SignalFire Secures $1 Billion Funding Round With CalPERS Investment For Venture Capital Growth

SignalFire, the data-driven venture firm founded by Chris Farmer in 2013, has raised over $1 billion in new capital, bringing its total assets under management to $3 billion—its largest fundraise to date. Known for integrating AI across the entire investment lifecycle, SignalFire focuses on pre-seed and seed-stage startups, with continued support through later rounds. The firm's approach has attracted major LPs, including CalPERS, which committed $100 million. Farmer credits the firm's appeal to institutional investors to its ability to deliver early-stage access at institutional scale, with notable portfolio companies like Grammarly, Grow Therapy, and EvenUp.
