UK impact VC Eka Ventures closes second fund at $107M
"Eka Ventures has closed its second fund at $107 million, bringing its total assets under management to $200 million and making it the UK's largest early-stage impact VC investing across health, wellbeing, and sustainability."
"The investment thesis remains unchanged: consumer technology companies operating at the intersection of preventative healthcare, sustainable consumption, and widening access to essential services such as housing, insurance, and education."
"Eka says its debut fund's performance supports the thesis, claiming Fund I is in the top 5% for both DPI and TVPI in its 2021 vintage, though these figures have not been independently verified."
