscribed and nearly doubled the size of its predecessor, B Capital Ascent Fund II, which raised $254 million in July 2022.
The Fund will invest primarily in the Seed, Series A and Series B rounds of companies developing next-generation technologies across healthcare, enterprise, energy and the next frontier, with a focus on key innovation hubs in North America and Asia.
B Capital believes AI is driving a new wave of innovation across every sector of the economy, creating opportunities for founders building the foundational technologies that will power the next generation of global industries. Ascent Fund III has already invested in more than 20 high-conviction companies across AI infrastructure, robotics, healthcare and frontier technologies.
“AI is creating extraordinary opportunities across every industry,” said Howard Morgan, Chair and General Partner at B Capital.
“We have entered a technology cycle that is reshaping industries and business models worldwide,” said Eduardo Saverin, Co-Founder and Co-CEO of B Capital. “The most meaningful opportunities will not come from technology alone, but from entrepreneurs applying AI to transform industries such as healthcare, enterprise, energy and the next frontier.”
“We’re grateful for our limited partners’ continued confidence in B Capital as we closed Ascent Fund III at our $500 million hard cap,” said Raj Ganguly, Co-Founder and Co-CEO of B Capital. “This Fund advances our multi-stage platform, partnering with exceptional founders early and supporting them with capital and operational expertise at every phase of growth.”
