London’s Stride VC raised second $138.6M seed fund, hunts for third partner
Stride VC, a London-based seed investment fund, has raised its second fund, which will be £100 million ($138.6 million) identical to its first fund. The fund will invest primarily in London startups but also look at select European opportunities.
The breakup of the LPs in the fund is 10% fund of funds, 60% other institutional, 28% family offices and 10% individuals. Stride said some 80% of this new fund came from returning LPs, and 20% from two new unnamed institutional investors. Stride does not have any public or government investment.
Investors include the founders of Cazoo, King, PillPack and Dott, and institutional investors such as Delin Ventures, Draper Esprit, Mubadala and CNP (Groupe Frere).
