Crane Venture Partners is a London-founded venture capital firm established in 2015, investing from inception through seed stage in underserved technology hubs worldwide. The firm operates from five cities, London, San Francisco, New York, Singapore, and Bangalore, and has made 138 investments with 10 exits to date. MassMutual Ventures has anchored all of Crane's funds since 2018.
Crane Venture Partners invests at the inception through seed stages, writing checks of $500,000 to $5 million.
The firm focuses on foundational technology across data infrastructure, fintech, AI, and deep tech, with a mandate to find outlier founders in markets it considers underserved by traditional venture capital.
Crane maintains what it calls stage discipline across all of its regions, spanning Europe, the Americas, and Asia-Pacific.
In September 2026, Crane Venture Partners announced $484 million raised across four vehicles: Crane III ($169M), Crane APAC I ($150M), Crane US I ($100M), and Crane Opportunity Fund I ($65M).
MassMutual Ventures has anchored all four funds since 2018 and separately delegates management of a $450 million Europe/APAC portfolio to Crane.
The raise extends Crane's global footprint across London, San Francisco, New York, Singapore, and Bangalore.
