These funds enable them to deploy significant capital into promising ventures. Typical first checks range from $20 million to $40 million, though they have the capacity to invest up to $50 million in larger opportunities. The broader Viola Group, encompassing various investment vehicles from seed to growth and credit, collectively manages over $4 billion in assets under management, underscoring its substantial presence and influence in the global technology investment landscape. Their portfolio includes notable successes such as the IPOs of WalkMe and the acquisition of ironSource, demonstrating their ability to identify and nurture high-value technology companies.
