Nov 30 (Reuters) - Sapphire Ventures said on Tuesday it has raised $2 billion
across two funds in its largest capital raise, lifting the venture capital
firm's total assets under management to nearly $9 billion.

Founded in 1996 and spun out of software giant SAP (SAPG.DE) in 2011, Sapphire's
investments are focused in enterprise technology companies that have reached
growth stages.

The closing of the two funds - Sapphire Fund VI and Opportunity Fund III - comes
on the heels of a $1.7 billion capital raise which Sapphire closed in February
across multiple funds.

The firm has already started investing out of the two funds and expects the
capital to last through the end of next year, after which it plans to kick off
another fund, Nino Marakovic, chief executive officer and partner, told Reuters
in an interview.

Companies are looking to capitalize on abundant opportunity due to early stages
of a digital transformation wave on a scale never seen before, Marakovic said.

"The companies are growing faster than we've ever seen in the last two decades
of investing," Marakovic added. "In fact, there's no scarcity of capital. If
anything, these companies are struggling to hire quickly enough."



Besides investing, the firm is using the extra capital to grow its team and
expand its European presence including more offices besides its hub in London.

Sapphire's global portfolio includes 165 companies and the firm has invested
roughly $1 billion this year.

It has seen more than 70 exits through 45 acquisitions and 30 initial public
offerings, including that of work management company Monday.com Ltd (MNDY.O),
business payments company AvidXchange Holdings Inc (AVDX.O) and
direct-to-consumer DNA testing firm 23andMe Holding Co (ME.O), all of which went
public this year.
