The top 10 family offices for startup investments
  + stars: | 2024-11-15 | by ( Robert Frank | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +4 min
The top 10 family offices for startup investments made over 150 investments combined this year, in everything from biotech and energy to crypto and artificial intelligence, according to a new analysis. CNBC partnered with Fintrx, the private wealth intelligence platform, to analyze single family offices that made the largest number of investments in private startups in 2024. The most active family office so far this year is Maelstrom, the Hong Kong-based family office of American investor Arthur Hayes, who co-founded the crypto exchange BitMEX. For the sake of the list, family offices are defined as investment vehicles or holding companies of a single family or individual that don't manage money for outside investors. Nearly a third of startup capital in 2022 came from family offices, according to a PWC report.

Founded in France in 2021, Vibe offers a self-service ad platform that aims to make it super-easy for smaller companies to get their ads next to premium TV content. Vibe was carved out from KMTX, which sold to fellow adtech firm Seedtag in 2022 for an undisclosed sum. "We said, OK, let's just build the Google Ads of TV," Querou told Business Insider. "The ad platform for SMBs on broadcasting and streaming TV is difficult to cover because it requires a lot of manpower to be able to address all these SMBs," Kamber said. Check out a redacted version of the pitch deck that helped Vibe nab $22.5 million in Series A funding from Singular, Elaia Partners, Sequoia's Scout fund, Motier, and other individual investors.

Beyond its core game-prediction and social features, Omada has also worked on a range of campaigns to raise awareness about betting addictions. With the fresh funding, Omada will ramp up its product team, and focus on its expansion in the US.

French treasury management startup Fipto has raised $16 million in a seed round led by Serena Williams' venture capital fund. Paris-based Fipto uses blockchain technology to help speed up payments in both fiat and digital currencies for businesses. Treasury management is about managing and planning for an organization's financial needs, often by putting available cash to work elsewhere but international payments can often take time to settle - adding complexity to the role. Founded in 2022, Fipto's seed funding round was led by Serena Ventures and Motier Ventures. The company started raising funding late year and closed the round in April with Fipto benefitting from increased investor interest in the treasury management sector, Mollard added.
