Pegasus Tech Ventures raises $300M across five corporate venture funds
What's the deal? Pegasus Tech Ventures secured more than $300 million in new commitments across five corporate venture capital funds set up in the first half of 2026. The funds span food and beverage, software, manufacturing, and advanced technologies.
What's the endgame? Pegasus runs a Venture Capital-as-a-Service platform that lets corporations build and manage investment programs without setting up full internal venture teams. It handles fund formation, strategy, startup sourcing, due diligence, deal execution, portfolio management, and commercial ties between startups and corporate partners.
Why now? Pegasus said demand is rising as established businesses chase access to advances in artificial intelligence, robotics, automation, cybersecurity, and advanced manufacturing.
Corporate venture programs can give companies earlier visibility into emerging technologies, plus opportunities to invest in, partner with, or eventually acquire startups.
By the numbers: Pegasus manages more than 40 funds and over $2 billion in assets. It has backed more than 300 companies globally.
The firm also runs the Startup World Cup, which links entrepreneurs, investors, and corporate partners across roughly 200 cities on six continents.
The signal: "Corporate venture capital has evolved from a competitive advantage to a strategic imperative," said founder and chief executive officer Anis Uzzaman. Pegasus argues venture investing is becoming a broad corporate strategy rather than an activity confined to technology companies.
