Framework Ventures Raises $400M Fund for Blockchain, AI, and Robotics

Framework Ventures has closed its fourth investment fund at $400 million, expanding its investment strategy to include artificial intelligence (AI), robotics, energy, and fintech alongside blockchain.

The oversubscribed fund, known as FVIV, attracted strong backing from returning institutional investors, including an Ivy League endowment, nonprofit organizations, sovereign wealth funds, and funds of funds. Framework said its investor base consists mainly of institutional backers.

FVIV will invest across private and liquid opportunities, including early-stage companies, liquid digital assets, and selected publicly traded securities. The fund targets startups from pre-seed through Series A, with investments ranging from $1 million to $50 million.

Framework has already deployed part of the fund by leading Mecka AI's $60 million Series A round and investing in distributed energy network Daylight. Its digital asset portfolio also includes Hyperliquid, Sky, and Plasma.
