Lisbon and London-based Creative Capital Ventures (CCV) has launched a new €18 million fund targeting early-stage tech companies and intellectual property (IP) acquisitions.
With investments from Saratoga Capital, Anthill Ventures, and other institutional and private investors, CCV aims to expand the fund to €50 million by early 2025.
Investing in High-Growth Sectors
The fund will focus on high-potential industries like sports tech, media, entertainment, and lifestyle, particularly in health and wellness. It is set to support startups developing innovative consumer products, digital media, and tech-driven IP. Initial investments are expected by the end of 2024, with plans for 18 primary investments and 11 follow-on rounds.
A Venture Studio Model for Modern Innovation
Founded in 2024 through the merger of Impact Counsel, Rocket Studios, and Pivotal, Creative Capital Ventures operates as a venture studio, blending traditional venture funding with strategic operational support. The team, led by John Darling and Rich Britton, has already backed 150 startups, emphasizing a creative approach to IP and immersive experiences, including music rights.
This new fund reflects CCV’s commitment to empowering startups in the evolving landscape of content creation and consumption.
