Collide Capital announced the close of its second venture fund, raising $95 million to back early‑stage fintech, supply‑chain and future‑of‑work companies. Founded in 2021 by former Goldman and Lightspeed executives Brian Hollins and Aaron Samuels, the firm has already invested in 75 startups, including Culina Health and Helios.

The new fund aims to deploy capital over the next 3.5 years, writing checks of $1‑$3 million to at least 30 companies. Limited partners feature heavyweight institutions such as Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan, the University of California Endowment, Accolade Partners and Fairview Capital. Hollins said the capital will target platforms that automate processes, enable real‑time collaboration and accelerate data‑driven decisions.

Beyond the fund, Collide Capital is expanding its Collide Campus program, a mentorship pipeline launched in 2022. The initiative runs undergraduate tracks at more than 20 campuses—including Harvard and Johns Hopkins—and a graduate fellowship that places students alongside Collide investors. Over 50 alumni have secured roles at firms like General Catalysts and Collide itself.

The dual strategy of sizable financing and talent development positions Collide Capital to source high‑growth deals while cultivating the next generation of founders and investors. With a proven track record and deep LP backing, the firm is poised to influence the evolving fintech and work‑tech ecosystems.
