Industry Ventures is a venture capital platform founded in 2000 that pioneered flexible capital solutions across the venture life cycle. The firm manages over $8 billion in assets and operates four global offices in San Francisco, Washington DC, London, and Boston. Its complementary investment strategies span seed and early-stage investing (backing emerging VC managers), mid-stage direct investments, late-stage secondaries (providing liquidity to shareholders and fund investors), and tech buyout (helping profitable venture-backed software companies exit). Effective January 2, 2026, Goldman Sachs completed its acquisition of Industry Ventures, and the team joined Goldman Sachs' External Investing Group (XIG). Over its 25-year track record, Industry Ventures has evolved from a pioneer in secondary investments to a leading provider of flexible venture capital solutions, cultivating relationships with specialized venture capital leaders and supporting companies from pre-seed to pre-IPO stages.
