Endeavor Catalyst has closed its fifth venture capital fund, Endeavor Catalyst Fund V, at $320 million, surpassing its original $300 million target. This brings the organization’s total assets under management to more than $850 million.

Initial reports highlighted participation from Itaú Ventures, the corporate venture capital arm of Itaú Unibanco, which is using the capital to gain a ‘global radar’ for emerging technologies. The fund has placed a significant emphasis on the European market, which is the firm’s fastest-growing investment region.

Subsequent details revealed that Greece emerged as the largest investor participant, with 17 Greek investors—including the country’s four systemic banks and various business families—committing $70 million. This contribution represents approximately 22% of the total fund capital. The fund intends to focus on global technology trends, specifically artificial intelligence and defense technology, targeting companies with Greek founders.
