“We’re proud to have raised this sixth-generation fund with the backing of a diverse group of international LPs. A 95% re-up rate speaks volumes about the trust in Ventech’s performance and core beliefs. We're also honored to see over a dozen former founders return as investors, one of the strongest endorsements we could receive. The entire team is deeply grateful for the continued trust of our LPs and the founders who chose us to stand by their side," claims Jean Bourcereau, Chairman and Managing Partner at Ventech.
