Molten Ventures completed the acquisition of Forward Partners for $52m.

Molten Ventures, a venture capital firm, completed the acquisition of Forward Partners, an early stage venture capital firm, for $52m. “The acquisition of Forward Partners will enable us to diversify the blend of maturity of our assets and provide a broader pipeline for follow-on investment. It follows soon after our acquisition of a stake in Seedcamp III, which also diversified asset maturity but with the addition of exposure to high-quality assets with nearer term visibility on realisation opportunities. This ongoing expansion of the platform helps position the business to capture opportunities at attractive valuations in what is increasingly a buyers’ market for venture capital,” Martin Davis, Molten Ventures CEO.
