Rosberg Ventures is a mission-driven venture capital firm founded by former Formula 1 world champion Nico Rosberg. Since launching after his retirement from racing in 2016, Rosberg has grown the firm into a fast-moving, founder-focused VC targeting startups that create global impact.
Fund III closed in January 2026 with $100 million in commitments. The fund was oversubscribed, with capped allocations and strong demand from long-time LPs. With this raise, Rosberg Ventures now manages over $200 million in total assets.
Fund III continues the firm’s focus on high-impact startups, expanding its reach and check size to support founders from early growth through scale. The capital will fuel investments in AI-driven platforms, software infrastructure, and sustainable technologies. Rosberg Ventures positions itself as a bridge between corporate Europe and world-class startups, helping companies tap into strategic partnerships while scaling globally.
