Thesis
Pledge Ventures is a UK-based venture capital firm, founded in 2022 and operating as the corporate venture capital arm of Founders Pledge. Headquartered in London, they focus on investing in high-growth technology companies, particularly within the information technology and software-as-a-service (SaaS) sectors, with additional interest in fintech, healthtech, and sustainable energy. Key criteria include founders being members of Founders Pledge, the company raising at least $20 million in a Series B or later round, and the participation of a top-tier venture capital firm. Pledge Ventures aims to invest up to $3.5 million per round, not exceeding 5% of the fund's committed capital. They leverage their partnership with Founders Pledge for proprietary deal flow and co-investment opportunities with leading VCs. The firm's strategy aims to generate strong returns for LPs while also directing significant profits to support Founders Pledge's charitable work, donating up to 50% of annual management fees and 85% of carried interest. The first fund had a target size of $53 million, with $44.5 million closed as of January 2024. As of May 2026, Pledge Ventures had made 34 investments.
