Caerus Ventures

Caerus is a newly launched investment firm that will back and build projects that place creators, talent, IP owners and the highly engaged communities they serve, at the heart of these new enterprises.

Caerus is a Venture Capital Fund and Venture Lab backed by the NEAR Foundation which sits at the intersection of where creators, talent and IP owners meet capital, technology and change makers. They back and build the next generation of platforms, services and applications which feed our cultural passions and positions creators and consumers at the heart of these new enterprises.

Caerus Ventures has launched a $100 million venture capital fund and venture lab in partnership with NEAR Foundation.

NEAR will anchor the fund, which has an initial closing of $50 million and a target of $100 million for seed series A investments. The first investment will be in the venture lab, which will work with creators, talent and franchise owners to conceive, validate, test and build the next generation of platforms.
