ACME Capital, a San Francisco, CA-based early-stage venture firm investing in pioneering founders, closed over $300m for Fund IV and its adjacent Opportunity Fund.
The capital will continue to accelerate the firm’s model of closely partnering with founders early in their journeys, supporting their ideas shaping society, business, and the environment.
Co-founded by Hany Nada and Scott Stanford, ACME began investing from its $181 million Fund III in 2019. ACME’s Fund IV investment strategy will continue to focus on early-stage investments built on the belief that innovation is driven by platform shifts, with each shift fundamentally changing the way we live, learn, and work.
Along with Fund IV, ACME’s largest fundraise to date, ACME has also deployed $155m in capital through LP co-investment vehicles over the past year. This brings aggregate capital commitments to $1.5 billion.
The firm also announced two Partner promotions: Alex Fayette and Aike Ho. Fayette has been with the firm since 2016 and focuses on frontier technology. Ho joined the firm in 2017 and has helped lead ACME’s pioneering investments in digital health.
ACME began investing from Fund IV in December 2021.
