BERLIN (Reuters) - DN Capital, a venture capital fund that has backed startups including Germany’s AUTO1, said on Friday it was launching a new fund worth $350 million, bringing total assets under management to $950 million. The London- and Berlin-based investor’s Fund V will back early-stage entrepreneurs in Europe, Britain and the United States building businesses around the adoption of digital technology, which has accelerated during the COVID-19 pandemic. Four portfolio companies have hit billion dollar-plus valuations already this year, including AUTO1 which floated on the German stock market in February and newly listed Mister Spex, DN Capital said in a statement. Fund raising by European venture capitalists has hit a record 55.5 billion euros ($65.7 billion) in the year to date - comfortably beating the total of 39.2 billion euros for all of last year, according to figures from Dealroom.co.
