The Capria Network of venture capital (VC) fund managers is aiming to raise a combined US$200 million by the end of 2018, with applications currently open to new funds wishing to join the network. The organisation pivoted late last year, no longer offering an accelerator but framing its work as a collaborative network for fund managers. “Capria Network is a global collaborative movement – a first-of- its-kind – that brings access to capital, expertise and knowledge resources to create locally-driven and sustainable impact in Latin America, Africa and Asia. Applications are currently open to the sixth intake to the Capria Network. Fund managers focused on providing risk capital to small and fast-growing businesses in emerging markets can apply here, until April 6.
