Team8, a global venture fund, has closed $365 million in new capital — $265 million for its third fund and $100 million in follow-on investments — bringing total AUM to nearly $2 billion. The fund targets seed and Series A founders building AI-native companies across cybersecurity, software infrastructure, fintech, and digital health. Notably, Team8's company-building platform includes in-house talent acquisition and HR support, signaling continued investment in recruiting infrastructure for early-stage AI startups. A survey of 111 CISOs at Team8's summit found 97% of organizations are already adopting AI agents, yet security confidence averaged just 2.32 out of 5 — highlighting rapid enterprise AI deployment and the growing demand for specialized technical talent.
