Headline closes over $950m to invest in early-stage start-ups

Headline, a tech-enabled global venture capital firm, has closed $954 million in new capital across three distinct early-stage funds: Headline US VII, a $408 million North America-focused fund based out of San Francisco; Headline EU VII, a €320 million pan-Europe-focused fund based out of Berlin; and Headline Brazil III, a BRL915 million Latin America-focused fund based out of São Paulo.

Founded in 1999, Headline will use these three new funds to continue to utilise its global team and an data-informed investment approach to identify, track, and invest in the fastest growing early-stage technology companies at the Seed and Series A. Each fund is regionally focused and independently managed by its respective local Headline team. However, the firm unites under a single Headline culture, technology, and investment philosophy.

Over a decade in deployment, the firm’s in-house built AI sourcing system, EVA, seeks to cut through bias to pinpoint companies that redefine industries regardless of background, ethnicity, gender, or headquarter location. Headline’s proprietary business analytics platform, ATHENA, quantifies product-market fit at the earliest stages by measuring the signals of customer obsession.
