Foundation Capital raised $600 million for its 11th fund, which is 20% more than the previous fund ($500 million). Among its portfolio are Cerebras (valued at $4.25 billion) and Solana. Profit was boosted by deals with EvolutionIQ ($730 million) and Venafi ($1.5 billion). The growth in deal size requires an increase in the fund to maintain a 15–20% stake.

Venture capital firm Foundation Capital has announced the raising of $600 million for its 11th flagship fund, which is 20% larger than the previous $500 million fund closed three years ago.

Founded 30 years ago, the fund specializes in early-stage investments and was the first institutional investor in more than 70% of the companies in its portfolio. Among its successful investments are Cerebras, valued at $4.25 billion, and the blockchain platform Solana.

Recent deals that have increased the fund's returns include the sale of EvolutionIQ to CCC for $730 million and the acquisition of Venafi by CyberArk for $1.5 billion.

Foundation Capital continues to adhere to its strategy but is adapting to market changes: the growing size of early-stage deals requires an increase in the fund size to maintain a 15-20% stake in investee companies.
