Molten Ventures Growth Fund targets Series B and later-stage growth-equity investments in high-growth UK and European technology companies, with a stated focus on space, AI, fintech, quantum, deeptech and hardware.

The fund is designed to provide category-leading European founders with the growth capital needed to scale into global leaders, an area the firm says is often underserved relative to earlier-stage funding.

Molten Ventures Growth Fund reached a first close of $237M in September 2026, toward a $474M target.

British Business Bank committed $102M as cornerstone investor, alongside a $135M commitment from Molten Ventures' own balance sheet.

The Growth Fund sits alongside Molten's broader platform, which has invested over $948M across more than 40 growth-stage deals over the past decade, and complements the firm's existing Secondaries strategy.
