Headline, a Silicon Valley venture capital firm, has closed its new $865 m fund, Headline Global Growth IV. The fund is targeting the critical growth stages of tech companies, aiming at Series B and up. Investment will target “inflection points” for companies in the US and Europe, offering flexible capital of $20 m to $70 m in size.
Led by Shalini Rao, Headline’s new Head of Growth, the Global Growth strategy unifies a diverse team with extensive geographic reach and advanced proprietary technology for sourcing and analytics.
This includes in-house platforms Searchlight and DeepDive, which the team can leverage to contact around 80% of companies that have had Series A funding every month.
Headline previously focused its growth stage investment work on companies in which they had earlier-stage exposure, backing notable names such as SEMrush, Pismo, and Fetch. With Global Growth IV, Headline will look to further diversify its investment team supporting “Paradiesvögel”-exceptional tech founders who are built for global success.
Rao underlines that the mission of the firm is broader than just capital: “We are unified by the singular goal of helping entrepreneurs succeed. It’s a mindset: we’ll do anything and everything we can to help our founders create generational companies.”
Headline’s focus on building close and long-term relationships with entrepreneurs, combined with a technology approach, will place the firm in an excellent position to capture and support prospective leaders of global markets of the future.
