CerraCap Ventures and Impact Venture Capital have merged to form CerraCap Impact Venture Capital (CIVC), establishing one of the most globally connected venture platforms. The unified firm combines an extensive network of corporate customers, corporate investors, and strategic acquirers, positioning CIVC as a differentiated partner for founders seeking rapid commercial validation and scalable enterprise adoption.
The new platform integrates CerraCap’s Sales & Scale commercialization engine with Impact Venture Capital’s Corporate Intelligence Platform, a corporate development and investment network spanning Fortune 500 companies and global strategic investors. Together, these capabilities accelerate startups’ access to enterprise customers, co-investors, CVC groups, and potential acquirers—compressing the path from early-stage innovation to revenue and eventual exit.
CIVC will invest at the intersection of enterprise AI, cybersecurity, digital health, national security, and advanced computing. These are sectors where commercial traction often depends on complex buyer ecosystems, and where early access to global corporate networks is especially critical. With a combined presence across North America, Europe, India, and emerging markets, CIVC enables founders to build international customer and investor relationships far earlier in their journey.
The merger formalizes a longstanding collaboration between the two firms based on aligned values, complementary strengths, and a shared commitment to delivering commercial outcomes beyond capital. CIVC and its partners are also active contributors to the National Venture Capital Association’s CVC programs and serve as leaders within the Kauffman Fellows Corporate Venture Capital Special Interest Group, reinforcing the firm’s role in advancing corporate–startup collaboration across the innovation ecosystem.
CerraCap Impact Venture Capital will continue building partnerships that connect founders directly with the enterprises and government stakeholders shaping the next decade of technology adoption and industry transformation.
